Growth Spurt

Jack's been sleeping like he's a baby - 12 hours at night (at least) with two substantial naps during the day. Yesterday was the first day in about a week and a half that he only took one nap. Chalk it up to a legitimate growth spurt. I've heard about kids growing an inch in a few days, but I wouldn't have believed it.

Two weeks ago Jack wore his light green shorts- the ones that go perfectly with the cute cricket shirt Nana K got him. As usual, they ended right below his knees. Yesterday I went to put on his outfit and noticed, as he was strolling down the sidewalk, that his knees are in plain view- the shorts end right above his knees.

I'm sure he likes them better that way. Now, he can position his "Little Tikes" bike (from Nana and Pop Pop) at the top of the neighbors' driveway, sit on it, lean back with legs extended, and let the force of the hill lead him into the road. Yeah, the road. At least his shorts aren't getting in the way of his trajectory practice.
