Tubes Playdate

Jack got to go to a fun little playdate with a few of his friends. We went to The Tubes at Irving Bible church and met his friends Brynlee, Aubrey Kate, and James plus their mommies. I was a little worried about Jack because he has started being finicky about playing. He'll do something for a minute and then be done.

Jack exploring the tubes.

There was only a small spot for the little kids. It was connected to the bigger kids tubes so they had fun trying to walk up the big slides.

All four of the kids

Jack and Brynlee, or Bee-Bee as he likes to say.

Jack looking through the mesh at the other kids.

It looks like Jack had fun the whole time. And he did have a good time, but he was the first one ready to go. He'd walk to the door and say "all done" and "bye-bye". So we took a walk to the car, changed his diaper and walked back.

After all the kids were ready we headed to a Chick Fil A that was near. What kid doesn't like Chick Fil A? Jack, James and Brynlee shared a table and Aubrey Kate sat close by with her grandparents who were also there. As we were leaving, a man came up and asked how old the kids were. I told him around 17 months. He said he was asking because he has a small child and was so impressed with the floor under the table where the kids sat. He couldn't believe how clean it was. I was a proud mama at that moment.

Yummy!

Jack and his Sports

So far, Jack is all boy and loves his sports. Of course it helps that everything in his room has soccer balls, baseballs, basketballs, and footballs on it. He says "ba-baw" when he is talking about any kind of ball. He also points at the tv when you say "where's the baseball?" or "where's the football?" when a game is on.

We sang the "Saw Varsity's Horns Off" part of the Aggie War Hymn a lot this day so we got Jack singing part of it too. He just does one little phrase of it over and over AND he sways back and forth which is part of it. It is SO cute!

The very next day he was all about basketballs.

Game Day! Jack and I went to a concert in the park and listened to the Arlington City Band play.

Jack sat on the picnic blanket and ate his snacks while we listened to the band.

Then he was ready to move. You can see the stairs in the picture and that is what he was headed to.

Jack, Ben and Papa

Later that day we went to a pregame dinner at Ben's parents house.

In between the concert in the park and game night...

Jack practiced his basketball. We started out with him using Ben's ball, but then gave him my ball. It's made for women, smaller.

Throwing the ball

Double dribbling

All done!

A game night for the Rangers (they won).

I took this picture to send to Ben while he was at work.

September Preschool Forms

I wanted to be able to share with our family what Jack does everyday at preschool. So I decided to take a picture of his forms and post them.

These first few are from Parent's day out at church.

"Jack can say yellow and purple"

These are from his preschool that he attends twice a week.
