Jack Awesome

I met a new friend last week. His name is Jack. Jack Awesome....

I would really like to call him something else, feel free to let your imaginations run wild here, but my sister filled me in recently about a great way to cut back on swearing or such name calling as I would like to use in this instance.

It works wonderfully. I've even added a little twist or two for especially naughty word-worthy moments. Let me demonstrate.

The Booger was taking a naked pre-bath run, and peed on the floor. Not in the bathroom. Directly on the carpet. And laughed about it. Awesome.

I got to daycare on Monday with the Booger's bag all neatly packed, completely without his sippy cup. Awesome.

The Booger faceplanted himself on the sidewalk. Giving himself Fancy Awesome. (rememeber to let your imaginations run free here, there are a multitude of words that start with "f" to pick from that could express your feelings)

Mr. Jack Awesome attempted to make a very poorly planned, and even more poorly executed left turn. Directly into me. While I was 2 and half hours, 143 miles, away from home. Rendering my car undrivable.

Fancity, fancity, fance, fance awesome!

Awesome.

Really awesome.

really, really, super, awesome

Big Boy!

Just noticed- its been a week! We'll just add blogging to my ever-growing list of things to accomplish. And the pity is, it is something I actually want to do. Pooh. You know things are crazy when you can't even find time for the little things you like to do.

One of our big developments lately has been the purchase and installation of a new carseat for the Booger! We (ok, I) are the parents who plan, think, research, look, wait, think, decide, think, then buy. So we asked a number of people, looked at the different options, checked things out on websites and reviews and chose Cosco's Alpha Omega Elite. I think the one we got was the last of this version, but we actually liked it better than the newer version, because the padding was machine washable. (only to discover this was only after a wrestling match- so it will likely be spot cleaned most of the time, despite my excitement).

Once we chose it- we waited a bit more, because we had coupons. Oh do I love me some coupons! Then, bonus, on top of the coupon, we got another 10 % off for it being the display. The only difference is we didn't get a box (which we would just throw away anyway), or an instruction manual (which I downloaded with minimal searching from the website).

He likes his new seat lots, and enjoys sitting up higher because he can sort of see out the window. Okay, he can only barely see really big trucks when they go by, but he seems excited anyway. He is still tryinng to figure out how to get comfy to doze off, but no other complaints from the Booger or the Mommy and Daddy!
