Emma Sings

What Exactly Are You Trying To Say, Jack?

It's a What?

Jack brought home a handmade craft from school. I wasn't quite sure what it was. So I asked him.


I listened to his lengthy response. And then we decided we needed to make a movie about it. You'd better get some popcorn.

Jealousy

This is Jack's whiteboard drawing of a coral reef. You might correctly surmise that he has been learning about ocean life at school. Jim and I were really impressed with the detail of the drawing. We told Jack so with lots of enthusiasm. We told him so... in front of Emma.

I wanted to take a picture of the drawing.

See the hammerhead shark? The coral? The pufferfish, sea urchin, and blue whale? Pretty neat, Jack! Note: This was the final photograph I took.

But...

earlier shots went like this:

"Want to take a picture of me, Mom?"

"Mom, look at me."

"Mom."

"MOM."

"Do you see me, Mom?"

Fishing is Good

Fishing is good.

It's just me and nature.

A boy, like me, can get good and lost in his thoughts...


And possibly rope Grandpa into ridiculous purchases at the giftshop.

Untitled

There's a frog on our window. That's all I wanted to say.

Jack's "Space"

As promised, here is the reveal of Jack's Outer Space room. He is so very proud of it... and I am too!

Very grown-up and sophisticated. New big bed. Love the dark blue paint that makes it feel so warm.

Here are a few additions to Emma's room as well. The inspiration for the room, below.
