Twice in the last week the howling coyotes on our hill have woken me. Their howls are loud and spooky. On Wednesday morning sometime around 3:00 a.m., either the coyotes or Winston's responding bark woke Jack, and he had a really hard time going back to sleep. In fact, he was up for the day at 5:30. Jack is usually a 7:30 or 8:00 riser. Needless to say, he had a serious case of the grumps. Luckily, I was able to talk him into a nap.
As a reward, I let him open one of the boxes the mailman dropped off this week in anticipation of Jack's 3rd birthday. Out hopped Max and Ruby. They must have jumped right into Jack's heart because he has barely put them down since. For the past two days, they have ridden in the car with us, eaten dinner with us, played with toys, and everything else Jack's imagination comes up with. It's been really fun watching him pretend he is these characters.
Jack looks so grown up in that top picture. Such a handsome guy.
