Routine
Jake loves him some night time routine! Alex normally puts Jake to bed but on the off night that it is my turn, Jake isn't too happy. They have songs and books and stories..and I .. can read books..but I don't tell the stories that Alex does..nor do I know the song routine. I know it starts with Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and ends with the Wonder Pet's theme song.. but the order in between is where I fail. As Jake always says "Daddy doesn't ever ask 'whats next' like you do." Well exxxcccuuuuseee me!
What I do love to do is to listen to them upstairs going through the routine. Lately it has been tough to get Jake to buy into the fact that it is bedtime.. at 7:45 its still not dark.. he is hardly convinced that it is bedtime when it's light out.
What is this little guy up to these days.. well at 3.11 years old he has learned that he can climb the small tree in our backyard. Thankfully, it is not a tall tree, nor is the part that he climbs very high off the ground. It does reiterate the fact that he is ALL boy. Alex had to sign a copy of Jake's progress report at school.. and while he is not a genius his teacher did state he is "very smart". I chalk this up to his curiosity, his love of books and stories and using his imagination.. he is into numbers as well. He loves adding and loves when we quiz him on 2 plus 2, 3 plus 3..etc. He loves to learn, and we love teaching him.. left and right is what he is working on now. It's really cute that he loves to learn. His mother, on the other hand.. is fed up with learning.. I happily pass the torch on to him.
This morning I asked Jake if knew that it was Mothers day this weekend and if he was going to take me to lunch for Mothers day.. he flat out looked at me and said "No"..shocked at my sweet boys response I asked why not.. "I don't know how to drive, Mommy!" Good point..
Happy Mothers day to all the fabulous moms that we have in our lives..
