A Gift From Lili

Because Lili was making Elyot some lovely keepsakes (see Elyot's blog for details) she also made Jackson cosy blanket with his favourite love-heart symbol on it.

Jackson is keeping it at the foot of his bed because he says, "I love it. I don't want it to ever get messed up."

Jackson the Teacher

Jackson is very good at teaching Elyot new things. Here he is teaching him to play a ball game.

School Days

Jackson is having a great second term at 3 year old kinder!

This term they are learning about the world of nature and animals. They are focusing on insects and spiders at the moment, so Jackson took the shell of a small huntsman spider we found to show his classmates. Click on photo to see his classroom's journal account of this.

On another day, Jackson painted a spider for a display in his classroom.

Check out the account in the journal (where you can also see Jackson's two best buddies, Macky and Fletcher):

Easter Times!

Jackson did lots of Easter activities this year, including making everyone some nice gift bags with chocolate eggs inside with Lili.

We asked Vicky, James and Olive to join us at the American Women's Auxiliary egg hunt.

And Mama and Jackson dyed eggs--and ate them!

On Easter Sunday, the Easter Bunny left treats for Jackson, Elyot, and even Mama and Daddy and Granma and Lili.

Granma and Lili came over that evening, we had an egg hunt in our yard, and Daddy made a ham feast. Cheers everybody!
