Jack in April

Jack in April meant big things. The molars finally popped thru. Thank God! Jack has been chewing his fingers and treated them as teething toys for the past two months. Finally , I saw the white marks in his gums about a week ago. Poor kid was not having a good day. I hope that this marks the end of the teething. Plleeease!
He also likes to correct you when you say something wrong. Especially if you name the wrong Thomas the Train character. I accidentally called Salty the Train as Diesel 10, and he said" No, that's Salty." My mistake Jack, you're right.
He still cries when Brian drops him off at the sitter's. Our sitter reminds us that he only cries for about a couple of minutes after we leave and he is fine for the whole day, but we still feel horrible to hear that cry every Thursday and Friday. His sitter is a lady who has converted her basement as a day care. Jack is one of 6 or 7 that she takes care of. We like to call it the Melting Pot day care cause there is a French-Asian,a Russian, an Asian-American, and Irish-Italian and yours truly, the South American- Eastern European.
Another thing that we still do - whenever Brian and I go out for the night, we will say to each other "I miss him. Let's take Jack with us now. " It's good to have our nights to ourselves, but it is so hard to leave that adorable face for the night. Wouldn't it be hard for you too?


The aquarium at the Elmwood Park Library. Jack likes to run over there
and call for Nemo, but the fishes hide from him instead.




A typical night at grandma's house, as Jill and I try
to put on Pjs on our kids.
