Like a Spaceship

After two summers Jack decided this week that going underwater isn't so bad.  From out of nowhere he just started jumping off the pool step and dunking his head entirely under water.

Today we braved the next step..... letting Daddy throw him "like a spaceship" up in the air.


 Countdown to launch.

 "Oh boy, here we go!"

 We have lift off!!

 Look at that spaceship fly.

 And check out that full dunk!

 He definitely wasn't too sure about that.  However, with a little mom persuasion (i.e. bribing) we got ready for round 2.


 "I can't believe I'm letting him do this again."

 Good form.......

 Oh, but he gets a deduction for not keeping his legs together.

SPLASH


Jackisms

Jack has been saying some pretty interesting things lately. Here are some of the highlights that will make you smile:

1. Mom: "What did you do at school today?"
    Jack: "Some pretty cool stuff. You wouldn't understand."

2. (In the bathroom) "Dad, guess what the toilet told my penis? Hey, you sank my battleship!"

3. "Mom, seriously?!?"

4. (On his way out the door)
    Mom: "Jack, where are you going?"
    Jack: "I'm gonna change the world with my Thneed!" (Dr. Seuss)

5. Jack: "I played with a girl named Sociana at school today."
    Granddaddy: "Oh yeah, is she hot?"
    Jack: "Yeah, her hair gets all sweaty when she's at recess."

Bob

Nathan has started to pick up a few words now and can say a lot of the basics you would expect like: Dad, Jack, dog, cat- even Auntie from when Auntie T.C. visited! The one word that is strangely missing from his current vocabulary: Mom. He refuses to say "Mom" and it is driving Amy crazy!!! Where this gets funny, though, is that somewhere along the line he got a little confused and started calling her "Bob." And it has stuck. Jack finds this to be hysterical and encourages the use of Bob as much as possible. Bob is not a fan.

Love,
Ryan, Bob, Jack and Nathan
