25 Months Old

All boy, oh my!  Here's what Jack's up to:
*He quickly learned to play the game of jumping out of bed so that we could chase him and get him back into bed every night.  After too many nights of this, we got a door lock.  I think this has worked as we find him in bed fast asleep when we check on him every night.
*He is one determined little boy.  When he gets his mind set on something, there is no stopping him.

*He is talking quite a bit and starting to put words together.  When asked he will tell you his name is Jack and he is 2.

*He LOVES ice cream.

*When he gets excited about something, even the simplest things, he claps and yells "yay!"

*He is such a monkey.  He climbs on EVERYTHING!!  Most recently, it's been common to find him on top of the dining room table, hanging off the bathroom vanity to brush his teeth, or climbing the ladder to the top bunk.

*He has started to learn the fine art of bugging his sister.  Sibling fighting is hitting a new high.

*He really likes to scribble and color with pens and crayons.  He is very good at holding them correctly and leans over, focusing very intently on whatever he's coloring.  When he's done he likes to eat the crayons.

*He is not a big fan of being in the water, but the more we're around it the less terrified he becomes.

*He loves anything with a motor - choo choo, trucks, tractors, boats.  He's very quick to point these out especially when we're riding in the car.  He's also started making truck noises when he plays with his car.  He's picked this up all on his own.  Such a boy.

*He is all about Jason's boat.  He points out "Daddy's boat" whenever we're in the garage and has even thrown a fit or two when he couldn't take it out for a ride.  I think he's been brainwashed.

*His favorite shows are Curious George, Cat in the Hat, and Caillou.

*He is barely holding onto his afternoon nap.  Now that we have the door lock, he does stay in his room, but if he falls asleep we're limiting them to 1 1/2 hrs so that he will fall asleep at bedtime around 8:00.
