A Little of This and a Little of That........

Things have been pretty ho hum around Jace's house as of late. He continues to do great at daycare and seems to be learning a lot and playing hard. His daily reports used to come back checked 'Happy' and 'Quiet'. Now they come as 'Happy' and 'Active'. He has also been giving Elmo a break according to his teachers. No longer is Elmo an extension of Jace....just a friendly face on occasion. Mommy had quite a few random pics on her camera so you, Jace's loyal blog readers, are in luck tonight!

We decided to turn the front porch into a sort of playroom for Jace. We moved everything out (i.e., old boxes and junk) and redid the floors. Then we cleared out our living room of the 90,000 toys that were cluttering it and threw them all on the porch. Jace loves it because he can drive his cars really fast on the floor and Mommy loves it because she has some space back in the house.

Jace is such a little sneak. The child will not eat fruit to save his life........most of the time. The other day Daddy had been eating an apple and set it on the table while he went to the bathroom. The next thing Mommy knew, Jace had climbed up to the table and was eating Daddy's apple. Mommy can relate--it always does taste better when it's someone else's.

Catching a football game with Daddy. Jace seemed pretty into the game for a while but Mommy knows he was really just in it for the chips.

Jace was able to stay awake until 7:30 for Daddy's volleyball game tonight. Daddy plays in a million different leagues but most of his games are played into the wee hours of the night. We are talking like 7 or 8 pm people! Jace cannot tolerate staying up this late! He did fairly well although he was upset after Daddy took him on the court between games......he would rather have stayed on the court and to be their 5th man.

Jace's morning routine consists of coming downstairs, getting a bowl of cereal, turning on the t.v. and tuning in to one of his favs....Curious George.

And finally, Jace's new favorite word......cheese. We know....this kid couldn't pick stranger words to love. It started with Chuck E. Cheese as he found this cup with tokens in it. Then he realized that when he said 'cheese' by itself he got that yummy yellow kind. So Jace has consumed probably way too much cheese in the last few days but Mommy just can't resist his little lisp!
