BIG Day for Baby Jack

Jack had a huge day today that was full of excitement! The day started just playing in the house while Daddy leveled out the yard with some dirt. Then Mommy and Jack went to Tumble Time class. He really loved the class and seeing all the other kids. There were 10 kids there altogether and they got to do all sorts of activities like playing on slides and teeter totters, singing songs, tumbling, playing under the parachute and playing with bubbles. At the end of class Jack got a stamp on each hand and on his belly. He showed off his belly to everyone for the rest of the day!
We got home and Jack took a nap after lunch. He got woken up by the sound of music. Little did he know it was the ice cream man parked outside our house! He went out and met the ice cream man for the first time and got a Popsicle. He didn't even want to eat it but he was really interested in the truck that played music! We headed out to the deck so Jack could try out his new sand box table for the first time. He doesn't quite "get it" but later in the day he kept heading back to dig in the sand. We also went rollerblading and played in the yard for awhile.
Here is where the real fun started. Mommy and Daddy started putting together Jacks new swing set! We didn't get too much done because Jack "helping" sort of slows things down but then Grandma and Grandpa came to help and we managed to get quite a bit done. I should have taken a picture at the end of the night but the part where the swings hang is put together and the house/fort area is put together as well as the slide. We just need to put the roof on the fort and attach the swings and the slide. We also need to build the picnic table area underneath the fort. Hopefully tomorrow!

This was the result of Jack finding a big mud puddle in the yard. He was a total mess. His clothes had to come off before he went in the house and he went right into the bath tub!
