Adam loves putting woodchips into the holes.

Jacob and Ty.

After taking the pictures of Adam and Daddy on the ball I found Jacob filling his tractor with gas (flour).

Funny hairdo after his bath.

Both boys woke up around 7am but they both quickly fell back to sleep. Jacob came into the bedroom shortly after 8am. He wanted me to lay in bed with him and turn the heater on. He was coughing so I asked him how he was feeling. He said, “not good, look, I need some ty-in-all (Tylenol)”. We went out to sit on the couch and watched Clifford. Adam woke up around 9am. The boys played on the floor with their cars and trucks. Adam climbed up on the couch and pointed at the sheep saying, “baa, baa”. Around 10:45 we left and headed over to the library. We went down to the lower level kids area. Adam really enjoyed getting books to bring to the table. Then he’d climb up on the chair and turn the pages of the book. He did not want me to read to him. I read many books to Jacob and he really enjoyed it. After each book I’d hear, “I wanna read that one again”. Jacob requested train, truck, and tractor books. After we had been there for about an hour, a lady came to let us know that today the library was closing at noon for training. We picked out several books to check out and take home with us. We had a nice time and I am looking forward to our next visit to the library. Outside the library, we sat at a picnic table to eat our lunch. Stopped at Tim Horton’s for coffee and got the boys each a Timbit. Then we headed to a nearby park. We sat in the woodchips by the playground and the boys enjoyed watching a tractor that was scooping dirt. Then they ran over to play on the climbing bars. Jacob met a boy his age and they had fun playing together. They sat next to each other on the blue step and "drove". Jacob always made sure they were buckled up. Ty said they were driving to play hide-n-seek. Jacob and Ty ran over to some big trees where they took turns counting and hiding. Every time, they’d hid behind the same big tree. Then they'd run back to drive on the blue step again. They also had fun playing “McDonalds” by the ladder. Adam had fun finding sticks and carrying handfuls of woodchips. He also loved playing on the snake shaped monkey bars. We stayed there until 2:30. When we got home Adam took a napped until 5pm. Jacob and I sat on the couch and read the books we had gotten at the library. Jacob spread his blanket out on the floor with a pillow, so he could lye there looking at books while he was resting. When Adam woke up we sat in the rocker and read a few books. Adam’s favorite book that we got today is called “Gossie” (we have the book “Gossie & Gerdie” which he also enjoys) and Jacob favorite two books are “Dig!” and “Digger Man”. Jacob played with the moon sand and Adam colored (watched the crayons as he dropped them to the floor) while I prepared dinner. Adam had just as much fun picking up the crayons as he did dropping them. Jacob saw me using the flour and asked to play with some. He liked flattening it out by rolling his blocks over it and he also loved how soft it is. He asked me to feel how soft it made his hands. Adam had fun bouncing on the exercise ball with Daddy. Adam would bounce along and then say “weeee” when he wanted Daddy to roll with him to the floor. He’d come right back to Daddy saying, “baw, baw (ball)”. A couple times before coming back to Daddy he’d run to smile right in Jacob’s face. While we waited for dinner in the oven, we went outside. Checked the garden and picked a few things. Jacob and I ran thru the tall corn. Jacob took off his flip flops so he could climb the wrong way up the slide. Adam asked to swing. The boys loved when Daddy pushed them on the swing really high. This evening Jared had a 2 hr orientation for an online class he is taking. As Jacob and I lay in his bed and talked about the day, he told me he wanted a trucks and tractor park. In the book “Digger Man” the boy makes a park that he calls his Digger park. Then Jacob named all the people he wanted to play at his park and wiggled as he said, “I’m so excited”.
