Although he’s not exactly dressed like a farmer haha
Excuses, excuses
Me: “Alright, let’s go for a walk.”
Jackson: “I wish I could, but my flashlight is downstairs.”
Thanks, but no thanks
Jackson: “I’m getting pretty hungry.”
Me: “I brought you a bagel.”
Jackson: “That’s nice! But what else do you have…”
Turn it off, turn it off!
Jackson is watching Little Baby Bum, a nursery rhyme show, and I swear it’s making me SO nauseous! That’s pretty much all we did all day last year during the first trimester so apparently these songs are a trigger now…🤢🤢🤢
Daylight savings
Jackson had already been waking up at 5:30 am — which, now, after the time change, is 4:30 am.
BRUTAL!!!!
There must be some sort of 3 year sleep regression. First he stopped napping (for the most part), and then he started waking up earlier and earlier and earlier.
This kid needs to sleep!
More official portraits
I also realized I did not have any of all the dinosaurs together. I gave up on the idea of a full family photo, but I did try to get some of Jackson, Beckham and Luc together. Let me tell you, that is not an easy feat! A little bribing with Halloween candy finally did the trick.
Weeeeee!
Me, as Jackson started to roll Beckham over: “We have to be careful still.”
Jackson: “OK, I’ll roll gently.”
Official portraits
I realized I never got any full-body shots of Jackson in his costume so I had him put it back on for pictures on the porch. (Two days after Halloween, of course!)
Dinosaur egg hunt
This is how I convinced Jackson to put his costume back on so I could get more pics — an egg hunt! I hid the dinosaur egg from his costume somewhere in the backyard, and then he and Luc went on an expedition to find it.
