The Bowling THREE: puppy pooped on me elmo book

That's right. Puppy (Lucy) did pooped on Jack's Elmo book. We had a long 4 weeks with Lucy and in the end we had to give her back to the pound. Not only did my sanity become a problem with a 2.5 year old and a puppy, but Jack's asthma was getting worse and it started when we got the puppy. So, without spending a bizillion dollars getting tested for allergies, we decided it would be best to take her back to the pound. It was very sad and I bawled my eyes out. It didn't help that Jack was constantly feeding the dog (ie; guacamole pringles) so Lucy was having some poopy issues.........all over ELMO!!!

So my sanity is much better now and we are all less stressed out and Jack didn't seem to be affected by her leaving at all.

Onto JACK updates.

DaDaDaDa.....HE'S 26 POUNDS!!!! YAYAYAYAY!!!! That's a HUGE weight gain for him. He has an appointment with the lung doctor in Indy on Friday and I really hope he is pleased with the gain. I am sure he will be!!!

We all had a great 4th of July. This was the first year Jack saw fireworks and we knew he was either going to love them or hate them. HE LOVED THEM!!! We went to a cookout with Matt's brother and Jack stayed awake until almost midnight and he watched them in the sky. We saw "popcorn" ones and boooo and lellow and wed and pink. He did great. He slept til 9 the next morning and we all took a 3.5 hour nap. PERFECT!!!

Then it was daddy's birthday. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY DADDY!!! We slept all day (haha) and then went to dinner with some family and friends and then poor daddy had to work 3rd shift. ICKY!!!!

Jack and Daddy on his birthday!!!

In more news, we just found out Jack will be starting the "preschool" part of his daycare on August 25. I can't believe he is closer to 3 than 2. WOW!!! Where has time gone. It's so fun to listen to him and watch him d something new everyday. And he is getting so gullible and smart all at the same time. Like tonight, Jack did the thumb trick where it looks like you take the end of your thumb off and he totally fell for it and he was very worried. Then Matt did the same thing to his bellybutton. Acted like he took off his belly button and put it in Jack's hand and shut his hand and Jack was freaking out and wanted it back on his belly. It's so cute!!!! Then of course, he wanted to take mommy and daddy's buttons off!!!

Here are some pictures from the past week or so.

Jack thinking mommy is funny for a minute. HA!
