Dear Jack.. you have said so many funny and insightful things lately. Things that only the complete honesty of a child could come up with.. but unfortunately.. your brother is whining at me in one direction and I am trying to think with half my brain.. so the only story I can conjure up right now is the following..
Yesterday you and your brother were watching a show on the telly.. it had some rocking music so I stood in front of the TV and shook my rumpus in a manner that only a parent can do to utterly embarrass the poop out of their child. You yelled.. "Mummy, you can't do that!" and I stopped and said.. "but why?" and you exclaimed.. "Because your bum is too stinky!"
There you have it... I was officially out in my place. I skulked out of the office and into the shower. For the record.. my bum was not stinky.
Love always,
Mummy xo

dear jack, this morning you told daddy you loved your family. I don't know the details because daddy has the memory of a snail.. but the important part is that you said that and it was so sweet.
love always,
mummy
love always,

dear jack.. two things. the other day we took you and sammy to some hunting/fishing enthusiast mega-store so you could play on the atv's and boats. they had a fudge stand inside because what hunting mega store isn't complete without a fudge store.. so all american. anyhow.. as we left and walked hand in hand across the parking lot you kept saying, "more fuzz, mommy. more fuzz." it took me the whole parking lot.. and this lot was huge and full of 4wds with kc lights and gun racks.. to figure out that fuzz meant fudge. pretty darn cute.
next thing.. i just went wee and realized there was no teepee after the fact. as i sat there i realized that you were now old enough to be a go getter for me so i called your name.. rudely interrupting dora the explorer, and you diligently came. i asked you to go in the other bathroom and please get me a piece of toilet paper. you ran off and quickly returned with just that.. a piece of toilet paper. one square. i love you.

Dear Jack Gray...
Last night, when Poppy, Daddy and I were tucking you in Poppy said.. "Goodnight Little Man." You turned right around.. and said "Night-night Big Fella." I have no clue where you picked this up from but it was hilarious. Almost as hilarious as when Poppy gave you a kiss the other day and you covered your face with your blankie and said "Stinky mouth, Poppy." Daddy and I couldn't stop laughing and Poppy Jock thought it was pretty funny as well. He did rush off to brush his teeth straight after.. nothing like the honesty of a 3 year old.
All My Love,
Mummy xoxo

Dear Jack Gray...
Today... 3 days after you turned three.. I swear you have already grown from your terrible two's. You have advanced into a more mature version of your former self.. one who can now explain why he is melting down and what he does and doesn't want or like.
Your favorite protest as of late is to yell "Mommy QUIET!" when I ask you not to do something, tell you off for doing something wrong or if I just look at you the wrong way and you are in a sassy mood.
I am not liking this "Mommy quiet!" thing at all.. but I do relish the moments that come once you realize you may have hurt mommy's feelings. You cannot stand to think that Mommy may be sad so you always make up with me in less than a minute by embracing me or my legs.. depending on whether I am sitting or standing, rubbing my face or arm and saying "Mommy happy.. friends, mommy, friends." It truly melts my heart and makes me forget that you just screamed "Mommy quiet" at me. Boy, you are good and you are only three.
Tonight we put you and Sam to bed early as you were both clearly exhausted from a day in the garden. It was 6:30 p.m. and the sun was still up... as Daddy and I left the room you said.. "Mommy, turn off light outside?" Daddy then explained that it would get dark very soon.. you just accepted this and 10 minutes later you were snoring away... so was Daddy (on the couch.)
Oh.. one more thing.. Thank you for helping me weed by the way. I haven't seen a faster weed tosser outer in all of my 31 years. It was made even more adorable by the fact that you were pants-less and had a dusty bum from sitting in the dirt. Just priceless.
All My Love, Mummy xoxo
