His name is Jack Michael, but we call him Bubbers. Or Rooney. Or Bubber-Roo. There's no method to the naming madness; these are just the names that have evolved for him over his five years. He's got quite a personality, after all. He's our little bundle of creative energy.
Among many other things, Jack is:
...the boy who took an old Playtex baby bottle (the kind with openings on both end) and the boot from a Luke Skywalker doll to fashion himself a hook to hide his little hand so he could play the evil Captain Hook from Peter Pan.
...the boy who put a black cowboy boot on one leg and rolled up the pant leg on the other to expose one bare leg. The bare leg became his "peg leg" as he stomped around shouting orders as the mean Captain Ahab from Moby dick.
...the boy who took his brother's stretchy cloth book cover and draped it across half his face, transforming himself into the villainous "Two Face" from Batman.
I don't know where he comes up with this stuff. I just know that when your child is a ham, it's darn tough to get a sweet, smiling portrait. You get what you get when you click the shutter.

Yay for the slideshow! I don't even know how to do one of those :) The best way to learn how to do stuff is to just give it a try - it helps if you have a little mommy time to experiment too. Way to blog!
Hey! That turned out cool! I just figured out how to add a Flickr icon to my site. I've been doing stuff from that site to try it out. I like it and it seems to be faster on the download time. I"m still in the dark ages on most of that stuff! Way to go!
I love the hook Jack made for captain hook - very creative! Cute stories, cute pictures. Way to go on the slideshow, girl :)
Man oh Man! Are they BOTH growing up SO quick! Eliza and Jack can do DRAMA together!! What a pair that would be!!! Hope you are enjoying your 40th, girl....downhill from there! hahaa! Kidding! Love you all and miss you much! See who the "talented one" is?!? Girl Blogger Power Unite!
Love your blog, especially the slide show. But then, you have great subjects to work with, as in my grandsons! They are beautiful, just like their mother. And, who said after 40 is all downhill? Take it from mom, NOT TRUE.
Keep up the great job with your blog. Love to all.
