Jackson is really maturing before our very eyes. It seems that we blinked and all the sudden he is more coordinated, says any and every word he's ever heard, more energetic and as busy as ever! One of the things he has recently taken to is coloring! It doesn't matter if its crayons, markers, ink pens or sidewalk chalk...he is all about it!! One day earlier this week, he managed to find where I had stashed 5 different sets of colors. He went straight for them as if he knew all of my hiding places. Luckily, so far he has been very responsible with the colors and hasn't ruined anything or caused any major mess. Locks and Height are my only advantage now!
Now that he's getting a little older, we try to incorporate something creative into his learning time. Since we have really been doing lots with colors, we pulled out the paint to make some lovingly-made works of art for our family members afar! He has asked to paint every day since!
Another big hit in the world of Jackson lately, although not new, is his train set. We literally have not gone a single day in the past two weeks where the first thing he does in the morning is to pull out the trains, tracks and all the accessories. Whoever gets him up in the morning gets a squeal of delight, BAM! his feet hit the floor and before you can turn his blinds, you hear a big crash behind you..."Dump! Trains! Momma/Dadda sit!" Once you help him get the track built, he will play on it off and on throughout the day, with and without you. But until that track is built, nothing else in the world matters; no dirty diaper, no hungry tummy, no crying brother.
