Jack- Three Things



1.  Jack is still the hardest worker ever.  He often works harder than a grown man -- hauling wood, running the sprinkler system, moving pieces of equipment, sweeping/vacuuming.  No job is too large for him and I often joke that he is certainly "the man of the house" when Steve is not around.  Just last week, I woke Jack up early one morning because it was starting to rain and the lawn mower was left outside.  He flew out of bed so fast, grabbed the key, ran outside (in his pajamas) and started it right up.  He drove around the house and parked it perfectly in the garage for me.

2.  Jack is built quite solidly.  He has large hands and a lot of muscle packed on his body.  In the last year, he has grown more than 3 inches and has started to become a tad more lean.  He is looking less like a little boy and more like a young man.

3.  Jack is heading off to all-day kindergarten this year and is SO excited about it.  He is thrilled to be riding the school bus with the girls every day and is more than ready to continue his learning.  My only concern is that he is used to taking a rest in the afternoon (that boy plays hard and crashes hard) and he won't be able to do that anymore.  We have been getting him used to skipping his nap more and more, but I definitely notice that he does better in the evening when he has rested.  My fingers are crossed for a smooth transition later this month.
