he's a grown dinosaur now...

Jackson's love for dinosaurs doesn't seem to be fading.
He informed me that he's going to be a "Palee-un-tologist"...
I overheard this as he was playing with his dinos:
"He's a grown dinosaur, so it's time for him to get a job."

his smile shines like the sun

tmnt

jackson has become completely obsessed with the teenage mutant ninja turtles, thanks to a dvd sent by an old friend. he spends his days now playing with 80's styled Ninja Turtle toys and repeating dated phrases from the Ninja Turtles cartoon. i'm accustomed to hearing "dude" and "shredder". the pinnacle was hearing this bloodthirsty battlecry from his room: "TURTLES FIGHT WITH HONOR!!!"

bowling fun

jackson tried his hand at bowling the other day and just loved it.
it was so hard for him to wait his turn! he wanted Cousin Michael
to help him every time. it was all fun and games until he picked
up a 15 lb. ball and dropped it on my friend Holly's foot. that's when the party
was OVER.
