New Toys

 

James loves it when we get packages in the mail, it doesn't matter who they are for.  Taking after Rachel and Ryan, we came across a gift card to Toys R Us that was given to us when James was born.  Since it was his we decided to buy him a toy that he kept asking for and because we don't have one in town he would get a package in the mail.

 We bought him Mack the truck, he couldn't believe that that is what was in the box.

 James is learning so much and so fast.  James loves to go to church, he also gets mad when he can't go to church when Jon does.  To lessen the tantrums we started referring to church as Dad's work when James couldn't go and we called it church when he could go.  Well, one morning Jon told him that he had to go to work, and James said "work, at church".  So he figured it out, at least he is starting to understand that he can't always go in with Jon.
If Jon and I are singing along with one of his shows or being crazy and loud in the car James will hold up his hand and say "please dada/mama, please".  Which means please don't sing or please calm down.  He has also said that when he needs a little privacy and he doesn't want me to follow him into a room.  Hopefully this means that potty training will be a little easy if I only give him privacy in the bathrooms.  I can only hope.
