Baby Journal

My attractive wife started a Baby Journal on Jack's first birthday to record significant events. Written to Jack, it's an ongoing record we hope he'll read some day to see what it was like being a baby. There's some really good stuff, so I will periodically will begin capturing some of these past events (under the label, "Baby Journal"). Here's the first entry this this series:

From 1 June 2008:

My attractive wife was snuggling with Jack just after lights out. By this point in time, Jack had developed a special affinity for Bibi Bear, a tattered white teddy bear. When he started expressing interest in Bibi Bear, my attractive wife bought an identical replacement bear, just in case he lost it. As she gave Jack the bear, Jack responded, "This isn't Bibi Bear," -- and it wasn't! Even in the dark, he could tell the difference!

Earlier in the day, the journal records that while my wife was getting Jack ready for his nap, he hugged her neck. It was so nice and made her day.

Also earlier the day, Jack was wrestling with our neighbor, Alan whom he called "Aggis." Other things Jack said that day:

"Tata in 'ere?" -- Can I watch TV?
"Self."
"Amp." -- Elephant

Jack also claimed there was a monster in Mama's bathroom.
