started kindergarten! still doesnt say hi to people BUT plays with kids so instantly!
met kai/parker for the first time and they actually started kinda playing together at the first meeting within like 20 mins or so.
tiff/daniel visited as momo was back from hawaii and ALL the kids (caelen, cerie, denise, tristan, mya, jackson) were prob playing for like 90 mins without any fighting or crying from ANYONE -- though - mya and jackson did come down a lot and played by themselves / with kow fu (fishing). ultimately, i think they like their physical space because they were all playing in the small room and i'm sure it prob got hectic/crowded. it was so funny seeing denise/jackson talking and playing with each other!!

jackson
loves finding/playing with sticks when we're out
loves bananas, oatmeal, hot dogs, soft soupy rice, noodles, chicken & duck skin
tried bamboo, clams, and squid, and loves it
self potty training. generally pretty good about pooping in the toilet. likes to go pee when mya pees. seems to have a bigger bladder than mya - when he pees, there's always ALOT. he's went 5 days without a pee in his diaper overnight!!
SUCH a puppy, still grabs my legs lovingly and hugs them when he gets excited and still requires me to be next to him when he sleeps
had a puzzle obsession for a while - can do a 24 piece puzzle with some guidance
still LOVES kisses and hugs xD.. comes up to give me unsolicited kisses sometimes
doesn't say his s's (mell my feet! im noopy! i need my tick!)
"banilla ice cream" you want chock-lick ice cream? it's four dollars
randomly professes his love to us lol "i love mommy, i love daddy, i love jie jie" - he's so sweet!
likes to "balance" (walking on curbs)
getting better at coloring inside the lines and can almost draw a straight line now (vs last month he couldn't even fathom what that meant)
loves to sing expressively while walking around after dinner lol almost broadway like "i am ariel!!" i don't know but i have toooooo"

great wolf lodge
kids had a lot of fun playing with water. mya was more brave & courageous than i anticipated. she loved it a lot! fav was prob playing in the wave pool with po po and shooting water guns with jackson/daddy. she did also try one of the water slides but didn't like water splashing in her face, so she didn't do it again. but still, it's awesome she even did it in the first place. jackson.. seemed to love everything! he def loved being in the wave pool with daddy and i think he liked chilling on the lazy river.
mya LOVES hotels and still prefers vegas to everything else.
i feel like jackson's fav part of a hotel is the mini fridge cuz he kinda treats it like a store lol - but it makes sense since it's on his height level. a lot of times he takes to a toy and just talks and plays with himself. he also likes being in the shower - i was showering with him and then the next thing i saw was him upside down and having the water spray his butt
first time bowling! mya had a blast - jacksons not strong enough to really roll the ball properly to knock down pins
