AMAZING....

OK, so I have some more stories to post. I'm not good about writing stuff down in the baby book, so this is where I do it. So please! Humor me...

Story 1)
Brian, myself, Jake and Brian's parents are all sitting down for dinner. Jake finishes before us and gets up to play. He puts on Mimi's (Brian's mom, otherwise known as Freda) shoe and starts talking about it.
Then he puts it on backwards and looks up at Mimi and says "Backwards?"
Mimi thinks this is pretty cool. She praises him for knowing that it is backwards and then says, "Oh Jake, sometimes you amaze me..."
To which Jake promptly replies, "AMAZING!"

Story 2)
Brian, Jake and I are sitting down playing while the news is on. Well a commercial comes on about HBO that has a bunch of movie clips and a clip from Cars comes on. Jake sees it and starts asking to see cars.
Then he says, "Coming? Coming?"
I don't really answer him because I'm trying to get his mind off of it and onto something else, when he says "Coming soon?"
Where do they get this stuff!?

Story 3)
Jake's potty training is going well. I never expected him to be using the potty at all at this point, so the fact that he likes to use it some is great! So the other morning when he woke up, I asked if he wanted to go potty. He said yes, so I took him in there and he went. I praised him for it, and asked if he was done, but he said no. So I waited....and waited. I asked if he was done, and again he said no. This happened 2 more times, so I said "OK, I'll be right back and you call me when your done..." About a minute later I went to check on him and the bathroom door had been pushed shut (not totally closed). I opened the door to ask him if he was done, but he interrupted me with "Close it!" I was like, "OK...." Then a few moments later I hear, "Mommy, downstairs?" I ask if he's done, he tells me yes. I then look and see he's gone number 2. I'm proud! But, when did privacy become a factor for a 2 year old!? Wow...

Story 4)
Brian and I took Jake to the beach pool at Stonebridge today. We were having a blast, and got out for a break. Jake saw a little girl playing with a bucket in the sand and wanted to do the same, so I gave him his bucket and he went for the shore. Then all of a sudden, he drops the bucket and goes out into the water. Brian and I call for him to come back, but he doesn't listen. So Brian runs after him and gets to him, just as his head goes under and he's literally floating under the water! Good grief! I don't want him to be scared of the water...but a little respect for it might be nice! He coughed, spat and begged for more! FEARLESS!!!!


I wish we could take these moments and put them directly from our brains and onto video! It just all goes by so fast. I can't believe how much he is changing and how smart he's becoming. Ahhh, the moments come and go, never to be seen again. Well, at least I have my trusty blog! And at least you can share in the moments with me!
