We haven't practiced writing very much, but it's about time we start since Jasper will be starting school in August. Here's what he wrote today, and I think he did a great job.

All the letters of his name are here, they're just scattered around

Such a good job, although it seems the third D in Daddy was a little tricky to get

It's never too early for good influences.

We Are Ready

At my last doctor visit, he estimated the baby to be about 6 1/2 pounds already, so we're thinking there's a chance she could come early. Today Jon and Jeremy put the crib together and I got mostly everything organized. I feel so much better now that everything has a place and we are ready for her to come whenever she chooses to. We would like her to wait a couple more weeks though, at least until G-Ma gets here! I couldn't help but feel giddy while putting all the pink bedding on. That gorgeous crib was a gift from the servers at Jon's restaurant and I just love it. We're ready for our new Journey!

Play-Doh

When Jasper first started playing with Play-Doh I would only let him have one color at a time because I hate that ugly gray-purple color it gets when you mix everything together. I have since put my OCD aside (at least on this topic) and I give him a little bit of a few colors to play with until it turns that ugly color and it's time for new. He especially likes to make spaghetti like Daddy does at work and he even cuts it up into pieces for you to eat. He's just so sweet. (Side note: they should really make those toys easier to take apart for cleaning purposes. I hate the dried Play-Doh that gets stuck in the cracks.)

Swim Time

A few days ago Jasper went for the first swim of the year. He seemed to enjoy it, even though it wasn't really hot enough outside, and even though they say our pool is heated we're pretty sure they lie because it's not really that warm. We got uncle Jerm to go since I'm too pregnant to jump in and save Jasper in case of emergency. It was fun to watch them together. We are definitely excited for summer!

Time to Paint

One of the girls at Jon's restaurant gave me the idea of having Jasper paint on a onesie to make something special for his baby sister.

Using logic only an almost-4-year-old can come up with, he had to use 3 paintbrushes at once.

The finished product

Outside Adventures

Poor Jasper is stuck inside a lot these days because I'm too nauseous and exhausted to go outside so it's nice when Daddy is home and we can go out and play. Jasper loves to go to the park and to the river and find rocks to throw.
