A day in the life of Jack.

Jack turned into a little boy overnight, no more baby Jack Jack. If we are outside, he is constantly throwing himself around on the ground yelling grunting noises and talking to himself. He always wants to read to Clara, or do not nice things to her like pulling, pushing, or pinching. But mostly he talks all the time... asking questions, commenting on EVERYTHING, and repeating himself until we answer him, making loud noises and sounds, and talking to Clara and Buddy(his stuffed animal that is by his side always.) He loves to sing songs and recently he makes up his own songs with a story or something he is thinking about to a tune that he knows.

Ah, the first child... is there ever a dull moment? I love it. And yes, our favorite name, most commonly used by Greg and I, Jack-o. :) I have been trying to teach Jack different things like shapes, colors, letters, Bible verses, anything I can think of to start him thinking about. And I decided to make a learning journal for him so that we can record the different memory verses he learns, and the other fun things he starts to learn in a journal. I thought this would be a good way to record it and to review it all. It will also give me some experience thinking about homeschooling and if it is something I feel confident about doing. :)
