John is Making Huge Strides!

John has had a wonderful week!  With all of this heat, we have been spending a bunch of time inside, even though we don't have air.  We have a very old air conditioning unit in Ryan and I's bedroom- it does make the air cold, it just doesn't take the humidity out of the air efficiently.  We have been having big slumber parties in our room.  We have John on a mattress at the end of the bed and SJ in a pack-n-play right nex tto John at the end of the bed.  It has meant earlier wake ups (as early as 5:30) but more quality sleep! :)

John has been doing a lot of "fixing" with his tool set.  He has a set of tools at home, and one at Nana's.  At home he is always working on the door frame, hammering, sawing and more hammering!  At Jana's he has been working on a couple chairs.  He also pounded golf tees into a wine box.  Today, we were taking a diaper break- he was wearing just a tee-shirt.  Ryan and I were rolling on the floor laughing when we turned around to see John was wearing a tool belt, safety goggles and a naked bum.  So cute, and funny!

Another cute (and naughty!) story about John and his daddy having a bonding moment....
Ryan and John were standing in Jana and Steve's kitchen.  Ryan looks over to John and says, "John! 1, 2, 3"- (and he toots!)  John looked up to his dad and says, "3, 4!" and squeaked one out too.  UFTA! I have my work cut out -  I am not a supporter of these kind of teachings.  However, I loved the bond you could see in their eyes.

Tonight, John helped Ryan cut the grass. He followed right behind him with his own little mower.  It was so sweet!  I love seeing John look up to his dad and want to be just like him.  I hope Ryan will always be his hero.  XO
