So many things to tell

Oh, my beautiful life!
I have so much to write about!
1st-Jackson had his first snow day last week! he was so excited.  He got to go to Cousin Alexandra's house for the day.  They had a great time.  TJ picked him up around noon, and then he shoveled some snow (by choice).

2nd-Jackson had his first school Valentine's party. Also very fun.  Nana Connie got to attend.

3rd-Jackson had his first basketball game.  He loves it. As I have mentioned before, Jax loves to play basketball.  He can not make it a day without it.  Inside, Outside, it doesn't really matter.

4th-Cole and Jackson collided one evening this week, and Cole would not walk afterward!  TJ called me at work, concerned because everytime he would set Cole down, he would not put any weight on his legs.  I freaked out, of course, worried he may have hurt his back, or broken a bone in his lower leg.  TJ bribed Cole into walking a little ways, and then gave him ibuprofen, and put him to bed.  The next morning, he had a nasty bruise on his inner thigh close to his knee.

5th-Cole does not like to stop at stoplights.  The minute we stop, he says, "Go!"  He does not want to wait. The same goes for stop signs, and anytime you have to stop behind another vehicle.  A patient one, he is!

6th-Cole has started giving the most adorable kisses. he used to just kiss you, but now he says a big loud "MMMAAA" when he kisses. SO adorable.

7th-Cole and Jackson love to give each other hugs at bedtime.  Cole will not go to bed without first hugging Jackson.  They may fight sometimes, but I love to see how they are becoming such great playmates, and how much they like to be around each other.  Cole thinks Jax hung the moon, and Jax is always surprising me by doing something sweet for Cole or comforting him when he is hurt or upset.

8th-Cole has had a few playdates recently.  It is a lot of fun (for him and me). He gets to play with kids his age, and I get to sit and chat with the Moms while the little people play.  We will definitely be planning more of these.

9th-Friday was Family Day at Jackson's school.  Grandma and Grandpa Harper met him for lunch, and then got to go back to see his classroom.  I recently found out Jackson's kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Houser, will be retiring after this year.  I am devastated, absolutely heartbroken that Cole will not get to have her as a kindergarten teacher, also.
