Jacer Racer!

Do we perhaps have a future NASCAR driver on our hands?? Anything is possible at this point (except maybe a stint on Dancing with the Stars since Jace appears to have inherited Mommy's rhythm). Jace LOVES his cars! In the last week he has went very few places without one of them securely in his hands. He plays with them right up until bedtime and grabs one first thing when he gets up in the morning (after he signs 'eat' to Mommy). We are working on saying 'car' but for now they are mostly referred to as 'vroom vrooms'.
Jace in his usual position as of late: going nowhere without a car

Naked driving during Wheel of Fortune (Mommy RULES!)


There have been a few time recently when Mommy has been able to catch Jace in a pose without an automobile.
One day Mommy was in the kitchen and when she peeked in to check on Jace he had climbed in the chair with his book and was pretending to read it out loud to himself. He was even pointing to pictures and jabbering!


Spring is here!! Jean Jacket Cutie!


Jace practicing his resting skills with Ozzy

And on the subject of resting skills----Jace has vastly improved his napping. Mommy and Jace have been using 'positive thinking' techniques from her half-marathon training program. The awesome book she is reading as part of her training really gets into aspects of thinking positively. One of the things it recommends is having people ask you 'Are you a marathoner?' To which Mommy must reply 'Yes I am'! Now, even though she is only doing 1/2 of a marathon and the whole thing is a little Bob the Builderish (Can we build it? Yes we can!) Mommy decided to try the same techniques with Jace. Now she asks him 'Are you a good napper? Yes you are!' It seems to be working because Jace is doing regular 2 hour naps in the afternoon!! Go Jace!
