Jack got stuck somewhere in the 2's for a long time. It was with much effort and struggle and tears that he wrestled into his 3's... and he seemed even there to hang on. But then... all of a sudden... and I do mean all of a sudden - as in in the last two weeks. He's 5. FULL FLEDGED FIVE. Telling stories and jokes and being polite and helpful and trying to talk his siblings out of things and into things and wow.
Jack is a jumper. He always has been. Even in the womb, this guy jumped around. In development he is the quintessential boy. In that he rides along slow as you please in a stage and then sudden jumps past the next five.
It's glorious. It's funny. It's great. But for the first time I can remember I'm sitting here with mouth half open saying, "Wait, wait... so did I just totally miss out on the 4s?!"
