Jack is so smart. I handed him his juice and told him to go put it away in the kitchen. He hops off my lap, goes running for the kitchen, and before very long i hear, "HELP" which really sounds more like HAOLP (sound it out)..i realize that he is trying to put it away in the fridge. HOW SMART IS THIS KID?

Sometimes I think it is to his detriment that he is so smart. We were watching happy feet a minute ago, and the mommy penguin, daddy penguin and the baby penguin were all standing together. This is what my son says: "mommy and dada" My heart instantly broke and I started to cry. Sometimes I think i can protect him from the truth. I prefer to think he has no concept of a mama and a dadddy being together, but he is so much smarter than i give him credit for. It makes me sad or something else i can't describe when i realize he knows things he shouldn't have to. when i realize he will likely see things he shouldn't have to.

I know God has forgiven me for the malo decisions I have made in my life. I have forgiven myself too, mostly. But there is something about the way my heart breaks when i see how Jack is being forced to grow up...

I agree. Jack is so unbelievably smart, I sometimes forget he is only ONE! :) Where do you think he gets it from? His dad? I think not. You don't give yourself nearly as much credit as you should. You devot your life to him (as you should) and that can be seen by anyone. Jack will have his chance at mommy and dada. He just needs to give mommy some time (2years) :) He is so young now, only ONE. By the time he will remember and by the time he will sincerely acknowledge "dada", I bet he will have one. One that will love him, cherish him as you would, and someone who will teach him to be a good MAN. I know someone who could handle that! Be happy! You have a stud of a son, who practically worships you. And willamena. He's healthy and happy (most of the time).

love, NAL
