So Jacob, pictured here talking to his brother, has decided that he needs to join Theo in Theos's crib each morning for a few minutes. Theo loves having company. This goes on for a few minutes until Jacob gets overexcited and starts jumping around and comes a little too close to landing on Theo's head. That's when daddy takes Jacob out.
Jacob has also got us trained in his night-time routine. After bath/shower time is over we read a book or two. Then the lights are turned off and Jacob asks/demands 'stay five minutes' then we let him pick either mommy or daddy. At that point the unchosen party departs and the lucky parent gets to lay down next to Jacob in his big boy bed.
Jacob then immediately says "talk about shewel" or school (he's still struggling with the letter combinations. We then spend the next five minutes discussing either his day at school, the last time he was at school, or the next time he gets to go to school. We cover his friends at school, of course the teachers, and then we talk about the different things he does at school. Sometimes he'll lean in real close, (nose to nose) and say, 'Hi Daddy'. I truly treasure this time because neither of us can be distracted by anything else. We can just talk and talk... Believe me, this kid can talk...
Its pretty clear he likes school a lot. I wonder how long that will last.
