Hoping for a Normal Week!

Last week was rough! Here is hoping this week is more "normal", whatever that is!

Jacob had a good Monday at school. He did great, Michelle reported. Most of you know, but since August, Jacob has been at A Mother's Love Child Care Home, and it's just worked out to be a great situation for us. Michelle does preschool activities with the kids and is so good with Jacob, and has a son, Jason, who is nearly 4. Jason and Jacob get along pretty well. Even Michelle's husband, Scott, helps out and Jacob gets a kick out of Mr. Scott, too. It is so good to have quality childcare!

Tonight, we were supposed to go to Chick-Fil-A for Kid's Night with some other Triangle Mommies. I told Jacob in the car this morning that's what we'd be doing this evening. It works out well, because when Michelle is taking Jason as well, she just brings Jacob and I meet them at the CFA. So that was the plan tonight. Jacob was excited about tonight and said that he wanted to eat "tomatoes." I said, "well, you'll get your chicken nuggets, your fruit, and your milk." And he said, "and mommy will get a salad." That made me laugh. I suppose the tomatoes he was talking about were the ones on my salad! He also said about 3 times this morning, "I have a good day," meaning he was going to have a good day.

As it turned out, Jacob must have been pretty tired today at school, and felt a little warm, so we canceled our plans for CFA tonight. Jeff had his meeting for work tonight and Jacob wanted to look at pictures and videos from our trip on the laptop. He loves doing that and even request them by name, "Papa's Cane," where he parades around with my grandfather's cane, or "Tigger's Tail," when he pulls Tigger's tail, or "Alice Scary," where my Aunt Alice snuck up on him and would say, Boo! and Jacob just thought that was hilarious. He seemed okay tonight, so as long as all goes well, we'll send him to school tomorrow.

He's also currently obsessed with the Blue's Clues book, "Green Puppy Goes to the Dentist," that we got at the library on Saturday. I know we have read it to him at least 2-3 times a DAY since then!
