Funny Man

I have not been good about bringing my camera on our outings lately. I will try to take some pictures to add to the blog soon. Here are some funny things our little man has said or done lately:

• One night I put Jack to bed. He usually goes to sleep shortly after we put him down. Sometimes he will get up and get some books to look at before he goes to sleep, but always makes his way back to his toddler bed to sleep. On this particular night, I heard him still awake 45 minutes after I put him to bed. I went in his room to check on him and he was sitting on top of his bookcase (it's only 2 shelves high) reading a book like that was the most normal thing in the world.


• Jim put Jack down for a nap in the pack 'n play in his room and told Jack that Mommy would be up in just a minute to say good-night. By the time I got to Jack's room (a couple minutes later), Jack was out of the pack 'n play and sitting on the edge of his toddler bed. The next morning, after sleeping all night in the toddler bed, Jack got up and climbed into the pack 'n play. We have taken the pack 'n play down and he just "naps" in his bed now. He really just gets up and plays or reads books.


• Recently, Jim and Jack were visiting Grandma and Grandpa. Jim put Jack down for a nap in the pack 'n play upstairs and went to cut the grass. When he came back, Grandma and Grandpa were still giggling over Jack's antics. Shortly after Jim went outside, Grandma heard some noises and went upstairs to check it out. When she opened the door, Jack looked up from the pack 'n play and said "Bunny rabbit in bed." He had crawled out of the pack 'n play, found his bunny rabbit, and crawled back in. Grandma told him it was time to sleep and went back downstairs. A short time later, she heard some more noises from upstairs, and simultaneously Grandpa noticed that the phone line was in use. He picked up the phone and heard Jack's voice on the line. So, they had a short conversation before Grandma went upstairs, again, and put Jack back in the pack 'n play. This time, Grandma turned on the baby monitor. Shortly after she came downstairs, she and Grandpa heard through the monitor that Jack had again escaped the pack 'n play and picked up the telephone. They heard him repeat over and over: "Grandpa on the telephone?" When Jim returned a few minutes later, Grandma and Grandpa told him the story and Jim went to get the playful little man, finally abandoning the nap.


• Jack's friend Ben was visiting when Jim got out the "tunnel." Jim told Jack to tell Ben about the tunnel. Jack pointed to the tunnel and said, "tunnel." I guess Jack didn't think it needed any further explanation.

Here is a picture from our trip to Ted Drewes this afternoon. Jack and I walked up there to meet Kathleen, her friend Tori, and their girls (who were sleeping in their cars). Jack had an ice cream cone, and it was messy!
