Jacob Stories

warning: if you aren't a grandma or auntie, this blog post may bore you!

Here are a few of the things that Matt and I have noted in the last week or two that we wanted to make sure we don't forget. We thought you might enjoy hearing them as well.

New favorite activity: making and playing in "houses" aka: forts

New favorite food: edamame. We're not totally sure if it is the soybeans themselves, or the joy of pushing them out that makes this a favorite - but we're happy to have such a healthy favorite at the moment!

Funny Phrases:
"alligator" for elevator. ex: Mommy, Jakey push buttons on alligator?
"worked/working" for broken. ex: Mommy, it's working....where's batteries?

Funny reasoning: We went to Starbucks the other day and Matt and I decided to share a latte. It was very close to naptime (we were certain Jacob would fall asleep in the car) so Jacob didn't get a "treat" such as chocolate milk or juice. He got water. He wasn't very thrilled with this, and was trying to convince us that he needed some chocolate milk. Finally he says "I too little for water!" Mmmhmm?? What a funny kid...

Funny connection: After church on Sunday, we went to costco and then wanted to grab a quick (drive thru) lunch before Jacob fell asleep. We were trying to keep Jacob awake, so we were singing songs. He was choosing the songs - mostly "Old MacDonald". Matt started asking where we should stop for lunch. Jacob's answer? "EIEIO house"....you know....Old MacDonald's? For those of you who don't see the connection, apparently "Old MacDonald's/EIEIO house" is where you can get a happy meal.
