Jakeb

Jakeb is growing so fast. It is unbelievable what he is doing and saying. While driving home in the car tonight Jakeb asked if he can go to a waterpark, and then he asked if he could go to the beach. Where on earth would he get the idea of a waterpark, we are in Washington where every day is like a water park. He also comes up with some very funny ideas. Tonight he decided he was going to line up all his books and make a bridge and walk over it and see the ducks, and then when that was done he stacked up all his books. He loves to stack things and will try to stack just about anything. We have also been working on potty training for the last two weeks and it is unbelievable how quick he caught on. He has been doing so well especially because he gets a treat for going potty, but now he thinks that all he has to do is sit on the toilet and he gets a treat. He is also very tricky, instead of going one time he will hold a little and go twice so he gets two treats. The hardest part for James and I is nap time and bed time. It is funny how a little boy needs to go potty at least five times before he goes to bed; I guess this is the beginning of prolonging bedtime. Jakeb is also our helper. He wants to help with everything or go everywhere we go. His famous sayings are, "I help to", or "I go to". My most favorite time with Jake is when he tells me he wants to cuddle with me, even if it is right before bedtime, which is just another prolonging of bedtime, but for cuddling with Jake its alright. Jakeb loves trucks, trains, bridges, and anything you would find on a construction site. Any bridge we drive over or drive under we always have to specify if it is a car, train, or people bridge, and if we are lucky we will see a train going by. Jakeb loves to be outside, and if he could be outside all day he would. He loves to go to church because he get to go to nursery. He loves to read books and from his books he has gained quite an imagination. We read a book every night about Teddy Roosevelt when he was a boy about how he was scared of bull mooses, so now everytime he sees a shawdow he says that he sees a bull moose. It is quite hilarious.
