The Rat King

Just a quick and random update on my crazy Jack.

Quirky, hilarious Jack.

Man... this kid never lets us down on the entertainment side of things.

In the past few weeks we have been on quite the ride of Star Wars...namely Darth Vader.

Jack tried pasta (still THE pickiest kid that ever lived) and was rewarded with a Darth Vader doll that turned our worlds upside down....

He also went through a bit of a vampire phase (again) and wore his (adult) cape EVERYWHERE we went.

Very dramatic, this one.

(I love Brett explaining to him here that there isn't enough wind outside for adequate cape blowing.  HAHAHA.)

Costco:

A little out of order...but, when we went to Hawaii...my mom bought this crazy kid a talking Darth Vader helmet and jammies...and , let me tell you, it is intense.

Jack also is obsessed with the emperor from Star Wars. 

He channels his freakiness and hand positioning perfectly.

The next kick Jack was on was the RAT KING.

(Such a fitting name for a toy Jack would want)

Another Ninja Turtles villain that Jack could not live without.

He earned 10 eating stickers (and it was paaaaiiiinnnnffffuuuul)...

and to say he was happy about earning it is the understatement of the year.

In other Jack news...

I've been able to spend a lot of time helping in his class at school.

Recently, we went on another field trip...

and here he is with a couple of his rat buddies.

He's learning so much, and is so smart and fun at this age.

He is just starting to read simple books, and is definitely the most entertaining kid in his class!

He definitely keeps us laughing!!!

A day rarely goes by where we don't end up on the tramp. 

Even when it's cold out... we've gotta JUMP

 

Good thing he's got a good dad to comply!
