I woke up around 8am and read a book until the boys were awake. They woke up at 9am. Truman puked in the hallway. Jacob was sitting on the couch with me and saw Truman’s puke and said, “me wanna go tee it”. Then he said, “no me wanna stick me pinger in it, that would be ewe”. He then looked at me and said, “me go tee Tru Tru, say, ewe ok?” Then Truman puked in the kitchen and Jacob said, “uh oh I gotta go get me tractor – clean it up”. After I cleaned it up he rode his tractor over it and smiled at me. While we were eating breakfast Jacob looked at the TSC catalog that was sitting on the table. He turned it to the page with several tractors on it and said to me, “say, which one do you like?”. I asked him which one he liked and he point to one and said, “I like that one”. Adam went into Jacob’s room and pulled books off the bookshelf and Jacob read me a book. He started out each page saying “once pon a time”. I don’t know where he got that because most of his books don’t start out that way. Then Adam went into his bedroom and played with his barn and Little People toy basket. He likes to check each thing that he pulls out carefully, turning it over. Jacob spread out his blanket and played in the living room with his cars. Adam soon came out to be out by us so I got out a toy basket of toys he hasn’t played with in a while – that kept him entertained while I played with Jacob. Then I turned some music on and we danced and sang to the music. Adam started bouncing as soon as he heard the music and then came crawling over for me to pick him up. He reached out to touch the cd player. Jacob’s favorite song is “This Little Light of Mine”. After snack time Jacob walked around the kitchen looking for something. He said, “uh oh where me righ?” I wasn’t sure what he was asking for until he took me to the cupboard and pointed to the bag of rice in there. We played with rice and Adam played with blocks. Jacob likes when I pretend its raining rice on his tractor. He takes and covers his tractor with several measuring cups. Then we sat down on the floor with Adam and tried to see how high we could build them before he knocked them down. It was 36 degrees out and sunny so I got the boys bundled up and we went for a walk down the road. Jacob thought it was funny when two of our barn cats followed us. We’d stop walking to see Adam smiling in the stroller. We talk to him and told him about all the things we were seeing. Jacob would rub Adam’s face as he talked to him in a soft voice. Jacob really wanted to see the garbage truck that was at the end of our road but it was long gone by the time we got there. Jacob saw a little bike in our neighbors yard and said, “look at dat bike”. Then he said, “no me can’t play with dat, nope – I got one dem at me home”. When we got back home Jacob played in his sand while I played peek-a-boo with Adam. Jacob found some money on our porch and put it in his pocket. When we got inside he wanted to put it in his bank. Then he emptied his bank and wallet to count his money. Adam took a nap. Jacob rested for about 30min and then we played together until Daddy came home. Daddy came home a little early and we went into town for a few things. Walked around Salvation army and Jacob really liked this little pocket bible they had there. Mom’s birthday is tomorrow so are having family over for cake and ice cream to celebrate. Had to pick up some things for that. Got some paint from Home Depot to paint our chicken coop. It is going to be mostly red with some white. We got home in time for dinner. I got Jacob his little pocket bible out that he had got for his dedication. He loves to turn the pages. We watched Bob the Builder. When I was reading Adam and we got to the animal page I asked him “where’s the fish”. He quickly turned his head to the fish tank and smiled. Jacob ran over and pointed to the fist in the book. I cleaned up the house for tomorrow after the boys were in bed. Tomorrow I will vacuum and Jacob can help me make a couple cakes.
