I knew going into this that it was going to be an adventure. An adventure full of nick-names, cartoons, french bread pizzas, and all types of Star Wars.
I've always seemed to like 'boy' movies. I like the Fantastic Four movies, the Transformers movies, the Spiderman movies (but the 3rd is my favorite), Superman, the X-Men movies, and most sport related movies. Odd enough, I've never gotten around to the Star Wars movies until my little J-Man introduced me to them! J-Man's obsessedwith Star Wars, I'm talking action figures, books, movies, games for the Wii, costumes, statues, and 3 lightsabers, red, blue, and green. It's safe to say I'm well educated now in the subject of Star Wars. I know the difference between a Jedi and a Padawan, I know who gets killed in which movie and who it is that kills them, and last but definitely not least, I know who has what color lightsaber and why! It's some pretty important stuff to know when hanging out with a Star Wars-obsessed 6 year old.
One thing I really had to get over this summer was watching 'Phineas and Ferb'. My 16 year old sister is obsessed with the show and I never saw why, I used to think it was pretty annoying. But my Jack-Attack LOVES it. We watch at least 3 episodes of P&F everyday. For the past 3 days I've watched P&F: The Movie, it's actually pretty cute!
I leave for college in 4 days but I only have one more day of hanging out with my little man. It's sad because Jack knows that I'm going away to college, but he doesn't understand that he'll still be able to see me when I come home for breaks or when he comes to visit, which makes it kind of sweet. My aunt (his mom) told me the other day that he asked why I have to leave for 4 years and when she tried to explain to him that he'll see me pretty often he just shook his head in disbelief.
At the beginning of the summer when I was looking for my babysitting gig, I had a couple candidates. Luckily, I was telling Aunt Terri about how I couldn't decide what to do because that's when she asked me to babysit Jack everyday. I can't explain how happy I am that I got to spend almost everyday day with him. He's my little man and I'm going tomiss him SO much this year. It's a good thing Aunt Terri has a Mac now that way I can skype with him.
So, thanks AunT & Uncle R for paying me to hang out with the coolest kid ever this summer, he's 'da bomb'. And Jack-Attack, Maddie McNanny loves you a whole lot!
P.S. I would've done it without the pay :)

wait till aunT reads this one...
ReplyDeleteThe little Jedi's mother is the lucky one. Thank you. I've never had to worry about the little man all summer-- I knew he was in good hands and having a good time. We've heard about your MaddieJack adventures every night when he's sleepy and cuddly... and most every morning he's greeted me with some eager version of, "Is it a Maddie day? When will she be here?"
ReplyDeleteIt's made me think a lot of your first year... I was still home and got to spend a lot of time with the most incredible little infant girl. I'm really glad you and Jack have had this summer together-- there aren't any words for me to tell you how much I love that you two love each other so much.
Thank you for taking such good care of him-- and for all the Wii and Phineas & Ferb and StarWars & lightsaber battles.
You are so loved-- Uncle Eeyore and I and your JackAttack.
We fully expect to see you on the little screen on the Mac-- you'll have to continue your training from Padawan to Jedi, you know. :)
(And this is going in Jack's baby book. Someday he'll get how lucky he was this summer.)
