Jack is changing and every day we get a new surprise--mostly pleasant.  This morning he marched into his mom's room, who was asleep, told her that Lulu wanted to watch TV and ASKED if he could turn it on.  

In the car the other day when we were talking, he thought I said Jack was at Mimi's house.  He laughed and said, "Jack in car, Papa!"

I'm surprised that a 2.5 years old he has such a grasp on his  location.  For example,  if he is hot to go to Mimi's house, and we take a different route due to traffic, he'll give me the third degree.  "Where we goin', Papa?" Hard to sneak in a quick stop at the Papa Water store with this guy.  

Things we can do: count to 20, recognize colors, say ABC's (and recognize some letters), know darn near all types of construction equipment with special emphasis on trucks, talk on the phone, turn on everything, open any door that's not child proofed, eat with spoon, fork and hands (all at once), sing a few songs and dance (something his mom hasn't learned to do in 40 years).   [Note from Mommy:  Papa is the one who can't dance!  Jack also knows left from right 90 percent of the time.  If you ask him what time it is, he says, "8 clock."  He's learning the days of the week.  And next week we start Greek lessons.  :o)] 

In case you haven't learned enough,  give his Mimi a call and she'll talk about him for hours. 

Now if we can only get him interested in Potty Party Time.  The plan was to start a couple months ago but haven't found anything important enough to Jack to get him to sit still long enough on the potty for something to happen.  I suggested that we tie him to the pot but Mom and Mimi veto all my good ideas.
