A Warm (er) Day

Today was the first day I felt like being outside without having to hassle with the coats and hats and boots and zippers and right fingers in the right holes of the gloves. To celebrate, we took Jacks Christmas gift, a big boy bike outside for a spin. Until now it's wheels have only had to maneuver around our walls, kitchen chairs, and our coffee table. We decided it was time to try it out on the cement. It is a tricky thing to help pedal his little feet all the while steering the handle bars. But, after a few attempts, I think we may have gotten the hang of it.

Yahoo! (I mean that as a joyful expression and not the site)

Thanks to melinda, I have now gone to audio! Wow! What a cool thing this is, and I must thank Jack for taking a super nap today in which I had time to dink around with this. We wont mention the state of my house however.

"Girls dont have penises"

We have been working on potty training, so with that has come a lot of talk about Jacks penis. When Jack asked Mama the other day "where did your penis go?" we had to discuss that only boys have penises. When Jack wanted to go pee in the girls bathroom with his memaw instead of the boys bathroom with daddy, Bapa gave jack a long talk about why boys pee in the mens room and girls in the girls room. Needless to say Jack has been hearing a lot about boys and penises.

This is the background needed to understand his remarks at church yesterday.

Russell took Jack to church while Mama was at work. While waiting in the hall for Sacrament to finish Jack was entertaining a bunch of young adults waiting in the foyer. Just before it was time to go into the room, a teenage girl waked by Jack and said "hello" as jack took her ninja stance against her,(arms up in defense, wide stance and a brutal look on his face) he does this somethimes, we dont know why. As she walked further down the hall, Jack in a very lound voice proclaims "thats not a girl, thats a boy!" Then Speaking very loudly repeats this a couple times. By now the young adults are already snickering. Then Jack yells out...."Girls dont have penises!" And the yound adults cannot hold in their snickers and turn to full out hysteria. All Russell can do is reply "Your right", and try to turn too red.

The Cruise

We spent the First couple of days of February on a cruise. We left from Miami and stopped in Key West and then Cozumel. Jack had a good time, especially when he met a real pirate in Key West named Timothy Stitches.

I dont think that i woudl ever take a small climbing child on another cruise however. Jack was fearless and when we told him that if he climbed over the side and fell in the water the sharks would eat him, he wat replyed that he would fight the sharks.

I'm still learning
