Here’s some videos and photos from the past couple weeks. I figured I’d better post them before the big birthday tomorrow.\u00a0 Did you know tomorrow is Jack’s birthday?\u00a0 I’ve only been reminded seventy gajillion times today.\u00a0 (psst, it’s not really his birthday.\u00a0 That’s the 28th.\u00a0 But we are having the party on the Saturday before, and I don’t want to tax his little brain with the concept of celebrating earlier than the actual day.\u00a0 Kid can’t tell a Thursday from a Saturday anyway.\u00a0 So if you wish to call to tell him Happy Birthday, the 24th is it this year.)<\/p>\n

You might see glimpses of my beautiful new walls.\u00a0 No poopy brown anymore! I love them!\u00a0 The art is a work in progress still.\u00a0 Bit by bit. \u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n

I’m down to the last sleeve on this sweater.\u00a0 Can’t wait to block and wear it!\u00a0 Maybe by NYC?\u00a0 <\/div>\n

Quick (poor) pic of the finished wall. I didn’t like the extra yellow accent wall, so I repainted it gray and then hung the hat rack by the door.\u00a0 <\/div>\n

Taking the boys out on the “chariot.\u00a0 It’s a Joovy Ultralight 1.5x stroller.\u00a0 The front seat is regular, the back has a bench and standing platform for older children.\u00a0 I freaking love it.\u00a0 We went to the grocery store on this trip.\u00a0 We go there a lot.\u00a0 <\/div>\n

I was not expecting a full report card.\u00a0 He actually did fairly good. Though, they recommend repeating this level before advancing.\u00a0 He’s going to be in a summer time preschool-like class next month.\u00a0 I’m not sure if we will do tumbling again.\u00a0 It was fun, but I like giving him lots of different classes.\u00a0 (Clearly, Amanda, you do not give your kids enough stamps on their grades.\u00a0 Jack got FIVE different stamps, and his name written in silver glitter pen.)<\/div>\n

He has struggled to hop with both feet together the whole session.\u00a0 A couple weeks ago he finally made it down the trampoline doing bunny hops.\u00a0 You can see him cringing his upper body to keep it together.\u00a0 His teachers were sincerely proud of him, and so was I!<\/div>\n
