I bid you adieu

So yeah. We're off to France today. The week started with a virus for Jack, fever and throat, but he's fine today. Can't wait for Mommy to get sick next!

In my absence, I urge you to check out my blogroll. If you do that normally, then keep checking it. If not, enjoy some fine writing and blathering on about various things.

See you in October...

Head over heels

Jack learned how to do somersaults yesterday. I had Josh demonstrate it once for him, and he immediately starting doing it himself. He's so winning the gold medal in the toddler Olympics.

Bear down

Hey look, it's mini Brian Urlacher!


I am the Monster of the Midway! Give me a cookie."

I hear this how Urlacher wears his Elmo hat too, kicked to the side, naturally.


There's football groupies? I'm there!

Shirtless in Chicago

My son apparently is well on his way to sleeping in the nude.

His new thing, three nights running and at this afternoon's nap, is to remove his shirt. Well, kind of.

He somehow gets his arms up through the neck hole and then pulls it down around his chest and waist. While he is doing this, he is having so much fun, he won't go to sleep.

This afternoon, he was up there chattering and laughing for over and hour and a half. I go up to see what the issue is and there he is, sitting with his shirt around his waist, with a big, "HI!" and a smile.

It's back to the one-piece jammies tomorrow.

We should probably be thankful for small favors though. At least it's not his diaper he is removing.
