The dog is holding a tennis ball that Jack has decided he wants. She is so good and puts up with little fingers in her eyes and ears and nose and pulling on her mouth without any protest. Jack apparently had this little setup in mind yesterday as he directed me to get his pillow and his frog out of the playpen, then asked for milk. While I was getting his milk he went and got himself a book and met me back at the pillow. It's like he set up a little baby lazy boy.
He tries to "help" when I am cleaning up. He saw this little broom at Target one day and was quite taken with it. It was only $.99 so I bought it for him. It's pretty funny to see what he thinks needs sweeping.
The dishwasher is his favorite part of the kitchen. If the door is down, he is generally trying to climb inside. (and he's fast! I hope the door holds up!)My mom got Jack this little wading pool last year, but I was too chicken to use it when he was so little. We got it out last week and he had a great time. He wasn't really into sitting in it, but he liked to put things in the water and splash. We'll have to try again when it gets warm again and I can let the water heat up a bit in the sun first...I think the main issue was that the water was just too cold.
This is Jack's latest "trick". He walks around all day making this sound. He doesn't do it great for the camera (as usual, he just wants to play with the camera), but you get the general idea.
