These are pictures from Jack's third birthday party to celebrate his 2nd birthday. Poor little guy, nobody loves him. Nobody buys him any presents.

Let's just pretend these are new pictures. They may not be new but they are never before published... (Thanks Gainesy for the shots from July!!)

I keep holding off on writing another blog entry because I keep hoping there's a small part of me that's a good mother who would get additional pictures developed. Not happening, apparently.
I guess the only way my son's life will be documented is if a family member/ friend/neighbor/stranger takes a shot of him. Looking back, 99 percent of the pictures on JWJ are those that did not come from us.
Jack continues to be obsessed with Lion King. At my house we never dare to actually say "Lion King" instead only referring to it as "LK." Unfortunately, Jack also continues to favor Scar the mean uncle who spends the entire movie plotting the deaths of his family. So, what does this say about my cornsilk boy? Not really sure.
Do I dare Google such behavior or check WebMD?
Don't get me wrong: He's not plotting the demise of any family members. But he does roar at you when he's not happy. He roars at bugs when they get too close and he roars at the stupid kid in his class who continuously gets in the way. (That last one I would do to. The kid is the worst!)
So -- at the advice of Ma -- we've restricted him from the movie. As far as he knows Lion King is night-night. Good thing we bought him the movie, and its sequel for his 2nd birthday.
Now instead we've been watching Nemo. (This makes it sound like all the kid does is watch movies which is not true. He watches maybe one a day so he has to choose wisely.) Finding Nemo is a great movie. The graphics are phenomenal and the plot is cute. Additionally, it's much less violent than LK. Dori the fish (Ellen) is hilarious. But you watch anything for weeks at a time, it starts to get old.
I was thinking I would take him the to video store tonight. It is Friday afterall and that's what every suburban mom does on Friday... after visiting WalMart, of course. The only problem is, as soon as we pull into the place, he starts screaming for Simba and the gang. I try to let him pick his own movies which often backfires ... last time he got the most low-budget Curious George episode I had ever seen. It bordered on scary weird.
I am confident my weekend will wrap up to include stupid/freaky kids programming on the main TV and Tigers baseball on the Baseball TV. Yup, that's right. We have a TV designated for Tigers baseball only. Mr. Unmechanical-can't-fix-things-around-the-house was somehow able to jimmy the cable to allow programming on two television sets. Both TVs are currently sitting in our entertainment system.
As my brother and Husband say, "It's a magical summer."
Yeah, real frickin' magical. I got baseball and kids programming to look forward to -- yipee!
All of the sudden a shopping trip to Walmart seems like a good option.

This weekend kicks off Jack's third and final (hopefully!) party to celebrate his birth. Last weekend we had a little pool party with his cousins and my friends. He's not super keen on swimming. So we spent much of the VERY HOT day playing t-ball which he shared quite well with his cousins. Then presents, then cake, then LION KING again!!
Last week was insane with a wedding of two really close/great friends and a visit from a LA buddy. The wedding went off without a hitch and was gorgeous. The pair are spending the week in the Mayan Riveria. Little bit jealious.
LA Man continues to surprise and intrigue Jack with his book selection. Last year's Richard Scarry book continues to be Jack's No. 1. This year, he shared with Jack a story about meatballs falling out of the sky and a Zen Panda. I am excited for Jack to continue his love for books. So I guess he'll be a car-loving, sports-loving, bookworm. It's possible.
