Funny Stories

Lately I feel like all I blog about is Finn and how frustrated I am. I'm happy to report that Finn has been sleeping through the night since Wednesday last week and I now know for CERTAIN that he does not need to eat in the middle of the night. Praise the Lord! I can't even begin to describe how wonderful it feels to be sleeping again. I have more patience, I have more energy, I have a whole new outlook on life. ha. So anyway, I feel like I've left Jack out of the blog for a while and he's been doing/saying some pretty hilarious things that I wanted to document:



  • The other week Jack started talking about Bobby. At first we thought he was saying buddy, but no it was Bobby. He would laugh hysterically when he said Bobby and talked about him. Tom and I dismissed it, but then when Jack kept bringing him up - we were like, ok - who IS Bobby??? So I started to ask Jack questions. Is Bobby your friend Jack? OK! he would say. Ummmm.....Is Bobby a boy?? Bobby a mouse Jack responded. I panicked. We just had a dead mouse on our patio that week and was thinking that possibly Jack had made friends with another mouse that might have been living in our house. ummm.....Jack, where does Bobby live? Bobby live in Jack's room! ummmm...... HA HA! This went on for a few days until finally Tom was changing Jack's diaper in his room and Jack proclaimed BOBBY!!!!!! And he pointed to his Huggies box of diapers.  This confuses me because Jack knows who Mickey Mouse is. Maybe he thinks Minnie Mouse is Bobby? We have no clue. But I'm happy to report that Bobby is not imaginary and we do not have a mouse living in our house.
  • Jack knows that Tom is at the office for work every day. He always asks for him, but I just tell him Daddy is at the office. When he begs to go to Grandma and Grandpa's house during the day, I tell him they are at their offices too. The other night Tom was putting Jack to bed (When Tom is home for bedtime, Jack INSISTS on having Tom put him to bed, which I am A.O.K with) and Jack was mad at Tom because he wouldn't put different PJs on Jack. So Jack started screaming, Daddy go to office, Daddy go to office! hahaha. My mom also said that when she was babysitting a few weeks ago after she put Jack to bed, he was yelling in his crib, Nanna go home. Nanna go home. HAHAHA. Sad.
  • Jack repeats EVERYTHING he hears. One thing I have noticed is that I say God WAY too much. It's sad because I never really noticed it until my 2 year old started saying it every time I did. The other day, Tom did something or said something and I said "God Tom!!!" and for the next 5 minutes all that came out of Jack's mouth was God Tom, God Tom, God Tom! It was one of those situations where I couldn't help but bust out laughing. I'm getting better at it, but bad habits are sure hard to break!
  • The other day Jack put on a pair of my heels and comes click clacking into the kitchen. He goes, "Let's go to Ruby's house!" haha. Ruby is my God Daughter and we spend an awful lot of time at the Blair household, but Kelly and Chuck were in Mexico last week and I think Jack was missing Ruby. haha. Why he had to put heels on before he told me this was beyond me. 
  • This video speaks for itself

So there you have it. I love my toddler. He is so entertaining. The times when he is naughty or whiney, which is more often than not, are super hard. But the good times are oh so good.
