Jacobisms

Just so I don't forget I wanted to write some of the isms Jake has these days....

He currently refers to Bailey (the dog) as his sister and says that he is her brother. One say maybe he will have a brother or a sister one day....

We love the way he prays at night and says " A-MEN" and "TWO-NIGHT " We all three laugh so hard.

When I am 5

Jake thinks that when he is 5 the world will change. He will be able to drink coffee, ride a motorcycle, pretty much anything he wants, its the magical age. So when he asks to do something and I say no his response is "when I am 5 I will be able to".

He also thinks of Santa Claus and God along the same lines. He thinks they are both watching and tells us sometimes that God told him he didn't have to do whatever I am asking.

He pretends a lot at this age.

A funny story this morning was after Jake and Josh went to church they had to stop by a couple of places to find a newspaper for me for coupons. After the 3rd store Jake says to Josh "Daddy, this is ridiculous" and he wanted to go home. LOL.

Josh will be getting braces in the coming weeks so we will see how that goes.

We are playing Elon this weekend and I am headed off to Atlanta for the week of Thanksgiving and hopefully App will get a bye that week and join me later in the week.

Cousins, Halloween and Soccer

All of the cousins together (Jake 3, Thea 1, TJ 4 days, Peyton 1)

Jake got his first soccer medal

Most of Jake's soccer team (missing Clara)

Jake and his good friend Paxton (who use to bite him when they were babies)

We went Trick or treating with our neighbor and good friend Emily and her daughter. This is Jake and Sydney at Emily's mom's house. Sydney was Olivia the pig. Have to laugh at Jake's pose.

Jake is lately into saying he has his listening ears on. On Halloween he got a ton of candy and grabbed a tootsie roll pop as we got in the car on the way back to the YMCA. I told him not to open it and he did anyway. I asked him why he did that and if his listening ears were on. His response was that his listening ears are asleep. lol. I told him he better wake them up if he wants to go trick or treating.

I have found Jake's personality to be in many ways like mine. He hates scary stuff and he can find "scary people" in almost every movie. So he will watch the movie once and want to move on to the next one, thanks to Netflix this is possible. He is not a very adventerous kid, very loving and sensitive as I have said many times before.

He loves his teachers, especially Ms. Lisa who is very sweet and Ms. Jeanne. We made snack mix this year for all of our neighbors kids and football kid friends as well as his teachers.

Jake has grown about a half inch since his 3rd birthday 3 months ago. He is learning his letters well. Every night before bed and after bath we read, go through his letter flash cards (he can recognize A-F (upper and lower case) right now along with the words on those cards. and then we each pray.
