First, as 2nd grade teacher, I want to thank you for all you do to help Jackson! He is amazing!!! I am not sure if you know, but probably close to 50% of kindergarteners come to school not knowing how to spell their name, they don't know their colors, they don't know their numbers or how to count, they don't know their ABC's. I love how you openly explain things to Jackson! I did want to tell Tim that the way he learned how to write letters is the way we used to teach it. In the 25 years that I have been teaching, printing has changed 4 times. Talk about confusing for the teacher. Jackson is going to do fantastic in school, and don't be surprised if his teacher tells you he needs to be in the gifted program. KUDOS, TIM & JEN!!!! BRAVO!!!

My daughter used to do what Jackson is doing with the shapes. She would get frustrated and would just do it wild to distract that she was upset and it wasn’t perfect! She’s 17 and she’s still like that in certain ways 😂🙊

I can see a lot of myself in that. I am a perfectionist who gets easily discouraged, so I totally get the “mess it up as soon as it’s not perfect anymore” tendency.

Everytime I finish something I want that sound byte to play of Jackson saying "oh, you did it" Its the wholesome motivation I need in my life.

I love these home vlogs So MUCH 💓 Please don't strain yourselves for park content when it's hot and crowded. You offer us so much more than that. Take it easy, friends.

I absolutely love the way you guys let Jackson just play in his playroom I know that should say like duh but I see a lot of parents that try to micro manage or tell their kids know they can’t flip the ball pit over when it’s truly their playroom so kudos for you you guys are great parents!

It's so neat to see Jackson going from toddler to preschooler. 🙂 Also it's so great to see him being involved in cooking and baking. He'll be happy to have that skill later in life. 🍳

Yes! My son (age 9) LOVES to make ice! He always has. We have so many different ice trays. You should get Jackson the Lego ice trays, that’s one of our favorites. With your love of Lego you’ve got to get him a set!

Jackson seems so much older every time I see him. He's cooking now. I love it!! He's such a smart little guy.

Is it me or is Jackson ready for college?!😆 what a smart little man.

Haha yes! He comes across a Sports-Bro in the halls 'dude you're too small for college' Jackson '& yet my vocabulary exceeds yours! Would you like a home made banana muffin? I'll be going for a run later if you wish to join me'

Art teacher here. Just watched a video where little tiny plastic dinosaurs were put inside of balloons, filled with water and frozen. Then you have a dinosaur inside an ice egg. Maybe something new for his ice infatuation 🙂

My favorite kind of vlog, the Hooooooooooooome Vlooooooooooog! ❤️

18:30 I agree Tim and Jenn! I am here in Canada and I know Florida is way hotter in the summer than here, that’s why I went to Disney in March and it was the perfect temperature for me! 😁

Same. Toronto is miserable and I know it has nothing on Florida. I usually go in September :) Good temps, manageable crowds, plus Food and Wine

A fun father and son day is always a good time!!!🤠

So great to see you having quality time with Jackson!!

I still can’t believe how much Jackson has grown up! It felt like yesterday you guys announced the pregnancy and posted his birth vlog and now he’s a handsome little man (whose gonna be three in November)

Tim: I think you're all done 15:08 Jackson: No not yet 🤣🤣🤣 That's the best

I feel like the elevator game is a precursor to Tower of Terror being Jacksons favorite ride.

Thank you for posting. Really needed some smiles. We just had to put my dog to sleep this morning and I’m so heartbroken. Good job baking buddy!!

The Elevator game LOL This kid's a genius!

Omg 1 minute in and who is this young adult on my screen ??! He’s getting so big wow ♥️♥️♥️ so cute!

Yes! My kiddos love to eat ice, and have been doing so since an early age. Now, we throw certain fruit in the freezer like grapes and blueberries which are an amazing treat on hot days. ☺️ Great option if you have a large quantity of fruit that is going ripe or about to expire.

So good to watch a boys day home vlog ! Jackson is growing up so fast ! Great that Jenn is baking with Jackson !

I am just exhausted by looking at you playing with Jackson lol

Jackson has sooooo much energy! Love watching him.

BOYS DAY!! Love bonding time xx

He is your son! You always baked Tim! I remember the older videos when you baked all the time. Maybe Bandit is telling him to make ice. Bandit loved his ice. ❤️❤️

The issue of people pushing their self too hard in the heat is an issue everywhere. Every time I go to Carowinds in NC, during the summer, I see someone throwing up. Take care of yourself, stay hydrated, plan to take breaks. Nothing will ruin the rest tof your day faster than having a health emergency because you neglected your bodies need for rest and hydration

Jackson is sooo cute when he asked you to trace the B and he said "you did it" 😂🥺😍. Watching Tim and Jackson play was the best thing I've seen today! Tim is such a proud dad!

A home vlog with Jackson cuteness was just what I needed today.

Hi, Jackson making things and talking more. He growing up in a great way. Tim and Jenn doing good as parents. Enjoyed. Be Safe Take Care ♥ ❤❤

So, lovey to see how Jackson is growing up. My wife has watched every vlog for the past four years. We used to go to Disney every year (DVC for over 10 years) but since my wife's illness we have not been back now for a number of years. It's also great to see you in the parks as it brings back many happy memories. As we live in the UK it’s not be possible to come back, so keep up the good work its most appreciated. Linda & Michael. 😃😃😃

loved Dad & Jackson day great to see Jackson growing

We are having the same weather in Ontario Canada right now: we don’t even go out to the park with our toddler because it’s so hot! We’ve been in the pool a lot and inside where the A/C is.

That kids couch thing seems to have been a great investment!

I had been wondering where Jen and Jackson were! So glad I clicked on this one and found out everyone is still happy and healthy! Stay cool, ya cool kids!

I love watching Jackson! My grandson is just about 2 months difference in age, and they are so delightfully the same!

How cute! What a fun boys day!

Fun fact from a pediatric OT: That wooden board is showing the evidence-based way to teach letter formation. Students taught formation that way are more likely to have good legibility and less likely to have trouble with note taking pacing in class (less likely to fall behind while taking notes during a lecture). Science! The more you know! 😁

Literally just opened the app to check for a new Tim video!

Love how Jackson always wear his Jamaica 🇯🇲 shirt from that trip!! Great home vlog

When I taught little ones, we did cooking experiences all the time, and tied it in with counting, and even a little of practical fractions--so it's definitely a good thing that Jackson's getting to do that as well. Also, i guess you could consider the elevator game Toddler Tower of Terror!

I like home vlogs! Thank you for sharing

This looks like a fun video ! Can’t wait!

You don't write your letters incorrectly. That is how I do it and it is because we learned cursive. The way you were showing the direction of your pen shows that you learned cursive sometime. They don't teach it anymore which in my opinion is sad. Lost art! Jackosn is hilarious! I love his bubbly personality. But I hope he is learning to say please when he wants something from Daddy. He seems to do it with Jen, but doesn't seem to do it with Tim. Of course I'm not there all the time and we are only seeing the tiny clips from your life. You two are awesome parents!

Yay! Home Vlog!

Jackson is so supportive of you and it’s just too sweet!!! Oh man they grow up too fast. Enjoy every minute…. I can’t believe my baby boy is now 7.

Always so fun to see a Jackson video. I got dizzy watching you run in circles.

Good Morning The Tim Tracker Family. Your videos from Disney Parks, universal studios plus ideas make my day magnificent thanks, and have a wonderful day ☺️✨.

Such a great learning play place for him. I hope he can meet friends soon, so he can learn to share and take turns and so much more. Are there kids his age in neighborhood?

Absolutely agree with you about the heat. We live here in Orlando and we’ll go to Disney Springs on a Saturday and I’ll say to my husband that I can’t imagine being in the parks. Way to hot and humid 🥵

AWESOME!!! I loved when Jackson said... Oh.. You Did It!!! 😁😄good job dad!!!! 😁.. I love play days.. I do miss them days when my son and myself would play for hours.. LOL!! 😂🤣. Now at 14 years old... it's more talking time and shopping on Amazon!! 😂🤣🤣. I also love these days!

Kids at this age want to explore so much to learn have fun helping him discover the world! I taught my daughter how to make a mud hole outside to make mud pies. They had the best time ever filling their tin pots and playing with water. Putting the mud cakes to dry on wood! Then putting feet in hole to squeeze between toes.

Way to go Jackson!!! See? ANYone can cook!

You guys are awesome, have a good day guys

That's awesome that he's learning to cook at such a young age. It's such an important skill to have. 👨‍🍳

Omg when Jackson said “what?” The exact same way that Tim does🥹 Y’all are such phenomenal parents, love y’all to pieces

You and Jen have the cutest little boy 😍😍😍😍

I’ve been looking for a good decaf, thanks for the recommendation!

I went to Florida last year in June, being TOTALLY unprepared for the heat, oh my GOD. I hadn't been to Disney in like 20 years, and my family had always gone in early spring so I never associated Florida with that level of blistering heat. Won't be doing that again anytime soon!

Me too, and I am from Brazil! Can't imagine how it is now, in july.

There are many different writing curriculums. So you probably were not taught wrong! The best thing to do would be to check with your local school district so that he doesn’t have to change when he gets to school! Some districts are more structured on teaching writing these days than others! And he’s a little young so if he’s not getting it now I would stop it and come back in a little while! But he’s doing amazing! I’m getting ready to start my 30th year of teaching.

Writing letters follows the same principle as reading. Top to bottom and left to right.

My son just ADORES ice. I'll never understand why. He says he wants to marry elsa from Frozen when he grows up. 😂

I wish they made a tool for people who get behind a steering wheel who have trouble and a hard time knowing how to use a blinker!!

He has grown so much I can’t believe he will be three in November I love watching him grow up

I totally understand why Jackson dumped all the balls out to find the other half. I do that all the time when I can't find that ONE bolt or screw...just dump the whole draw

I see you have a mostly deflated Mickey mylar balloon in Jackson's play room. If you want to deflate it and re-use it, just put a straw deep in the hole where you put in the helium, then push out the air and take out the straw. You can then fold it and save it to re-inflate later. Small helium tanks are at Party City or Walmart. (This doesn't work with laytex, just mylar.)

Thats so cool Jackson is crafty. One day you guys should make a bird house or paper mache masks! As a kid, I loved doing them.

i carry around a insulated 1/2 gallon jug tumbler thing i fill that up twice a day stay hydrated folks

I gave up caffeinated coffee June 1st! Side note, I didn’t realize how tall you were until you stood in front of the refrigerator lol

As for former cast member from Canada, it took me a VERY long time to condition to that heat. I worked on that popcorn cart in Canada for MONTHS.........unfortunately most people do not do enough research on the weather and then think- its the only time we get or holidays so we are going during the peak season. I HIGHLY recommend people taking pool days..........and they don't understand the enormousness of the Parks and don't prepare properly. MY 2 CENTS

Awwe Jackson is so cute

Another Jackson Vlog!!! The Elevator Game is Hilarious....where Did he come up with that? 🤣🤣 If Jackson loves making Ice..you guys should try to find him like a Mickey Mouse Themed Ice Tray,etc. I think he probably likes how it's shaped then that shape melts? I know some other kids Do. Just put one ice cube in a cup shaped as Mickey & have him sit there & watch it melt.

I’m late to comment but I have a theory about the direction for the way the letters are printed. Top down and left to right progression is preferred because that’s how English is written and read on a page of text. I’ve taught a couple of different reading programs and the top down, left to right progression was presented as being extremely important for emergent or struggling readers, so it makes sense to teach printing individual letters the same way.

‘My arms are tired tho!’ 😂❤️

Cute vlog 💙 xx

I love that Alphabet writing board! That excellent you are having Jackson practice that. My daughter has Dysgraphia and has a hard time writing. As a 7th grader, her handwriting looks more on par with a 3-4th grader.

Has he been taught the short and long sounds of the alphabet? That’s the next step and then he could start reading. Wow! He’s smart!

If Jackson likes cooking and baking, try making salt dough! Another idea is to pour water with different food colorings into clear cups and let him learn about color mixing!

Jackson is such a clever boy, I think he's going to be the smartest kid in school ❤️

The muffins look so yummy - way to go, Jackson!!! Oh how I envy the energy kids have. LOL

Hoooooooome Vloooooog! Guys edition. I'm exhausted just watching Jackson running around, I had forgotten how much energy little boys have. We sometimes go to WDW in the summer, actually did it most years when my son was younger just because of school. We always took an afternoon break, he used to love the pool. I'll be there the last week in Aug. and you can bet I'll be back at the BWI in the afternoon either at the pool or in my room. My son will be there with his family in Sept., including his daughter who will be 17 mo. old by then, and I know they will be going back to the room mid-day. We were there last Sept. when she was just 5 months old and not only went back to the room during the afternoon but while we were in the parks she had two fans flowing on her and we had her drinking a lot, kept her sun shade up all the time and I was constantly wiping her down with a wet cloth.

We have a local coffee shop that roasts their own coffee beans and they also use the Swiss water method and it is delicious!

So interesting you are teaching him/letting him learn to write letters already. My son starts school in September and is 4 years old and we have been told pre school no long teach them how to write letters as school generally have a different way of teaching so it’s best to wait till school for them to learn. Jackson seems so much more grown up and developed than my son it’s amazing!

Jackson is so adorable

Absolutely adorable! I love when you just play together! Love to see what toys and learning items he's playing with and all his little outfits are so cute! Going to watch again! Your family brings me much needed joy! Thank you for sharing!!😇😇😇

If you see him “go silly” with a tracing activity, it’s a normal thing for a 2 1/2 year old to do, because it teaches he/she that it can help with writing later on in life.

Love home vlogs and needed some smiles today just so drained😎👍🏻 hi to your wonderful family and you.

Jackson is getting so big

I think it's time to cut him off of Bluey. I noticed he has a bit of an accent when he said there and a couple of other words. He's softening his ts and rs. Fun!

Jackson is the cutest

So interesting to hear your writing question at the beginning of the video b/c I just had the same conversation with a friend. The way some teach writing now is not efficient & doesn’t support learning to write in cursive. My kids learned to write cursive before they learned to write print, but they go to a private school. It’s supposed to somehow benefit hand-eye-brain coordination to learn cursive first. I don’t remember exactly. Their approach to teaching is much different than most public schools.

Yes. My sons and nephews love eating ice

If you have some extra balls, get a small plastic pool for your yard and put the extra balls in there. Those can be outside balls and a place for him to play outside and clean balls inside.

Hellooo Tim !! Love from Connecticut

Great video Tim

Tim I am 100% on board with you on teaching penmanship, I had SEVERAL teachers in elementary school who constantly berated me for how I would write "E's" "A's" "7's", the only time it got better was when we were learning Cursive (but that was because all students started on the same page- pun not intended)

My parents learned to take me and my siblings during the winter because there was always a nice breeze but Texas has been boiling hot too we are known for our hot weather been staying indoors and hydrated

Have Jackson try Endless alphabet app! My son loves it and I’ve used it for kids I watched for the last 10 years! Incorporates puzzles with phonics! We use it with abc mouse!
