Walking in the Early Morn

Jack gets up early, ridiculously early in my book. And he loves to be outside. So we usually hit the road for a walk by 7am every morning. Many things happen on our little walks.

Jack likes to stuff his little mouth full of Kix cereal while we walk. And sometimes he worries that we'll get lost, so he throws his Kix out, one by one, to leave a trail, just like Hansel and Gretel.

While leaning back to say hello to me, he's also noticed the moon and cracks up every time he sees it. I sang a song about the moon once and now he insists that I sing it every time he sees the moon. Sometimes it's embarrassing when other people are passing by us.

Jack likes to walk where there are lots of people. So we tend to walk in the area of BYU campus so that we can see all the students heading to school. He always waves hello as they pass by.

Sadly, no one ever waves back. Today we got a smile from a girl, but that's about it. Poor Jack, but he still keeps on trying.

On Thursday we saw Uncle Andrew on his scooter on our morning walk. Now every time a scooter passes by, Jack looks at me to confirm if it's Uncle Andrew or not. When I say it's not, he then makes his high pitched little questioning sound and raises his hands in the air, wondering where the heck Uncle Andrew is then.

Jack also loves to see the birdies. We are constantly bird watching.

We love our morning walks and don't know what we're going to do when it gets too cold to go!
