T-R-O-U-B-L-E

This little man is giving us a run for our money these days. Maybe you can tell me if this is a 2 year old thing....He can go from being so sweet to being a terror in the blink of an eye. He can go from laughing hysterically to crying on the floor in less than a second. He can go from helping set the table to coloring on the table in no time flat. The biggest challenge we are having right now is the crying. He cries for no reason...quite often. This problem led to his first.......spanking....gasp! on Saturday. I know, I know. Hopefully this is just a phase he is going through. He is doing great going to the potty. He usually wakes up with a dry pull-up. Here are a few of our recent conversations....

Mommy, why are you putting that lipstick on your face? Well Jack, that is what girls do. Boys don't wear lipstick, boys eat CHEESE.

What is your name? Jackson Kelly Shepard What is baby brother's name? G-Man Kelly Shepard

I just love you Mommy

If you ask Jackson to tell you a story before he goes to bed he will tell you the SAME story every time. It goes like this: We dropped baby jaguar in the forest, but it was too bumpy in the forest. Now you tell me a story Mommy!
