There are so many things that I want to remember about Jack right now. He is so full of life. He is always acting something out in his head. I love the way he says "Thank you, mommy, you're welcome" or "Hello boys and girls" or "hey what's going on here". He has so many cute catchphrases that he says right now. He's really getting good at talking, which makes it a little easier at times. He's a very sweet little boy. As active as he is, he always stops to give me a hug and a kiss. He's still a pretty big mommy's boy. He's always with me and he watches everything I do, which he sometimes acts out.
Jack has been loving his school this last year. Last year he made the big move from the infant room to the toddler room and it took him a while to adjust, but now he runs the class. He loves learning. His teachers tell me that circle time is his favorite time of the day. He has a photographic memory and if you tell him something once, he remembers it. He's known the entire alphabet since he was 18 months old. People are always impressed and they ask me what we did to teach him. I tell them YouTube kids. He just memorized the letters from watching videos, plus he has a lot of letter puzzles and letter toys to play with.

We are trying to start potty training, but that's not going so well. Jack wants nothing to do with the potty. I try to get him to sit on it as often as I can, but he fights me. When I ask him if he wants to sit on the potty he quickly responds with "nope". I'm pretty sure he will learn how to read before he learns to poop in the toilet. I'm praying that when he's ready it just clicks, but for now, it's a big frustration for me.
Even though it's not always easy, I honestly don't know how I ever lived without this little angle in my life. He fills my world with love. I say this all the time, but there is no greater title I have than being "Jack's mom".
