Jacob notes:
Hysterical little guy! I love hanging with the little man. He is growing up so quickly! The other day he mentioned that he was going to go downstairs and make breakfast - and he started to! Pulled out the waffles from the freezer and got his stool out so that he could stand at the counter and put them in the toaster! For the past week we have been starting the potty training journey - Whenever he needs to go he says: "I got a feeling" and he heads to the potty. He has been doing well, still in diapers at nap/bed time and when out doing errands and diapers for #2, but the accidents have been decreasing. actually, 4 days into training I picked him up from school and he was in the same clothes I dropped him off in!
Jacob was really stuttering so we had him evaluated by Early Intervention. They think it will go away and that it is just because he has a really advanced vocabulary and his brain is working faster than his speech. He was evaluated about two months ago and the stuttering is already subsiding. I guess they were right. A piece of the evaluation is a cognitive test, which he did really well at. Tested above his age level.
Memories about Jacob I never want to forget:
* I have a mother necklace. Jacob was asking about it the other day and I was telling him that daddy got it for me after Jacob was born. We are connected in it, which means we are a team. Now, whenever I am not wearing it and Jacob notices he asks me to put on my team necklace.
*Every August I take a week off when daycare is closed. Last year Jacob and I flew down to FL to go on vacation with mom and dad. This year dad did not want to take off more time from work so mom, Sandi, Jacob, and I are going to FL (staying at Vistana and going to Disney some). Jacob is so excited and when asked who we are going to FL with he says "both my grandmas!"
*If I ask Jacob to do something he says, "ok, momma" in the sweetest little voice.
*Jacob LOVES LOVES to swim and has been doing really well with just his little swim vest. Jumping off diving boards and everything!
This past weekend (June 23-24):
Saturday: LAUNDRY in the morning. Our washing machine is broken while potty training! So, Jacob and I did some laundry in the morning then headed to Berkshire Hills (daddy's work pool) and did some swimming. Then it was home for a nap. When Jacob woke up we did some errands and Megan came over with dinner - stuffed shells!
Sunday: Took Cooper for a walk then headed to Ioka Valley Farm for strawberry picking. No strawberries this year, but the farm playground was free so we played there for a little bit. Then we went home and changed into our suits and headed over to The Springs for a little swimming. It was wonderful - we were two of three people there for the majority of our time there. Then it was home for naps (me included). When we woke up (4'ish) we headed to the store for some groceries to make chocolate chip ice cream sandwiches! Then dinner (Jacob helped pick up some of his toys) and bed.
A few weekends ago we had a wedding celebration to go to for a great family friend. A friend got some great pictures of Jacob! LOVE the little man in blue!
I will be back soon! Promise!
