Jack Attack

Jack is crazy. There are often new phases of childhood when a child peels off a layer and displays a new part of their personality. This has happened to me with each one of them, but I am still pleasantly surprised when it does.

Jack is entering one of those new phases. He is talking a lot more now and his phrases crack me up. Today he saw a fly and calmly asked for the fly swatter. He tried his best to smash the fly and gave up by saying, "I hate pesky flies!" And that fly would have been in for it too. There is no messing with Jack Jones.

The other day while he was on the swing set climbing up the 'rock wall' thing I called him the little rocker climber. He yelled, "Rock climber?! I not rock climber! I Jack Jomes!"

Jack also has some crazy kind of WWF gene in him. Somehow he knows just where and how to jump on you to make you groan. I have had to keep my guard up to make sure baby #4 is properly protected from his talent. Today I was at the sink doing dishes and Jack plowed into the back of me pushing my growing belly into the counter. After I screamed, he said, "Sorry!" in the voice of Gilly on SNL (not that he has seen her, he has picked it up from his aunts and mother.)

Note to self....keep up your senses while standing near the sink.

I love that picture of Jack. I did notice last night when they were over, Jack is talking a lot more. His expressions crack me up.
