28 months old

Our little Jacie is 28 months old! Only two months from being two and a half! I can hardly believe it!

Jac is talking up a storm! He is now consistently using two words together and sometimes three word concepts! I am continually amazed at what he understands and says! Sometimes I can hardly contain my amazement and I am constantly saying to Daddy, "Did you hear what Jac just said!"

He has been going through a little clingie period the last few days. It seems like he got a bit intimidated while we were playing at Amy's Playground and at the park by our house. When other kids were playing where he was playing he wanted my help to try to move them or just came back to me and sat with me. This is really different than two weeks ago! I am just being supportive and going with him when he wants me to and not making a deal of it. I hope that he will become his independent self again soon! It is so much more fun for him!

I am starting to think about preschool for him. Which I can also hardly understand! My little boy going to school - without me! OMG! Well - I better get used to it!

I am currently looking at Kids Klub in Pasadena, Pacific Oaks in Pasadena, and the Child Educational Center in La Canada. One of our friends has recommended all of these places. We shall see! They all have waiting lists I am sure! I should have started this when Jac was born probably! I am looking for part-time a couple of days a week to begin with.

I am wondering how splitting the boys up is going to be. Jac, along with being more clingy to me he is more clingy to Nic and more concerned than ever about him. Perhaps because Nic is walking now and even more independent! He tells me "doing" when he is worried that I need to pay attention to what Nic is doing - like walking too far away! When he wakes up if Nic is not right there he finds him immediately and he keeps an eye on him when we are out. Such a good big brother! I wonder how he is going to feel about going to school without him! Are we really ready for this? Both of us! I have a feeling that Nic would revel in one-on-one attention from Mommy which he has only ever had in a very limited amounts.

On his way to 2.5!
