2008 ended with a New Year's Eve snowstorm! Jack was more than ready to help shovel, but after about, oh, 10 minutes, had had enough and came inside to get warm.
Jack brought home a bird feeder than he made at school. Not many birds have been too interested (and Jack hasn't been too happy about it) but finally one was hungry enough to land on it and check it out. Jack was over the moon!
Everyday Jack asks me two questions when he wakes up: 1 - Is it Christmas? and 2 - Am I five? Today instead of hearing "not yet" to both questions, I was able to tell him that even though today wasn't Christmas, it was his Christmas party at school! He was very excited and came home looking like the cutest elf (correction - reindeer!) I have ever seen (I especially love the frosting still on his mouth)! Less than a week to go now and then we'll be back to one question.... I hope!
