Jake and I were walking to my car after a trip to the YMCA and he commented that my car was broken - and I told him I'd like to buy a new car soon..he told me I should by a blue and he was going to buy a yellow one for himself..
Jake: I need to buy a car to go to work.
Me: Where do you work?
Jake: I work at school.
Me: What do you do at school for work?
Jake: At school I work...I test trucks
Well, couldn't argue with that!

Kangaroo
Jake told me lately that kangaroos and bunnies hop.. apparently so does Jake. I got a call on Monday that Jake had "taken a digger" and hit his head and was bleeding enough for them to believe he needed stitches or glue. I raced out of work and got to him ASAP...thinking I was going to walk into scoop up a screaming little boy who just wanted his Mommy. Nope. I walked very quickly into the school's office to find Jake sitting on the Asst. Director's lap reading a book. No tears. No crying. He simply told me "Mommy, I have to go to the Dr. and get a bandage". The cut looked like this:
The whole story is that Jake was jumping and fell off of a cot and hit his head on a table ( "a red table, Mommy").
And yes..he is smiling..and still reading his Cat in the Hat book. We grabbed a quick snack on the way and headed to the Dr's office. Our pedi is fabulous and told us to just come right down with him and if they thought he needed stitches they'd send him next door to the ER (ugh). Thankfully, they took Jake in right away (I mean, who wants a kid dripping blood in the waiting room!). Jake could not have been more well behaved..First off he walked into the Dr's room and said "I'm Jake, what's your name?" he sat on the table and let the Dr. Bob wipe down his cut.
When Dr. Bob explained he'd be gluing Jake's cut, he was very interested in that. Arts and Crafts at the Dr's!. Jake sat in my lap and patiently waited while the Dr. put a few coats of Dermabond on his cut. I was amazed at how quickly it dried and that was that. No worrying about baths or even him playing and running around. Today, about 6 days later it has finally washed away and the cut looks fine. I am so happy that he did not have to have stitches..I am not sure I could have handled watching them work on his face like that.
After the arts and crafts at the Dr's we headed to get ice cream because of how well behaved he was and ..well..it was a long day - we both deserved a treat!
Just minutes after eating his "us cream" cone...he was out.
I've been a bad blogger lately because I have been writing paper after paper for school and just do not have the energy to write more. I will try to be better about it in the future!!

Sing me a song
Jake and I were playing "roll the ball" back and forth to each other tonight and he came up with the great idea of singing songs. His first one was "oh diaper, diaper diaper, there you are" and his next (and my favorite)...
"My favorite girls name is Mommmmyy......I love her"
Melted my heart..
Love you to Jake-Jake.
