Lots and Lots of Jake Jargon...

Seeing Santa: Jake was SO excited to Santa this year! He couldn't wait to tell him that he wanted a "clone trooper helmet that makes his voice a different version" (clone trooper voice changer helmet, but for any of his relatives who have any ideas, Santa is already bringing it)! We saw Santa and he was reluctant for about a second, until Santa said "Hey there big guy, give me five! Come here, Santa's not gonna hurt you, Santa LOVES you to death." At which point Santa picked him up and Jake was smiling from ear to ear! He was so nice. I just love Santa!


Jake was taking a bath and wanted to know if I was going to take one too. I told him no, that I take mine in the mornings. He keeps going on as to 'why' and I keep trying to come up with some new reason that will satisfy him, when he says "Are you not stinky?"

Jake wouldn't go to sleep one night. After an hour of fighting with him about it, Brian and I were at the end of our ropes. So I'm sitting down on his bed, having a talk. I'm telling him that it's important for boys to go to sleep and grow strong, and why won't he just close his eyes and go to sleep? Jake looks at me with his arms out, and very seriously says, "Because... God just made me that way!"

I was putting Jake to bed and we were talking.
Jake: When I'm big and have a baby I could sleep in that room (pointing to my and Brian's room)
Me: Oh yeah? And where would the baby sleep?
Jake: Here! (pointing to his bed) But with my blanket!
Me: You would have your blanket, or the baby would have your blanket?
Jake: ME! Because it's MY blanket!!! (He had his hands out and turned up, as if to say, duh?)

Aunt Sharon was playing football with Jake. She was trying to get him to catch it, but he kept putting his hands up to high. So she said "Here Jake, put them next to your belly button." So from then on, every time he got ready to catch the ball, he would lift his shirt up, look at his belly button, put his arms next too it and catch the ball that way!
