My funny Jack

Funny Jack... This is his typical face when we tell him NOT to do something.  He closes his eyes, and lifts his eyebrows.  Punk.

Last night at dinner, we were talking to Ellie and Jack about my family's Christmas Nativity pageant that we do every year.  Ellie is going to be Mary, and we were talking to Jack about what he wanted to be.  We mentioned a sheep - which he thought was hilarious.  Then we said he could be a shephard.  We then mentioned that he could be a wise man, to which he got super excited and said, "Yes!  I want to be SpiderMan.  Mom, I need to get a Spiderman costume!"  We tried to correct him and say, "A wise man, not SpiderMan."  But it did no good.  He's sure he's going to be Spiderman for the pageant. 

And, of course we have taught our kids about what Santa brings in your stocking if you're not good.  Coal.  And everytime Ellie does something Jack doesn't like he says, "Ellie, you're going to get cold presents in your stocking!"  Awesome.  He's probably said that to Ellie 20 times this month.  And he says it totally ticked off.

Jack has this darling "pirate potty" book that talks all about this cute pirate and his potty.  And it comes with stickers as a reward for going to the bathroom on the potty.  Jack is completely potty trained, but we rediscovered the book the other day and realized that it came with a whole bunch of stickers.  He thinks the story is funny, so we've been reading it lately before his nap.  Well yesterday, Jack needed to go potty, so he and John ran into the restroom and John pulled down his pants to set him on the potty (he's still really short!).  Much to John's surprise, there was a pirate sticker stuck to the tip of his unit!  John laughed and said, "Buddy, what is that?"  To which Jack answered matter-of-factly, "My pirate."  He thought it was awesome. 

Jackson is one of a kind.  Little squirt.
