Jacob's Grumpy Evening

During the night we heard Truman barking so Jared went out to get him. Then we heard Kate barking so he went out to get her too. They have been staying out the the barn stall while Uncle Dee is visiting because it is more peaceful that way. Woke Jacob up at 5:30am because we had to leave a little early to pick up Jareds car at my Mom's. Jacob cried when I left Aunt Missy's house. He has been doing that lately when I leave. After work Mel and Bruce brought him to my work and then we headed home. Jacob was in a crabby mood. He started by wanting my cherished teddy tractor collectible on the shelf which he cannot play with. Then he didn't want Daddy to touch the book he was looking at. He looked at both of his Dr Seuss books being very gentle with the pages. He went around the room touching everything he knew he was not supposed to touch like the lamp and the stone coasters. I didn't like having to tell him no for everything he touched. I thought he must not have had a very long nap today. Daddy played a song on the piano and Jacob played along with him. Then I sat him on the bench and he played going from one end of the bench to another. He threw a fit when he had to get down off the bench. Jared made chicken fried rice with very young chicks (just eggs). Jacob wanted pink lemonaide like the rest of us so I pored some in a sippy cup. He doesn't usually get juice so I let him have a treat. He wanted to feed himself so I got him a another spoon. He ended up throwing his spoon and juice on the floor, mad that he couldn't drink our lemonaide. So I got him cleaned up and took him to get his pj's on. He started his touching things he knows he is not suppose to again, so we decided it was time to read books and go to bed early. He was in bed by 8:30pm. I was sad he had to go to bed but he needed the sleep. I talked to Mom on the phone and she said Melissa told her that Jacob was very good at her place today but he didn't get his naps in. Hence the testing mood he was in. We had a nice time chating with Uncle Dee.
