Thanksgiving, Working with Dad, and "Bed Slide"

Here are some random pictures from Thanksgivings at Uncle Charlie's, Jackson helping Daddy fixed the fence in the backyard and the "Bed Slide." About the bed slide - during his "nap" one afternoon earlier this week, Jackson made a bed slide by pushing his matress off and began jumping off the bed and down the "slide." He and daddy played bed slide for a couple of hours that night. When we put him to bed that night, we corrected the bed slide and made it back into a bed. When we went to bed at 11pm, we checked on Jackson and found that he had attempted to make his bed slide again, and had fallen asleep on his cock-eyed bed! We were both amazed at his ability to stay on the bed at that angle! We have video of the bedslide that we hope to post later!

Day at Granddaddy's

Dad and Jackson had a great time at Granddad's and Granddee's the Monday before Thanksgiving. Jackson had been asking to go back to Granddad's house b/c Granddad had set up an old race track that has the little "gun" remotes. Jackson only wants to race against Granddad! Jackson is so in to always doing everything the same way he did it the first time. Therefore, Dad rarely gets to play with the race track. Sorry, no pictures of the race track. After racing, Granddad took Jackson outside to ride the four-wheeler. Jackson was so excited and wanted to take lap after lap after lap after lap. Granddaddy obliged. After some coaxing, Jackson even let his Dad drive him around the yard a few times. Thanks for the pictures Granddee!

baby in mommy's belly

With the new addition to our family coming, Jackson is very excited! He talks often of "the baby in mommy's belly" and says prayers for the baby everyday. While he initially said it will be a sister, he has changed his mind and insists that it will be a little brother. Who knows?!

Jackson has been very understanding about losing his playroom so the baby can have a nursery. He is struggling, however, with not being about to climb, wrestle, and sit all over mommy! He makes up for it by tackling and wrestling with daddy.

So, it seems we need a new name for this blog, as this will now be yet another thing for Jackson to share with the new addition. Any suggestions????
