Jack Thomas Austin: I'm Forty-Five Months Old!!!

March 23, 2010...I am now 3 3/4 years old...getting closer and closer to four! I'm definitely a little boy now! I am still as sweet as can be; shy at times; caring; smart; fast; happy and joyful; curious; cautious; loving; independent; possessive (of all of my toys around Reesey); nurturing; helpful; and occasionally bossy. I have a really good memory and can remember just about anything. Just ask! I love watching "The Busy World of Richard Scarry" and "Little Bear" (yes, I'm back into this show). I usually watch a show when I wake up, while eating my "granola bar" and vitamin. This is my morning routine. I still love playing with Legos and my cars, but my current obsession is, once again, BASEBALL! I live and breathe baseball. If I'm not outside playing baseball, I'm playing inside with my baseball guys, singing "Centerfield", catching a few minutes of a game with Daddy, or reading books with Mommy about baseball. I just can't get enough baseball. Even when I go to Grammy & Grandpa's, I con them into playing baseball with me. Lately, I've been playing baseball outside with Camden and our families after my nap.
I still love being read to, and my current favorite books are nonfiction baseball books (World Series Heroes; The New York Yankees; If I Were a Major League Baseball Player; etc.); any and every Richard Scarry book (Peasant Pig & the Terrible Dragon; Cars & Trucks & Things that Go; The Best Christmas Present Ever; The Best Read-Aloud Stories Ever); nonfiction football books; Jesse Bear books; and recently, I've gotten back into Franklin books. We go to the library regularly to get new books. My favorite things to eat are oranges, Danimals (yogurt), broccoli, sausage/pork/chicken, granola bars (Nutrigrain bars), eggs, cereal (that I get to pick out, currently "Gorilla Munch"), grapes, cantalope, any kind of cracker, and cookies. My favorite songs are "Gorillas in the Jungle", "Flying V", "Centerfield", "I Get Around", and "Go, Cubs, Go!" I still like to be independent. I've been picking out my clothes in the morning...I prefer sweat pants, and Mommy prefers khakis or jeans. I like to buckle my car seat top buckles by myself. I like to put the toothpaste on my toothbrush by myself. I still love my stuffed animals, and I'm currently snuggling up to Pepper (my clover dog), Valentine (my bear in red overalls), Diva Bear, and Baby Cat. I love playing with my airplane set, cars, Legos, and baseball guys; getting anything in the mail; singing; going to school and being with my friends; playing outside; going to the park and for walks in the stroller; reading books with Mommy; playing baseball and football with Daddy; doing crafts; helping Mommy in the kitchen (cooking/baking); going to the library and checking out books; going over to Grammy & Grandpa's; playing with my stuffed animals; eating snacks; chasing Reesey; and being with my family and friends. I still don't like taking baths. Here I am today...
