Jackaboy

Hannah's nickname for Jack is "Jackaboy." She came up with that herself. I think it originated in her former penchant for classifying everything as a boy or a girl. Maybe "Jack is a boy" became "Jackaboy" in her mind? Remember how one of the reasons I wanted to shorten Jack's name to Jack instead of Josh was because I didn't want him to go by "Josh Boy"? Somehow it's cute when Hannah calls him Jackaboy though.
Here is Jack prepping for his new endeavor: climbing the stairs. So far he can only make it up to the second step, but he is determined and focused so maybe he'll be heading all the way up (eek) soon.

Side note, and yes, I'm still fascinated by this: the kids are wearing essentially the same size clothes now. Jack's summer clothes are size 24 month (and fit him well, with not too much room to grow) and Hannah's summer clothes are size 2T. Is that crazy or what????

I'm afraid we chickened out when our son took an interest in the stairs and bought a safety gate. The house we lived in before our current home had the staircase in the living room and I felt like I was spending all day following him up the stairs. My daughter is a real daredevil, so I'm glad we still have the gate!

I love that Jack looks so pleased with himself!

Kind regards,
Paula

Jackaboy has the best grin!
Ya know, my Madi and Jack were 23mos apart and for a couple of years wore the same size too! Jack was huge and Madi was petite. He eventually passed her and wore bigger clothes than her for a bit! LOL! So don't be surprised if it happens! Madi has since taken the lead back (b/c she is so tall) but Jack is trying very hard to outgrow her! lol
