He is so full of personality and I absolutely LOVE it! He is always making us bust up laughing. He loves to put on a show and be the center of attention. When a lot of people start laughing at what he does/say he'll do/say it again and laugh at himself with his "fake" laugh! ADORABLE!
This little mans hair grows so stinkin fast I can barely keep up! So once again he got a new cut! I tried to let it grow as long as I could stand it but really it needed it! :: BEFORE::
Let's see:: Lately::
Jaerick is so smart he loves showing his grandparents all he can do. He'll recite his ABC's
He'll tell you what they all say (in order or out of order)
His favorite thing to do to show his smarts is:: my mom has an etch a sketch ( I'm pretty sure that's what its called) and he has my mom or dad write a letter and he'll tell them what it is and what it says then he'll start laughing like see I'm amazing! lol
He also loves counting:: 2 ways
#1 He loves to tell you 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.... and only sometimes does he even remember 10!
#2 K Hide I count then he says 1...3...2...1...2...3..4..5...6..8..9... I coming! lol I love it every time!
** Funny Story!:: My mom has to stay in bed most of the time because of medical reasons. Well one day Jaerick and I went over to visit her ( so I could play on pinterest! lol) and he was hanging out with her they were talking about all the animals and what they said and such then he said he wanted to hide. So h pulls the blanket over his face and says K count! So she counts and finds him. Then he says ( what she thinks is) K ga-ma U Cow.... She says Okay MOOOOOOOOO! ( Imagine my mom Mooing at this point! lol) Then Jaer stops everything gives her a "you're weird" look and says to him self with a very confused look on his face "I say Count She says MOO? Not right!" LOL My mom and I could not stop laughing it was so adorable! He thought she was crazy!
As far as the Terrible Two's go::
Jaerick is really a good easy little boy. I think he wants more kids to play with and needs more interaction with other kids because there really aren't any where we live. But besides that he gets bored. I am going to try and be more "out there" and make friends and set up play dates but I'm just so shy for some reason it never happens. I feel bad for him cuz its totally my fault. But I guess live and learn I'll get there ;o) The second he turns three I'll put him in pre school so he'll make friends there! Hopefully he doesn't get my shy streak when it comes to that!
Besides that he really is a terrible two as much as I expect any kid is. He is really into testing me and the limits. I am very strict on time out and I've found it to work wonders with him. IF:: I follow my rules of time out EXACT! Now obviously I'm not perfect so when I start to sway from those rules ( which I do ) he knows it and jumps in for the chance at testing me and the rules. If I'm feeling particularly impatient at the time then I tend to Say Jaerick do you wanna try one more time to show me you can listen... and if I'm not patient I SAY 1... 2.... 3!!! JAERICK TIMOTHY! Get it Time Out right now! yes I know I sound mean ;o) He still loves me though so I guess its okay!
He does test me and will wait until I get to three on days he's being extra stubborn but most of the time its 1... and he's gone doing what I said or whatever the reason I was counting.
He is not really a picky eater. He likes Peabutter and "Ga-mas jelly" Sa- wich ..Tims mom gave us a jar once and that all he'll eat now!!! Its kind of adorable and she keeps it coming so it works. Except one time she gave us a new type and he tried a bite and said " No, Ga-ma can haf it back" He cracks me up!
For the last few weeks or even a week or two he's been very clingy and baby-ish to me. He wants to cuddle extra and be right by my side. He is fine if I leave him somewhere. Its just if he's with me he wants to be right by me or on my lap or in my arms. Its kind of weird but my grandpa hasn't been doing well so I think maybe he can sense somethings been wrong. Not quite sure but I'm thinking it'll pass.
Most adorable thing I need to remember::
After we have dinner Tim and Jaerick normally watch T.V as I take care of the kitchen or do whatever I need to. So Jaerick is used to this routine and now the second he puts his plate in the sink he says " Dad wanna watch T.B.?" It is so cute then Tim says ya lets go. And every time he just climbs into his recliner and lays back while Tim is on the couch and they watch Football or racing! Its pretty much a perfect moment I get to see and hear almost every night! I LOVE my BOYS!
One more funny::
This just proves I can't truly say he's going through terrible two's. But when Jaerick gets moody or whiny I just tell him stop it and talk to me when he's better and I'll see if I can help. Well the last 2- 2 1/2 weeks when he gets that way where he knows its not an okay way to act he'll come to me and say "mama I needa go to bed. I Ti- ERD" and I'll say okay and he will go in his room. Sometimes he lays down, sometimes he just sits in there but after a few minutes he'll come out and start playing again. He says All better and is back to his happy self. Its SO funny to me! It's like he knows he needs a moment and so he takes it. I'm just hoping this one sticks!
I just have to say after my way long post! I am so gratefull to be his mommy! He is everything to me and I just hope that when I look back I can see I did my best and I didn't miss out on too many of those little things that makes being a mom SO perfect!
what a funny kid he is! he sounds smart too!! and your a wonderful mother to him for sure!
