Mr. J

 My poser of all posers!!!  He loves the camera a little too much!  But he is a handsome devil isn't he?

 Mr. J loves to dance like crazy to music and sing songs with his "rock guitar"!  He often serenades me with his music while doing the dishes or laundry.  He loves to sneak up on me after i have changed baby sisters diaper and sneak the old diaper to throw away.  I try to surprise him and catch him too and he just laughs and loves it!  We call his the "Sneaky diaper snatcher" and the "wiper swiper".  He thinks he is so sneaking when doing it too and I love it because i don't have to run it to the garbage!

 His eczema has improved quite a bit but he still itches like crazy.  He seems to get sick pretty easy too.  But we try our hardest to keep him healthy and busy.  He must stay busy or he gets into trouble.  Not bad trouble...just messy trouble.  Like it takes me days to undo what he does kind of trouble!  ;-) 

So, in an effort to keep this little guy busy.  He loves "craft time".  So we do fingerpaints, play-doh, holiday crafts etc.  His favorite is play-doh.  He will play with it for hours.  He can write his letter J for his name, we are working on the rest.  He almost has the alphabet song down...he had so many letters mixed up that we are starting over on that one.  He is struggling with two letters in it, but almost has it down.  I feel bad... i have neglected him in his learning.  My other boys by this age his their names, age, and whole alphabet down.  But i just haven't spent the time with him that i should.  So we are trying to make up time.  

He wanted to go to school so bad this year.  I was actually thinking about it this time, because we were in a place we could pay for...but the only lady out here who did preschool ended up moving.  So, there is not one here and it's just too hard to drive into town that much.  So, we are trying to do our own "preschool" together when Baby Sis goes down for a nap.    

He loves to think he can play the piano.  He can play mary had a little lamb and knows where middle c is.  He loves singing too and is pretty good with his pitch.  He keeps asking me when he will be big enough to play sports and go to school and i keep telling him, one more year buddy...one more year.  ;-)
