Jacob came in bed with me around 7:30. We slept until Adam woke us up at 8:30. Truman had puked up a sock in the hallway this morning sometime so I cleaned that up. As I was lifting Adam to put him in his chair for breakfast I noticed he smelt stinky so I headed to change his diaper. On the way I saw Truman starting to puke. I tried to get him to puke on the kitchen floor but he pulled his collar off and ran away. Several puke spots all over the carpet and sheep rug to clean up. He puked a total of three socks. That took a while to clean up. In the meantime Jacob stripped out of his pj’s saying that they were a little wet. I called Jared to tell him what “his” dog had done and that I also had a poopy boy and a naked boy running around the house. He laughed and joked that he had to get back to his typing. Jacob wanted to pour the water on the stains. When Adam noticed what he was doing he came to me and said, “I awnt too (I want too)” Both of them liked helping me. Around the time Clifford comes on Adam pointed towards the TV and said, “Fifford”. We watched Clifford while eating breakfast. We also watched Sesame Street until Elmo’s World came on. Jacob turned that off because he doesn’t like if for some reason. I got out the art box and we had fun making rain sticks. I asked the boys if they wanted to use markers or crayons to decorate their papers. They both said, “markers”. I also turned on some music to listen to. While the boys decorated their papers, I cut papers to glue to the end of the paper towel tubes. I noticed Jacob making three dots on his paper – he connected them to make a triangle. I made some long snake shapes out of aluminum foil and spiraled them to stick down in the tubes. Then I helped the boys measure ¼ cup of dry rice and dump them in the tubes. Adam kept saying, “I do it”. I cut and glued another paper to the ends. Then we glued their decorated papers on. They also decorated them with stickers and I cut out some butterflies to glue on. Jacob still wanted to play with rice and glue, so I drew his name on a paper and he decorated that. When Jacob was all done I gave him another sheet of paper and asked him if he could write my name on it. He said, “uh huh” as he wrote Mom on the paper. Then he handed me it and said, “that’s for you, it says your name on it”. By the time we were finished it was lunchtime. After lunch Jacob sat at the counter and played with rice. Adam asked for a tractor and then wanted me to help him up to the counter. Then they had fun running around with their rain sticks and dancing to the music. Jacob piled a bunch of toys up in the hallway to build a house. We then played at the counter with the barn. Jacob was very kind with Adam and shared his toys. When Adam needed help, like hooking the trailer to the tractor, Jacob would quickly say, "I'll help you, here". At 2:30 I read with Adam and lay him down for a nap. Jacob and I read some books together. Then he continued playing with his barn and money while he rested. Jacob and Truman were cuddling on the bed together and he asked me to take a picture of them. Jacob said to me, “Mommy you know quarterback’s coming, let me show you”. Not sure what he meant but I guess the quarterback was in our kitchen. Jared called just before he was leaving work. He stopped at meijer on the way home and got stain remover (the first stain needs some resolve) and dry beans for the bean bags I'm making for the boys. Its very cold and windy outside. Adam slept until just before dinner. After dinner I finished knitting a beanbag for Jacob. He liked pouring in the beans. We all had fun playing catch with it and trying to throw it into the cart. Now I’ll start on Adam’s. The boys had fun pretending to be mailmen. They got a handful of note cards and had fun delivering the mail. Jacob has become very interested in words and how they are spelt. He gave me a couple of notecards and asked me to spell different words for him. Some of them he also traced. Then he liked pointing at words so I'd tell him what they were and I'd do the same to him. Jared started class tonight from 7:30-10pm. After the boys were tucked in bed I watched American Idol. Jacob had to sleep with his bean bag tonight.
