A new milestone for Jack

At the risk of embarrassing Jack when he's older, I'll let you in on his latest milestone. Yesterday he called me at school to let me know he'd finally overcome a fear he'd been avoiding for some time now. He went number two on his stool.

We'd promised him a party for the day he did it. So, we took him to Dollar General to pick out a couple new Hot Wheels cars, then we all ate at McDonalds where he enjoyed a happy meal and playing with his new cars.

He attended an ACT Ottawa meeting with me later in the evening. He was a very good boy. Leo has a tooth coming in on the bottom and is still sweet. He's a big boy, too. Bigger than Jack was at the same age. Marian is healthy and doing well. She's a great wife and the kids are lucky to have her for a mom. She's great. We're all blessed, overflowingly.
