Twenty Five

If you haven't fallen off the face of the Earth then you either have a Facebook account, know what Facebook is or probably can be considered geriatric.

Well- this thing called 25 Random Things About Me has been floating around for a few weeks now and it's gotten lots of attention. There's an article in Time magazine this week about it and there was a front page article in our local newspaper yesterday. Crazy.

Anyway- I thought I would do one for my kids, since I already did mine and posted it on my Facebook page.

I'll start with Jack and then do one later for RiRi.

25 Random Things about Jack Milligan

1. He sleeps with a stuffed dog.
2. He has no loose teeth.
3. He goes to an endocrinologist twice a year for a weight/height check.
4. He does not like to talk on the phone.

11. It was easy to come up w/ his name: he was named after two great-grandpa's.
12. His middle name, Denin, is after his paternal great-grandfather. But he spelled it: Dynan. I thought that was too feminine so we changed the spelling.
13. He got his first tooth at 6 months, on Easter.

19. He orders two meals when we're at Qdoba- kids chicken quesadilla and naked burrito w/ rice, black beans, chicken and cheese. And he eats almost all of it.
20. He does not like milk. Or green beans. Or brussel sprouts. I did try to con him into eating some sprouts the other night. Nope. Not doing it.
21. He is sensitive and does not like to be reprimanded.
22. He could play at the park for hours.
23. He loves school.
24. He loves to build. (haven't we discussed that one many times- just had to put it in here for future reference)
25. He loves his family.


Until next time...
