there has been an incident


The other day at daycare, Jack was reaching for the table to stand up and he missed, hitting the right side of his face against the corner of the table. He had a pretty good cut above his eye and the school called me to come and take him to the doctor. The doctor checked him out, saw that there was no eye damage or concussion and glued the wound shut which took about 3 seconds to do.
Jack is recovering just fine. 
Jack has taken to putting things together that fit. He likes putting lids on containers and then taking them off again, and putting things inside of other things and then taking them out. He gets very frustrated when he can't get them back out. 

Jack's teacher gave the parents a monthly newsletter from the classroom. I won't type out the whole thing, but she writes that the children have formed friendships, that Jack and his friend Olu are master crawlers and that the kids show tenderness and care for one another. And quote, "Olu also looks for any opportunity to hold Jack S. and kiss him."
how sweet is that?
From Wednesday's daily intake:
Jack really enjoyed going outside today, he also loved playing in the sandbox. He was also tempted to put the sand in his mouth.

Monday we leave for a week in Little Rock, Arkansas. I have been telling Jack that he is going to meet his cousins for the first time, although he has not fully grasped what this means, I'm sure he is excited.
