Mommy's Shadow

I am so bad at writing blogs in spurts. I get so busy and then the only time I have to write is usually after Jett goes to bed, and to be honest, all I want to do is lay down. Especially over the last month. Greg has been extremely busy with work and just left this past Sunday for Hawker (a type of jet) school. He will be gone for 2.5 weeks. This week hasn't been to bad, just a little lonely. I have made lots of plans to keep us involved in the outside world, but you can't really cover missing your husband and daddy with lots of activities. It's a good attempt, but it doesn't work.Jarrett has been just blooming in personality lately. He is a firecracker! On the move all day long. He is communicating so much better. He voice is so cute and he is learning many more words and sounds. He has such a loving and tender heart. He has really gotten into becoming my little helper. On cleaning day I have to watch where I step because he is always right beside me. He is so sweet and has such a heart to help. His new favorite thing is to "help" me wash the dishes. As you can see by the picture, we get the step stool out, he climbs up...and mostly just plays in the water. By the end, I'm wet, he's wet, the floor and cabinets are wet. I'm such a sucker and let him help me everytime, it just brings him such joy. My luck, when he is finally old enough to really help, it will be the age where helping mom is no longer fun or cool.
