Boys

The morning started at like, 4am or something when Jack woke up, wide awake and wanted to eat breakfast NOW and go downstairs and watch cartoons. Seriously, thank goodness Garrett was getting up anyway. We had to take a morning detour and go jump on the trampoline at Gigi's house for awhile to bust out some of that energy that was threatening to give me a nervous breakdown. Days that I feel frazzled I need some Jane Austen. I don't know why I don't own the whole collection of books and movies. I seriously need them.

I was looking back at pictures of Jack when he was two months old to compare the boys, and Jack was way chubbier! Max weighs 12lbs and is 24.5 inches long, and Jack at two months was 14lbs 3oz and 25.5 inches long. And I think Max looks more like Garrett.

Even though Jack has been potty-trained since this summer, we're having issues with wetting his pants again, since Max has been around. It's frustrating and we're trying to keep him interested in staying dry by keeping a potty chart. Every time he goes potty in the toilet he gets to put a sticker on his chart, and if he's stayed dry all day he gets a gold star. When he gets seven gold stars he earns a new toy. He finally earned his seventh star yesterday. It's only taken him two months. I'm thinking we should make the reward sooner, like after three or four stars. But he is so nutty about Thomas trains that I'm hoping when he goes to pick out his new train he'll get excited about earning another one.
