I thought it was about time for an update on the big kids. Let's begin with JJ. He turned three in May and planned his four year old party the next week (apparently we are having a dinosaur theme). He loves to cuddle but struggles with managing his temper. The tantrums get better for a while, and then he'll go through another round. His permanent status is still up in the air, but moving (slowly) towards a resolution one way or the other. He has now been with us for two years.
JJ is a musical kid and he is going to start a preschool music class in a few weeks. I think he'll really enjoy it. He and Annie play well together--for the most part--and he adores Sophie. He calls her "my Sophie." JJ likes to be outside as much as possible and especially enjoys playing in the water.
He has a boy baby doll that he got in the hospital when Sophie was born. He calls him Baby Blue. Baby Blue is his alter ego or something--he does things JJ wants to do but knows he would get in trouble for, and also has all kinds of imaginative adventures. I am thinking of beginning a Twitter #babyblueantics hashtag to keep track! Last week, Baby Blue threw all his green beans on the floor, ran for public office, and went flying. Stay tuned for more in the continuing saga of JJ and Baby Blue!
