Non Stop Talk

This morning Natty showed Jack a video link that Jay shared with me via Facebook.  It is the worlds longest hot wheels track or the mother of all hot wheels tracks.  I knew when I saw it yesterday that Jack would love it.  He was out on his VIP with Grandma last night and Andy and I were doing something else when he got home so we didn't see it.  Anyhow, he watched it with Natty then watched it again.  Not sure exactly how many times to begin with.  All I know is it was about 8:30 in the morning.  He was very much excited about it and came to talk to me.  He started talking and did not stop.  He followed me everywhere I went and talked about all the different things he was going to do to his track.  He talked about starting it in the office, running it throughout the house, running it to the back yard through the doggy door, running it through his cousins play fort, running it through his cousins house, running it on the roof and so on.  His mind was going 90 miles per hour and his mouth was keeping up just fine.  I made them pancakes for breakfast today all the while hearing about how we will do special wall climbs with the track.  There was simply no end.  It was absolutely exhausting.

I did manage to sneak off into the shower and caught a break there.  This was after 10 AM.  Jack found something else to do for a while.  After the shower I was packing up the compluter so I could head in to work.  Jack showed up and excitedly said: Dad, I want to talk to you more about my hot wheels track.  He still had a lot to say.  It was crazy - it is crazy.  He is a fun boy.

When I got home I was expecting more chit chat on the matter and truly Jack did not dissappoint.  He immediately wanted to see the video again and again he watched it repeatedly.  He is a boy with a vision and a mouth to go with it.  Sure do love him   Sure do love Natty and Andy too.  They are wonderful kids.
