Toddler Time!



Jackson's latest playtime has been focused on firefighters, skateboards, motorcycles, and his kitchen. Here's a quick snapshot of a half hour of playtime tonight...

...hilarious when he zooms around the corner on this bike!

Cooking up something yummy!

Dear Jackson,

Did you know that Mama and Dada were married four years ago this week? It seems like only yesterday we said, "I do" and now you are telling us, "I do!" 

I know I have said it before, but this stage is so much fun! Really all the "stages" are fun, but the toddler stage has been REALLY fun as you are learning and growing each day of your Terrific Twos! 

I love how you imitate what Dada and I do...from cleaning up after you make a mess, to putting your sockies away in your sock basket. You are such a good boy and we love you more than you will ever guess. Your smiles and laughter are the best thing to wake up to and we are so proud of your accomplishments already at two! You are respectful, kind, humble, funny, smart, and of course, the best boy in the world! When you accidentally knock me with your big head, you say, "You ok, Mama?" with a genuine concern in your big eyes. It always melts my heart. You enjoy going to "Chinese School" on Saturdays even when I'm ready to ditch because it's raining outside. All of your friends love to play and spend time with you. Your favorite thing to do is read with us and you have such a great imagination! You impress me constantly.

Love,
Mama

New Bed...

Sierra and I NEED a new bed...don't they say that you should have a comfy bed so that you can sleep well after a long day? We went last weekend to check out a new bed for Jackson instead and bought it...we will assemble it in a few weeks for our Big Boy but basically it's a twin bed. He enjoys his current Big Boy Bed (the crib that converts to a toddler bed), but I don't like how I can't sit on it when we read at night. So we chose a twin bed he could really grow into...and our own bed will have to wait. 
Actually, I've never seen Sierra jump so fast when he heard the price of the bed he loved (the Ergo Tempurpedic--amazing bed, but not amazing price). LOL!

Tonight I showed Jackson his new bedding (click here for a video). We just had to go with a transportation theme seeing as he is two and such a Big Boy...and he said, "I love my firetruck blanket!" He didn't want me to wash it but I finally convinced him we had to if he was going to sleep with it tonight. It will be sad to pack up his fish nursery theme...but hopefully we can unpack it for another little fish in the future. 


...Sweet dreams!

P.S. Here's Jack pretending to be a firefighter (click here).
