4!



Jack turned 4 today. In no particular order, here's a brief list of who he is right now:
  • Adding the word "eyeball" to the end of any statement is his idea of comedy gold. 
  • He just recently quit saying "viscusting" instead of disgusting. We miss "viscusting" because it had almost an onomatopoeia-thing going on. 
  • On any given day, he will have filled his pants pockets with army men, barrel of monkeys monkeys, hot wheels, Lego people or acorns. Doing laundry has become a little more challenging for me.
  • He's an early bird--always has been, in fact. It's not uncommon for him to wake up before 5am in the morning.
  • Much to his father's delight, he's becoming very interested in all things Star Wars.
  • His requested birthday dinner tonight was "snacky dinner" which is, various good cheeses, with crackers, fruit and veggies. This is probably his favorite meal of all time.
  • In lieu of a traditional birthday party, Jack requested that we go up to his "Omi's" house in New Braunfels to celebrate. He explicitly requested that his cousins all be in attendance. 
  • His best friends at school are Christopher, Nikolas and Matthew. 
  • He still refers to "Moves Like Jagger" as "his song" when he hears it.

The Most Exciting Thing!

If you're a newly-minted 6 year old, and you still haven't lost a tooth yet--despite having 3 wiggly ones and friends losing teeth right and left all around you--finally losing that first tooth is a giant, honking-big-deal. Last night, during Beyonce's performance at the Super Bowl halftime show, Anna's finally fell out. She was over-the-moon excited about it.


Naturally, we put the tooth under her pillow and, low and behold, the tooth fairy delivered! A gold $1 coin! Excitement all around!
