Bonzai!

In the world of Jackson, bonzai is the translation of Go Buffs! Jackson attended his first CU football game today. Truth, he went to the first home game last year but we never actually sat in a seat to watch so I am not counting it. Today, we sat in chairs and made it through an entire half. Jackson rocked his Colorado tee shirt and hat and jacket, clapped when it was appropriate, cheered when it was appropriate, and danced whenever he felt like it.

I've been trying to teach him to say GO BUFFS forever, and he says Go, and he says Boi, but when he says them together it comes out bonzai.

Maybe by the Nebraska game...

Let it Snow

Today we had our first real snow of this fall. And the first time that Jackson realized that there is snow and noticed that there was white stuff all over the place. At breakfast he kept pointing out the window and saying "No! No!" which is his s-free version of snow. I can't wait till he gets his boots on and his down jacket and can go play in it for the first real time. Sadly, I will be unable to participate.

I'm sick. I've been sick since Thursday. The flu test was negative, the strep test was negative. I'm feeling better but still have a lot of symptoms so I'm staying away from Jackson and Jason so I don't infect them. I was given some antibiotics in the event that my throat culture comes back positive, but I just decided to take them this morning anyways. My throat feels terrible but mostly my soft palate.
