Tooth #2 out! Must have been wobbly during soccer warm ups because he came over to me with his jaw stuck out. I asked if he wanted me to pull it, so I did. He was pretty excited and made sure to tell everyone. 

I noticed Reid had a tooth break through. He has been gumming his hands and toes and my hands and has had a tiny bit of drool but no big problem luckily. 

I am running my first post partum 10k tomorrow. This same weekend two years ago, I ran a half marathon and jack was born a month later than Reid. And I'm no shape to race 5 miles even but the company will make it worth it.  Then the Halloween week of decadence begins and the election is ten days away. Bring it on.  

I woke up like this. 

He also started saying mommy instead of mama. :(  same with dada and bobba. 

I am a big proponent of using the right words for things but I see now why some parents don't correct their kids. For W, jack says, dubada and it's adorable. And he calls zebras zeebee. But even those he's starting to correct on his own. His language has exploded, like it's been in there all along... 

It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.

Or so goes a tale of two jacks. He is an absolute trip. He makes me smile so much because he's so silly and sweet and he's pretty manageable, until he isn't. I know I've been saying it for months but he knows all his letters and will stop and read anything and everything. Now he knows lowercase too. And the alphabet song in order. He actually never shuts up. He call d and p all b but close enough. And this a, he calls a 6 because every other a he sees on books is just a circle and line. Speaking of six, he gets a huge kick out of turning books upside down and saying 6, 9, 6 and so on. Same with 8. 

I wanted to vent about his tamtrums because dear baby Jesus are they bad and completely irrational. But he's asleep now so I'll leave it at that. We've had a few good days or at least I have selective memory. 

We did turn the crib into a toddler bed so that saves him the trouble of climbing in and out at least. He really really fights nap and bedtime but the new bed has a little novelty to it for now at least. He falls asleep easily if I sit in the room with him but that's not always a luxury I have. He has also been waking up in the middle of the night for no reason but a cuddle. And he doesn't eat anything. So much for not bitching about him. 

School is going well for bobby. Sometimes are aren't enough hours in the day though. He is getting over a bad ear infection. Developed from a bad cold that he no doubt got at school. He has another loose tooth. He is really good at reading and calls me out if I try to paraphrase a book we're reading even of it's above his skill level, he seems to know. 

Reid is adorable and a good baby. That's about all to report on him. 

Mark it down.

Big kid now. 

First tooth fell out! 5y, 4m. He said the principal pulled it out. Someone did apparently.
