There is never a dull moment with a 3-yr-old in the house. Our time with him in the evenings is so precious, especially now that I will be working full-time for a couple months. Here are some weeknight pics of Jack Everett entertaining us in the living room.
Jack and Sadie playing tug-of war with her stuffed Schnauzer.
Ironically, Cesar Millan, "The Dog Whisperer", is in the background teaching a family how to calm their dog. In the meantime, Sadie is growling and snapping, running in circles all outta control.
Santa hit a home run with this ViewMaster with "Ratatouille" slides.
He is very careful with the slides and moves carefully from scene to scene. I wonder how little brother will be with such delicate toys.
If one of us tries to look through it, he wants to see too. He always tries to look in the side.
He successfully stacks all 26 alphabet blocks.
... he likes "The Biggest Loser" too. He says the numbers on the scale as soon as they appear.
He still loves this dinosaur headlamp, but when he turns it on...
... he lowers it and covers his eyes.It's amazing how many toys ONE little boy can drag out of his room in just a few short hours on a weeknight. Our lives have been changed forever with this little gift from God. Jeff and I ask each other almost daily, "Can you imagine our evenings when we have TWO?" It already seems like we have far too fews hours awake with Jack Everett.
He has been waking up in the middle of the night the last few nights. This is not normal for him, and certainly not normal for us. We are hopeful that it is because his little body is finally waking him up to go pee-pee, and that we might soon jump that last potty-training hurdle. (The problem is, once he goes potty he usually says something like, "I'll take some Kix with bananas in it please," OR, "I'm just gonna watch some cartoons, okay?" I have to explain that it is 2 a.m. and the world is still sleeping.)
We also consider this new pattern as training for when we bring a newborn into the house. We are exhausted, just from three nights of this. Jeff and I LOVE OUR SLEEP.
Boy, are we in for it.

How cute and yes it just seems like God's way of getting you ready for the next little one that will wake you up for some lovin' and eatin' in the middle of the night! And if jack gets up to pee pee too then that is good too! No more wet beds or wet pull-ups! That is a great day, I remember it well! Just a few weeks ago!! Ha Ha!! You know Lacey! :>)

What happened to Sadie? She's like half the dog she used to be!
Yes, y'all are definitely in for some sleep deprivation when that baby arrives, but remember you won't be working. And I guess maybe Jack can come play with Alli so you and baby can nap during the day :-) She misses her buddy.
Love all the pics!
"The Dog Whisperer" is the best show ever!!!
