Asking Jake what is for dinner...

"Let's have lunch ice-creams"

AKA - lets have ice cream sandwiches for dinner.


"They are VERY good mommy, let's have them."

They just keep coming..

Normally Alex rocks Jake to sleep every night but tonight I did it as Alex is not feeling well.

Mommy and Jake are rocking in the chair and cuddling...

Jake: Tell me a story, Mommy.

Me: Sorry Jake, it's time for bed. (This SOUNDS mean, but this child will do anything and everything to push back bed time._including the Iamhungry.Iwantfood.Ihavetopee.Iwillpooponthepotty.readmeanotherbook.Letstellstories.letssingsongs line.

Jake: But Daddy ALWAYS tells me a story at nuh-night time. Daddy does that, he tells me stories. Daddy always tells me stories.


At 2.5 they do that?!!?

He has a point...

Jake had a hard time keeping his hands to himself at school today during lunch so the teacher put him in a highchair to eat.

The teacher told him: "Big boys don't touch other people's food!".

Jake's reply: "Big boys don't sit in high chairs!"

I am not thrilled that he was fresh...but you have to give the kid credit for trying!

:)

It's fixed

Part 2 of the moon puzzle...as we were leaving daycare today Jake said: "Look at the moon Mommy! It's FIXED!"

The Moon Puzxle

"Mommy, I see the moon..oh...it's missing pieces!" Jake's comment about the half moon tonight.

Winter Wonderland

We have been busy..shoveling and cuddling and trying to stay busy indoors with all the snow and ice falling outdoors! Not that I am complaining - out of a possible 4 classes I should have had the past two weeks, I have only had ONE with cancellations. I'm not complaining now..but...i'm sure it wont be fun when we have to play catchup. Oh well...such as life in New England.

Last week we too Jake to see Elmo and friends at Sesame Street live. We were joined by our good friends, Sarah, Kevin and their cutey patooty - Lilly.. Jake liked the show, but didn't like it so much when Elmo went off stage. If he couldn't see Elmo he'd ask where he went and then at one point yelled in his cute 2.5 year old voice "Elmmmoooo, where ARE you??"

A couple of weekends ago Auntie Courtney and Mia came for the weekend. Jake was on cloud nine! He absolutely loves Mia and will follow her around whenever we are with them. They played dress up, played in the tent and tunnels, sang, painted and even put on a little dance. The dance pretty much consisted of Mia dancing and Jake tailing her. I love that they are close already and enjoy playing together so much!

Latest updates for Jake..

He loves to count in Spanish..uno, dos, cuatro, tres...lol.. if we tell him to go slow, he can actually count to 5 in spanish by himself.

He still loves the wheels on the bus song and asks us to sing it to him at night when we rock him to sleep. His favorite line "The Mommys, and the Daddys and the Jakes say i love you".. pure cuteness.

Jake loves the snow and loves to eat the snow and step on it. Last night we went out to dinner with friends and his little friend Sidney..while they were waiting for us each of our 2.5 year olds sat on top of the snow. Cute. Wet.

I have been feeling under the weather lately with sinus infections and Jake very sweetly will check on my if I am laying down. He also loves to get into our bed and have all of us get under the covers to hide from the crocodiles. He laughs so hard while we are all under there.

Speaking of laughing..this child still LOVES to be tickled. His laughter is too cute to not tickle him!

While he does love his mommy...he is at the moment a Daddy's boy! Some mornings the first thing he says is "Is Daddy here?" "Can I see Daddy?" He doesn't 100% favor him..but he always wants to be by his side and drags Alex into the playroom to play most of the time.



Here are a few pics from January...
