My favorite part...is half the way through he said, "Argh! I drew the INSIDE of a body NOT the outside." I asked him when he was done if he wanted to draw the outside now and he said, "No, you do it Mom" and walked away.

Draw A Body Test
I met with Jack's teacher today. She made mention that the kids do a draw a body test as part of their K-Screening. Jack didn't have to do it as he is the only one in his class not going to K next year, as his birthday is past the cutoff. BUT...I have NEVER seen him draw a body before. So I gave him paper, pen and said "Draw a person." This is what I got... My favorite part...is half the way through he said, "Argh! I drew the INSIDE of a body NOT the outside." I asked him when he was done if he wanted to draw the outside now and he said, "No, you do it Mom" and walked away.

Bronwyn and Buster
The rolling diva doesn't demonstrate speed here but does show her affection for her pet, Buster. He loves her too!
Bravo Avocado
Bronwyn took her first bite of solid food tonight. Jack picked it out and mommy fed it to her. Avocado--mashed and apparently delicious. She opened wide, grabbed the spoon, and fussed for more, more and more! She ate up the entire bowl and loved every minute of it. Once again, proving to be her brother's polar opposite!
With great anticipation!
Accepting it with fervor!
One of what I suspect will be many clean plates and bowls!
Wacky Jacky is Back
This week began T-Ball season and Jack for the second year in a row joined the fleets of 3-5 year old boys ready to kick dirt, chase balls and swing at thin air in hopes of connecting with that ball the game is named after. Over excited? High spirited? Wacky? All terms applicable when describing how he behaved during his first practice. The real tell...his new coach said "Jack, yes I heard ALL about him from Coach Vinny." HAHAHA! Here are a few highlights.
Jack, like last year, insisted on wearing his hard helmet during practice. He did lose it, eventually!
Perhaps he should have kept it on. Yes, his thrown ball is the one suspended in air--BEHIND him! Guess where it landed? Yup...his head still proved to be a magnet for the ball.
He was much more into the game this time--as long as he wasn't distracted by birds, piles of leaves and mud piles. Like last year he demonstrates his strength is in connecting to the ball. WAY TO GO!
And here is his first home run of the season ;) My favorite part. Watch for how he waits for the children to move off the base before he tags it. Such nice manners. ;)

Jackisms Part IV
Jack: Don't be mean Mom, I'm your son not your husband. *blush*
Jack: Mom, what happens when Steak-n-Shake runs out of steaks and shakes?
Mom: They go out of business.
Jack: Ah, but what happens if they run out of steak and shakes but not money?
Jack when he got home after his first swim lesson: I think I will go search for my confidence. Last I saw it was in my foot stool. I think it is purple.

Playful Bronwyn
With her toes finally touching the floor when placed in her jumper she finally learned what spring load means. She also confirmed what we all know--chocolate cake beats cheesecake even when it is pretend.

"There never was a child so lovely but her mother was glad to get her to sleep" Emerson.Kicked out of her bouncer (due to rolling out of it on will) Bronwyn is trying out new sleep positions. Seems more like an advertisement for baby chiropractor.
Jack has been working on his drawing and writing skills. An area of difficulty for him but due diligence pays off! Look how far he has come. Congrats Jack!

This Week
Jack made a volcano and Bronwyn erupted in kisses. That's right, she started to give those delicious baby slobbery kisses this week (5 months 1 week.)
Jack sang a silly S song non-stop this week and Bronwyn learned to put hersel to sleep at bedtime.
What will next week possibly bring?
