Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

Jack gets it. He really gets it.
We were reading from a Dr. Seuss book last night that has the story of The Sneetches. You know the one- some had stars on their bellies, some did not...
Well, Jack was "reflecting" on this story, and said, "Mom, the Sneetches are kind of like Martin Luther King, Jr." I suppose he sees that the unfair treatment of the non-star bellies is similar to the white skin, dark skin idea...
He really gets it....

Happy 7 Weeks...

Hard to believe what was happening in our lives 7 weeks ago...seems like it was yesterday!

Camping Out

Jack likes to pretend he is camping out...He puts down a big blanket, chooses a few "friends" and pretends to go to sleep...notice all the animals "tucked in"...
You think this is funny? Wait till you see the post that follows....

A Bigger Bed...

So, Jack loves his stuffed animals. When I say love, I really mean it. He has quite an attachment to each one, and so, at bedtime, choosing one "soft friend" is hard. While getting Jack himself ready for bed is fairly quick, Jack getting his "guys" ready can take a long time. With the count anywhere from 10-20, each one gets tucked it...

When we bought Jack's new bed, I didn't know he'd need a bigger one this soon....This is what his bed looked like this morning.

We spent the afternoon of President's Day at Sea World...Jack had a little more fun than Molly did- she slept through the day...and thankfully the car ride there and home.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Be Mine...

Jack announced in the car...
"Mom, when Molly gets older, I am going to buy her a necklace for Valentine's Day...Because I just love her...a lot."

Also...."When Molly gets bigger, she is still going to be my little sister. She'll be that forever."

Molly's First Ears

Molly's first trip to Disneyland...February 4th, 2008,
