Jack @ 5 years, 3 Months

We got some hand-me-downs from Mark’s brother recently, among which were some nice dress clothes and a few ties. Jack enjoyed wearing a dress shirt a tie like Daddy to church this morning.

Jack has become interested in making his own meals, and on nights when I don’t have anything specific planned for dinner, I’ve been giving him the freedom to choose whatever he wants to make. I thought he’d choose chips, hot dogs, etc., but the first meal he made, he chose leftover meatloaf, broccoli and pinto beans! He’s proud to be able to do for himself (for the most part) and wants to cook for everyone else too. I’m crossing my fingers that he’s got Mark’s savant-like gift for cooking.
