I love the fact that Jack still gets excited every time he sees a train. He loves to run errands with me and inevitably we will see a train. His little face lights up and he starts counting the cars which is so adorable since he can only count to ten and even then he gets the numbers mixed up! When was the last time you got excited to see a train?

Last night we took the family to see Tim in his play. My kids are theater kids which means I have set through some really long, boring, and just plain awful plays. At times it is painful to sit there and listen to wrong notes and mumbled speeches. That all disappears as your child comes on stage and you see them singing and dancing and having a great time. Tim has a couple small solos in this production and I never wanted them to end. I love, love, love hearing him sing. Jack really enjoyed the play but the last thirty minutes he was literally coming undone sitting there. Doug was sitting next to him and told me he thought he was going to explode. Then when we went into the lobby to greet the young actors Jack was just running, jumping, talking, and basically going nuts. It was like watching one of those wind up toys. After we got home some friends stopped by and we all had ice cream which made Jack even more hyper. Needless to say it was a long night and took forever to get him settled down enough to go to bed.
