Jacob has had a fun summer. He loves other children and will happily try to make friends and play chase. He has also enjoyed a few trips to the splash park.
And he loves animals.....on evening walks he will stop to chat up dogs, birds, cats and rabbits, but our neighbor's tiny hyper puppy is a clear favorite. Jacob even made friends with Ms. Nicole's dog, Knox.......even poor Knox had to take a break from our hyper boy. Also, Knox may have suffered permanent hearing loss from all the squealing and we may never be invited over to Ms. Nicole's house again.
This summer Jacob has also become a master at stalling. As soon as he realizes that the sun is setting, Jacob will run to get his shoes and sweetly ask to water the flowers or take a walk outside.
Several times now, Jacob and Dada have pulled out the stomp rocket and Jacob goes bonkers! He shrieks at decibels heard only by animals.
Jacob is more then happy to point out the red tomatoes and even to pick them (along with the slightly orange tomatoes). He is also very happy to unroll the hose because he knows he will be able to run under the water. Then we get the clippers and clip off the spent blooms on the rose bushes.
And as a last ditch effort, Jacob will bring out the bubbles.
We really love being outside on the mild summer evenings. Our neighbors all know Jacob as the kid that has been walking the neighborhood since he could walk!
