Random things

A few things I want to remember

The sweet
- Anna now wants to help me put Jacob to bed at night. She sings "Jesus loves me" and does prayers with him. She rubs his back the whole time trying to get him to sleep, it is the sweetest thing to see. I think she actually thinks she is older than him. She is such a little mommy. Jacob's a good sport even though half the time he's rolling his eyes. He knows after I get Anna to bed I'll sneak in and give him a "big boy" goodnight.

- I was doing something the other day and Jacob came over and gave me a hug. He said, "I'm really proud of you mom".

- He is such a genuinly sweet child.

- When he started school this year I told him a couple times to make sure he was always nice to Everyone and never makes anyone feel sad. He gets in the car everyday and tells me he was nice to everyone and talks about his day. I think he really goes out of his way to be around every child and be nice to them. For those of you who know me this is a dream come true. I can't stand people to be mean for no reason, even toddlers (I have SO been "that" mom who defends thier child on the playground, mom vs. random kid).
The flip side to this of course is that he is sensitive and if he thinks someone is being mean to him he gets really upset.
No worries, with Anna around he'll have plenty of practice with "bullies":)

The Funny
- We have had a little bit of trouble with Jacob blurting out whatever comes to mind, now it was Anna's turn
- we were at the store today and someone had a child on one of those leashes (that's kind of like a backpack). Anna screams out "Look mommy, a doggy". Thank goodness it was an older sibling holding the "leash" and she started dying laughing. The poor child being "walked" (who was probably older than Jacob) did not think it was very funny. It was actually hilarious!!!
