Jack Williams and Jack Graham - Great friends

These are a few pictures of the kids and friends hanging out. They are growing so fast. Jack started Pre-School for his 2nd year and he has enjoyed it. He came home the first day at his new school and said he was bored at school because they didn't do as many activities or learn anything new like at his old school. He said the teacher just did "DULT Stuff" aka "adult stuff" like writing. I told him to give it a few days and it would probably get better. He is so funny and I love that right now he loves to do crafts and learn. His latest verbiage is to tell someone on the phone he has to go because he is "tired and out of breath talking to them." It makes me giggle. He went to the dentist and got great results. He loved everything about it especially the X-Ray and dental floss he got at the end. LOL He was definitely explaining to the Hygienist what she was right and wrong about on his x-ray pictures. Jack is VERY into puzzles right now. He can put together a 60 piece puzzle all on his own. It is amazing to watch him and he is so proud after. Too funny. Jack is a great big brother and his little sister is still his biggest fan. Claire loves him so much she cries and says his name over and over when we drop him off at school. She asks for him until he gets home and she races to the door to go and pick him up. If she gets hurt she wants Jack and she tells him she loves him and kisses him on her own very often. She has pooped in the potty all on her own. I am not potty training her at all at this point but she has decided she loves going to the potty when Jack goes. The first time she did it I felt so bad for her bc since she so often sits at the potty when he is in there for fun- none of us noticed the poop until about 5 minutes later. She just looked at me when I told her what a great job it was- like Yeah so? She is my little angel and she is growing up every day! She climbed out of her crib a few days ago and when I watched her later she mastered getting out in less than 2 seconds. So for the past 2 days she has been in a toddler bed. I hate it! She is my child that has decided to do everything fast on her own and I want her to stay a baby bc she is mine! The first night we didn't have time to put up her toddler bed so she slept on the floor on her mattress. She is such a stinker and keeps me on my toes. She can climb up the rock wall on our swing set all by herself. She also refuses for me to help her. She also likes to swing on the big kid swings and won't go on the baby swings. They are keeping me busy as you can see! Someone make them stop growing!
