Jackson's Fun Day

Ah, Thursdays! Thursdays are wonderful to me because we have no where to be. We do not have any classes to rush to or school to get ready for. We can lounge in pj's all day or hang with friends. It doesn't matter because Thursdays are our free day! Today I decided that I would take Jack to see the Easter Bunny. Ever since he learned about birthdays he has been into what comes next. He keeps asking if Christmas comes next or summer (because he wants to go swimming) and knows the order of all our birthdays, including Grady's, because the sooner Grady comes out the sooner he can have his pirate birthday.

So, with all that in mind, I thought I'd take Jackson to see his Easter Bunny friend that he has been talking about for weeks now (ever since he found out Easter and Spring come next). We headed out to the mall and the kid was chatty cathy the entire way because he was so excited. At one point he asked me, "Mommy, why aren't you talking to me?" when I didn't respond fast enough. He even said with a very serious voice, "I am so excited!" He also practiced how he was going to smile for the picture asking me which smile I thought was the best. Lol! We got to the mall and I was expecting to have to wait in line for a while. You should see the Santa line at our mall...CRAZY! Anyway, we get there and there is no one in line! I about fainted! Jackson was so excited and just sat smiling next to the big bunny. He was mesmerized!

After our wonderful Easter Bunny extravaganza I let Jack play in the little play area in our mall. He had a blast and for the first time I didn't really have to keep an eagle eye on him. He was very kind to the other kids and took turns. When I told him it was time to go, he came right out and hopped up in his stroller. AMAZING!

Next, we got some lunch and he sat in his chair and ate everything! Because he was so good I told him he could go on the horsies (Carousel). He was ecstatic! As I was getting dizzy standing next to him he was enjoying his little horsie ride yelling "yeehaw" over and over again. I guess we really are raising a little Texan! Don't worry mom, I will still influence him with our California roots!

Finally, we went to the book store and I let him pick out some books! The kid LOVES to read! Of course he picked out a noisy Thomas the Train book but thankfully mommy found some good Eric Carle books that I can use to actually teach him something. LOL!

All-in-all, we had a FANTASTIC day! And, the best part is is that he is asleep right now! He has not napped in five days! I have been persistent putting him down everyday anyway and he has fought and fought. Not today. Nope! He is sound asleep! Wahoo for mommy!!!! Below are some pictures of our fun day!

We met the Easter Bunny, or Spring Bunny as Jack calls him.

Then we went on the carousel!

Finally, we got some new books! Apparently the shades help him read:)

Holy Holy

I can't stop singing, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty." Scott and I went to the "big" ultrasound today where we tested to see if our baby had Down's, one of the Trisomy disorders, or any neural tube defects. I must admit the palms were a little sweaty and the heart was racing a bit. As surreal as this pregnancy is, I don't want anything to be wrong with this precious life inside of me. Well, holy is right. The Lord is not just good; He is awesome! Our little baby instantly began moving and grooving for us showing off fingers and toes and a great heart beat! Even though I am on my third, watching the miracle of life on that screen NEVER gets old! It truly blows my mind every time I get to see our precious angels developing inside of me! The scan came out wonderfully. We got all positives on all the scans the doctor (who was absolutely INCREDIBLE) could do. Now we just wait for some blood work to confirm that everything is okay with our little boy. ...

The Cup

I walked into the kitchen and spotted a blue solo cup on the counter. The following conversation played out in my head: "Whose cup is this? Which kid took out yet another cup? Didn't I ask them to stop getting a new cup every time they needed a drink? What is wrong with these people? They obviously don't ever listen to me." In the midst of my frustration, I realized the cup was mine. Oopsies. Good thing I didn't speak those words aloud. I went on with my life and my to-do list leaving MY cup right where I found it. I am the grown-up and can leave my cup where ever my grown-up heart desires. I came back into the kitchen a little while later and saw the cup again. I completely forgot the cup was mine so I rehashed the above conversation in my head. I was baffled by who left that cup on the counter. And then I remembered it was me. Again. Y'all, I did this two more times throughout the night. It was like Groundhog's Day but I was the only one celebrat...

Baby on the Floor

Yesterday I was putting a couple of things in the closet for the baby of what is going to be the nursery. Jackson was helping me and asked me where the baby was going to live. I told him where and he was excited since the room is next to his. Later that night Scott and I asked him where the baby was going to sleep and he responded by telling us that the baby was going to sleep in his room. When I asked him where in his room he told me, "on the floor." Scott antagonized him telling him that the baby would not sleep in his room but in the nursery. Jackson got mad at him and yelled over and over again that the baby was sleeping in his room on the floor. Oh my...it starts already!
