Jack: 4 Years 11 Months

Spring has sprung here in the Hudson Valley, and so have my freckles!  I’ve spent some quality time in the garden with Mommy this past month (helping her get ready to list our house for sale) and the result has been a little constellation of freckles across the bridge of my nose.  I like to point out to my sister that she has only one freckle, whereas I have a lot, like Mommy, so it’s sort of a status symbol.  Planting our garden has helped me learn a bit about how plants grow, and I can tell you that all plants need three things: dirt, water, and sunshine.

I’ve been working on trying new things, and although I’m still pretty timid (especially at the outset of new activities), I was willing to try rollerskating for the first time this past month.  And I almost kind of liked it!.  I’ve also been working on my math skills, and can fairly reliably add two or three one-digit numbers together (for example, I know that two plus four more plus two more is eight).

My favorite thing in the whole world right now is my sticker book of sweets, which I guard with my life.  I love talking about all of the goodies contained within my book, and if you’re especially nice to be I’ll grant you a sticker.

Current likes: the Rio movie and the Penguins of Madagascar movie

Current dislikes: when my sister gets her hands on my sticker book
