Adjusting Well

A lot of people have asked about whether Jackson has adjusted to the new house well or not. The answer to that question is that he has done swimmingly. The new house is much more open than the 1940s-built house so he's having a good time running around. The only downside to the new house right now has been the yard because it is useless to him while we are trying to get the sod to take root. That's getting better with every passing day though and we can let him run around on it a bit sometimes. The only remaining problem is that we have to water the grass constantly so the grass is usually soaking wet, which also limits when/where he can play. For the time-being though, he is enjoying his truck a lot and cruising around the neighborhood streets meeting the neighbors. Now that he has some room to maneuver, he's even learned to steer the truck properly (which he hadn't figured out before). He's also discovered that the truck can reverse, so he's have fun with that - although I'm not having fun with the reverse because he keeps running into the curb and getting stuck. He really doesn't seem to be scared of the new house or otherwise miss the old house. The only tangible difference that I can see in him at the new house is that he wants his bedroom door to be cracked at night. We never used to do this at the old house and he never asked for it before, so I'm not even sure where he learned it from. I'm guessing he got it from either the babysitter or sleeping over at other people's houses. It's not a huge accomodation to make to help him adjust, but I really wish he hadn't learned about "cracking the door" because when the baby comes the cracked door is gonna make that screaming baby a lot louder for him to sleep through.
