This morning I gave Jacob a empty coffee can, some cheerios and his toy tractors to play with at the table. He had lots of fun scooping up cheerios and dumping them in the can. I took Adam to his bedroom to change his diaper and Jacob ran into his bedroom. He wanted me to come in there and asked me to put Adam on his bed. He climbed up next to him and then decided to use Adam's arm as a phone. I went shopping this morning at Salvation army. I found out they have really small carts for two kids. The carseat with Adam wouldn't fit in the cart, so I had to set his carseat on the handles and Jacob in the basket. It was hard for me to see Jacob so I pulled the cart from the front. I gave Jacob a couple books to look at while I was shopping and Adam slept the whole time. Found some good shirts and couple pair of jeans for Jacob for 50 cents a piece. Also found a nice 5 x 7 frame. Jacob had a bolonie and cheese sandwich for lunch. He likes to take it apart and eat it all separate. He took his cheerios out of the coffee can and put one piece on each piece of his sandwich and said, "Mama look". Had a thunder storm while Jacob was laying down for his nap. He called me in the room and said, "Mama, dat" while pointing at the window. I told him that was thunder, gave him a kiss, and told him night night. He said, "Night night, love you". He slept for a couple hours. I went in his room and he pointed at the window and said, "tunder".

OK, Kimmy, make special note of what you wrote today: he put a Cheerio on each piece of bread. This is Jacob making a one-to-one correspondence! This skill is fundamental for mathematics and counting. He is building a sense of number that will lead to his ability to UNDERSTAND numbers (and just to parrot the number names). Circle this day on the calendar!!!!
"and NOT just to parrot the number names" is what I meant to type. My mind was moving faster than my fingers.
Yes, FASTER, not slower.
