bubba update

Ad to think, his eyes used to be blue.
Still a cutie pie.

So, there are some things Jack has been saying lately that deserve an update. Mostly because I need to remember them, partly cuz they're so dang cute.

We finally showed Jack the Toy Story franchise, and subsequently got him hooked. The last picture you see there is him 'shocking,' (translation-shooting) Buzz Wightyear style. Jack still can't pronounce the 'L' sound yet. But, Buzz Wightyear is a vast improvement over 'Buzz Weiser.' Um, no, I don't drink beer, why do you ask? Oh, my kid, right-no, he's trying to say Buzz Lightyear, you know from that movie, oh, okay, fine. Nevermind.

I went to Wally World and bought Jack a coupla Nerf and cap guns, so now Jack likes to 'shock,' me. We have lots of fun shooting stuff around the house, haven't broken anything yet. I should have gotten more of the sucker thing rounds........

Jack still has only 'she' and 'hers' as far as pronouns go, but we're working on it.

His vocabulary is growing by leaps and bounds. Thanks in part probably to Toy Story, stories about outer space and planets are becoming favorites of his.

Jack loves to swim, and has really gotten into it this summer. Still with the floaties, but maybe swim lessons next year.

We went to Vegas for a quick three day trip. Stayed at a posh hotel, ate fancy food, relaxed, watched a show. Day three we get a call from the bubba, who sounds sad and informs Heather that "I wost my momma and my dadda....."

I drove 100 miles per hour the whole way back.
