Dr. says Jack will probably be 6'2 when he grows up.
He has met or exceeds all the developmental milestones.
Now, we just need to tackle potty training.
We're spoiled with three kids who are usually great sleepers. Tonight, not so much.
7:30 pm: All three in bed and quiet.
9:00 pm: Mommy and Daddy are sleeping, too.
11:30 pm: Molly is up, crying. I go in to lay her back down and comfort.
11:48 pm: Molly is up, crying. I think she's warm so we go out to the kitchen for temp check, Tylenol, sippy cup, comfort and back to bed. Check on Jack. He's cool.
11:56 pm: Molly up, crying, comfort, etc.
12:48 am: Molly up. Comfort. Jackson up. Kitchen, Tylenol, sippy cup, he jabbers about candy. Sings Appletree, counts stars, says prayers.
1:17 am: Molly up. Out to chair to rock in the dark. Set a ten minute time limit. Didn't say a word to her, just rocked. Back to bed.
2:00 am: Mommy to couch because Daddy is snoring. Watching tv.
4:05 am: Alarm goes off. Time to work a full day with no hope for a nap.
At least Natalie slept all night...

Greatest Frustrations: not potty trained, bullheadedness, need to have everything just right (OCDness)
Awesome Abilities: singing/dancing/drumming, using his imagination, bike riding, counting backwards (to blast off), dresses himself, says the whole supper prayer all by himself
Greatest Fears: loud noises and losing Blue Puppy
Best Attributes: tender-hearted, happy, polite, smart, loving
Funny Stuff He Does: puts crayons behind his ear like Papa holds his pencil, takes his shoes off on the step like Papa does, tries to wash Molly in the tub, has a super long routine for the tractors, knows most of the words to "Johnny's in the Basement"
Three seems to be a magical age when kids are stuck between being a baby and being a big kid. Jack still sucks his thumb when he's tired and is incredibly attached to Blue Puppy and snuggling Mommy and Daddy. However, he rides bikes, talks ALL the time, and is going to play tball this summer. I think this age is amazing since I'm not ready for my first baby to grow up, but I love watching him learn new things and experience the world.
