Big Brother!

Jed is getting so very big!  He will be 2 years old in about 6 weeks (where has the time gone?).  He is truly "all boy."  He loves "bang bangs" (guns), cars, trucks, trains and his workbench.  Everything is turned into a sword and his favorite movie is "How to train your dragon."  He is constantly asking for "dragon movie."  And when we say no, he asks "why?" 

He would sit and listen to books all day.  The problem is he wants the same book over and over and over and over....you get the picture.  I could never read "The Train Book," "Thumpity Thump gets dressed" or "Llama Llama Red Pajama" again and be perfectly okay.

He now knows who Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Bubble Guppies are.  And he asks for them.  Often.

He sleeps in a big boy bed with his Lighting McQueen bedspread.  I have been awakened a few times in the middle of the night with a small pair of eyes peering at me from the side of the bed (talk about a creepy feeling).  But for the most part he does well.

Our next mission will be potty training, but we are going to wait a few more months. 

He is good at climbing, jumping, dancing, playing and saying please.

And he is very good at being a big brother!  He loves Julia and has really never shown any jealousy.  I think he knew in his wise little mind that Julia just needs a little extra attention and he has always been okay with that.  He will say "Jooyeea" and kiss her little head.  He tries to smother her with kisses (and his body) but we usually step in.  He can always get her to smile much faster than we can!  I know that when she gets older she will be thankful to have such a wonderful brother to look after her.

Of course Dad's socks make good gloves!

My new baby sister!
