the screamer

I never had one of these before. A Screamer. Jack is one. The more you encourage him to be quiet, the more he screams. It started when he realized an empty Wal-Mart makes great echos. Now he does it if we are the only ones shopping or the millionth customer. He decided it would be fun at the PTA volunteer orientation yesterday. We didn't finish the meeting. They are happy screams. They aren't temper tantrums. He just likes to be loud.

He is standing unassisted. He bounces on the bed. He climbs up onto the couches and over the back side. He climbs the coffee tables, the end tables the kitchen chairs. Can he walk? Nope not at all. He could if he tried but he refuses. Gosh he is a stubborn child.

I am loving my car. I heard the back up sensors this morning. A dog was behind the car, the car beeped at me. Very cool. I like the memory settings for the drivers seat. Although I haven't let Chris drive it other than to park it at his mom's. lol It is amazing how many other Jags I see now that I have one. Just in my town though. Yes, this is the GV of Southern FL. Oh the dual settings for the a/c is a fine feature as is the controls on the steering wheel. And parking is easy again. Chris can't make fun of me anymore. :)

Grif is doing well in his new class. He is doing his homework with no problems. His classwork is finished each day. The one thing I don't get is that this is the same work as he was doing last week while in the 2nd grade classroom. My only guess is that this is a slower pace. Or maybe they get longer to finish. This is review to him where the others in the class it would be new to them. No matter, he is happy and he isn't struggling 24-7. I like the teacher a lot more.
