Will County Fair Rides

You forget how exciting the little rides are until you have a little one to ride with you!

Just had to share...

This was the talk of the day at our house! I noticed on his first day back at daycare that most of the kids have backpacks! I never would have thought that he was ready for it, but as you can see...he definately is. Elmo was the first thing that came to mind because he LOVES Sesame Street! He was all about it this morning but when we left this afternoon he wasn't a fan anymore. He bumped his head on the door while playing with his friends and was to wrapped up in that to care about the backpack. Tomorrow is a new day:)

Everytime the lawnmower is going, Jackson has to see where Jimmy is at! I finally let him go out there while he was mowing and this is what he got to do. He did such a good job helping out:) Jackson is doing a lot of running, roaming, and pointing at everything. He is also going through this "whiney" stage where if hes not babbling, he is whining. Obviously we are counting down the days until thats done! He also says mama, dada, uh oh, and some animal sounds too. Not a lot of words but were loving everything he has said so far. I was worried because he had 8-9 ear infections in the last year but his doctor (and us) think he is hearing just fine. It will all come in time. Our summer is coming to an end so I'm getting sad about that. Jackson starts back at daycare tomorrow while I go to my classroom and make sure I'm ready for my 23 other kids! I'm sure it will be a rough few weeks of adjusting for all of us but we will get through it. Maybe it won't be so bad. I like to assume the worst in this type of situation so that hopefully I'm pleasantly surprised! I try to tell myself that it is much harder on me than it will be on him. That helps too. On a brighter note, it does feel good to be back at work and see all of my friends every day. We have had one of the best summers I can remember with weddings, showers, birthdays, vacations, concerts, family, and friends! And lots of sunshine to top it off! Hope you enjoy our little guy pushing the lawn mower as much as we did:)
