3 Years and 13 Months Weeks 3 and 4

Wow!  What a busy two weeks!  We went to Weston, FL with Nana and Papaw for a week.  Jackson, Drew and Papaw got to go fishing with Uncle Zack.  They all caught fish off the Florida keys.  Jackson and Carson had fun playing with their cousin, Kaia.

Jackson and Carson did a lot of swimming at the resort's pool.  Jackson loved jumping off the edge of the pool.  Carson preferred floating around in his raft.  We built sandcastles with Nana at the beach one day.  It was too choppy to get the boys in the ocean but we walked along the beach.  Papaw took us to see alligators.  Both boys touched the baby alligator.  Jackson said, "It will bite me," when I asked him if he wanted to hold the alligator.  What a smart boy!

Carson has spent the last two weeks perfecting his walking.  Now, he does not crawl anywhere.  We officially have a toddler and preschooler in the house.  Jackson starts preschool tomorrow for half a day three days a week.  He is excited!

We spent last week with Grammy and Poppy in Savannah.  All five cousins were there for Thanksgiving.  Jackson was the oldest at 3 years old and Jillian was the youngest at 9 months old.  It was a lot of fun and a lot of chaos! Poppy said their house would never be the same again.

3rd Birthday Party

 

Jackson celebrated his 3rd birthday at the airport.  We sent boarding pass invitations.  He choose to have a pull apart cupcake cake in the shape of an airplane.  He helped me make airplanes out of Tootsie rolls, a stick of gum, two lifesavers and a rubberband.  The parents and kids had a great time watching the planes take-off and land.  Carson would point and yell, "Ane. Go. Go. Bye. Bye."  We were at the park by the airport for 3 hours and Jackson was still amused by the planes at the end of the party.  I have never seen him sit so quietly and just watch.

2 Years Old and 13 Months Week 1

Happy Halloween!  We carved a pumpkin with the boys.  Neither one of them wanted to touch the gooey insides.  Jackson loved blowing out the candle inside and asking me to "fix it."

We had the neighbors on the street over for a potluck before the trick-or-treating started.  Jackson loved running around with all the big boys.  Jackson did not understand about trick-or-treating until it began but he got the hang of it fast.  He was running from house to house watching for spooks along the way.  He told us it was "a great party."

Both boys went as skeletons.  Their costumes were glow in the dark pj's. 

Carson is cutting two molars this week.  He said Riley.  It is funny to hear him talk when Jackson would not at this age.  Both boys are getting so big.  We bought Jackson size 12 shoes this week.  Our neighbor who is in kindergarten wears an 11.5.

Jackson fell into a table leg this week and ended up with 5 stitches in his eyebrow.  It is healing well but still bruised and sore.
