Jake: I have never played soccer, but I want to.
Me: Ok, Jake maybe we can get you on a team?
Jake: Ok
Jake: Wait mommy, what does that mean?
Me: We can get you on a team and you can play soccer.
Jake: I would like to play on a team like Mommy.
Me: ok
Jake: Yes, I would like to play on a little kids team and a mommies team. I will bring my squishy soccer ball.
Sign him up!

Don't cry..
and I didn't.
Jake and I took a much needed little get away to Yaya's house this weekend. It was great to see my mom and to also get out of RI for a couple of days. Jake and I slept in the same bed for two nights..let me rephrase - he slept, I kept pulling him off of me and moving him over. The second night I smartened up and put a body pillow in the middle of us. We both slept much better. He did however, yell in the middle of the night "GOOOO Tom Brady" It was really cute! Also, the second night he yelled for me..only for me to pull the blanket off my head and reveil to him that I was, in fact, laying right next to him.
On Sunday as we were leaving I got a text from Alex that said "Don't cry" with a picture of a big boy bed in Jake's room. Yes, a bed. Yes my 3.7 year old has been sleeping in a crib this whole time. Let me tell you why..he has never complained about it, it keeps him contained, and it is the same mattress we would use for his bed. In other words: "if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it!" SO. We waited. I have to admit as well, I thought about upgrading him months ago but I was too worried what it would do to his sleep. This kid loves sleep as much as his parents, and I didn't want to ruin that for any of us! He also had told us that when he got his "big boy bed" he wanted it to go in Mommy and Daddy's room. You slept with us in a bassinet for 6 months kid, remember?
We came home Sunday and he was very excited to get into his bed and jump of it! He laid down, pretended to sleep and brought his Alvin, Simon & Theodore animals in bed with him. Did I cry? NO. I am proud of my little man..and while at times I am sad that he is growing up (5T pants already!) so fast, I am very proud of the little boy he is becoming. Yes, he does push our buttons at times and loves to get hungry at bedtime or have to pee the minute we walk about of his bedroom after putting him to sleep. But, he is also a sweet cuddle bug who loves to play games, tell us we are his "best friends in the whole world", kiss randomly, hugs often and is never afraid to say "I love you" at any given moment. I'm proud that he has 100% mastered the peeing on the potty thing..and I know he'll get the # 2 part real soon. Although, he did tell us last week that the reason why he was pooping in his pants was because "My poop doesn't like our toilet". Ok. That's not to say he isn't successful at it, he has been about 50% with it. Progress.
Progress. We are all making it. Im trying to look at Jake and look at all he has accomplished and not worrying about how old he is getting or getting sad at the fact that he is hitting these awesome milestones. There are only more milestones for him to hit and for all of us to rejoice in them.

The day came...
Jake has "girlfriends"..he has Sidney and he has Lilly and he has other older woman who just find him adorable too. I know that he expresses that Sid & Lil at various times are his girlfriends and I am ok with that. In fact, we encourage it! Its cute..they have all been friends from day one and of course we joke about who is going to pay for the weddings years (MANY) from now.
Today was a different day. I dropped Jake off at school and a cute little girl asked Jake about 3-4 times as I was getting his coat off to sit with her and color. She set both of them up with pages to color and put a seat right next to hers and patted it and said "sit here". She was aggressive in a cute 3 year old way. I really didn't think too much of this exchange until tonight..as I was kissing Jake good night before bed he said to me "Kayleigh asked me to kiss her". "ok..so what did you tell her bud?" Jake replied that he told her no and walked to the other side of the classroom. I thought this was a good idea in my oh so protective mom way and I asked him how come. " There is no kissing in school. Papa told me no kissing in school" The first part I like, the second part I do not buy! Papa? Kissing at school? In any case..he has an admirer! HOw can I say I am surprised? I am his mom, of course I think he's the cutest thing since Tom Brady..
