Before we get to our adventures at the park, here is a peak in to some memorable moments this week.
Bedtime love:
At bedtime on Wednesday, Haley went to give Jackson a kiss goodnight in his crib. He smiled back at her and blew her a kiss. How sweet is that!!!
Some nights when I'm rocking Jackson reading his story Haley will peak into his room and tell me, "if you need anything, Mom, just call me." She's such a good helper, most of the time.
On Thursday Haley was saying her prayers and what she was thankful for. She does the usual, Mommy, Daddy, Jackson, Tiger, Buster..., but this night she said she was thankful for God too! I was proud of her.
Sibling love:
The other morning Haley was a little tired and having a rough morning. She tripped upstairs and began to cry. Jackson went to get her tiger and gave it to her! He's already learning to protect her, how cute!
At school we always drop Jackson off first. I told Haley to give him a hug and instead she gave him a kiss. Cute, but then the little boy next to Jackson tried to give him a kiss too. I stopped it and told them to give high fives instead, which they did. It was funny watching them trying to hit hands.
Talking:
Jackson is trying very hard to repeat words. He has a few down but most words still sounds the same. He loves his football and the other day when he was playing football with Matt, he took his ball and said "touchdown!". Just in time for the superbowl.
Parenting:
I told Haley to put away her toys before she went to get more out. She looked at me and said, "don't talk me to that way". At that point I looked at her and said you don't talk that way to your Mother. So she repeated it a little nicer, "Please don't talk to me that way". I tried not to laugh. She was so matter of fact but I didn't let her get away with that. Some days I think she is 3 going on 16!
On Saturday we took the kids over to Northshore Park to play. We had a blast.
Jackson loved the soccer ball
Haley loved the sand
Jackson would climb up all by himself and then go tummy first down the slide.
And sometimes Haley would take Jackson down the slide with her. Not sure this is going to end up good...
Hey Sister, quit dragging me!
Pretty girl being a monkey
Jackson knows just what he wants
That's better. Hi Daddy!
They have an awesome rock wall for the kids. Haley was having fun trying all the different ones.
The "hand" from the Munsters showed up too...
Haley and Mommy went down the slide together
And look who was waiting at the bottom!
So we took Jackson up next and all held hands
My life: I'm running and the kids are still 3 steps in front
Jackson is quite the soccer player. He was dribbling the ball all around the grass. I was amazed as I just watched him go go go. He is a Lewis afterall.
And even when he fell, he always kept his eyes on the ball
Daddy gave him a few tips
And finally, we ended by watching the ducks. What a fun, free adventure!
Have a great week!
