The Mulkey Family

Jackson is obsessed with all things Nike. He can identify a Nike product from a mile away. Needless to say, he was thrilled with the purchase of his new Nike shoes and he will not take them off...literally. All day long he says "Nike shoes on" and he breaks into dance mode when he is wearing them. Here are some photos of him showing off his new kicks!

If for some reason it is quite in the house (a total rarity) and I have not seen Jackson in a few minutes because he has decided to sneak off somewhere, I have a good idea of where to find him. The kid is always raiding the pantry for snacks. If I would let him, he would live off of cheerios, goldfish, pretzels and cookies. He is always digging for food! By the way, his eating habits right now are TERRIBLE. So bad, in fact, that I am losing sleep over it. He absolutely will not eat anything I make for him...breakfast, lunch or dinner. I have tried everything to get him to eat his fruits and veggies. If you know me, you know I am so psycho about him eating healthy, so this is making me lose my mind! He refuses to eat things that he used to LOVE to eat...I am hoping that it is just a phase but this has been going on for about a month now. Did anyone else experience this? Do you have any tricks up your sleeve?

Apparently the days of having your 23 month-old call you "mommy" are over. Jackson has now graduated to calling me by my first name...a bit young for that isn't he???
