Another day with the boys

Joshua had a great morning. He ate 3 full size waffles and asked for a 4th - but he didn't eat the 4th. Not sure where he put that breakfast. Jacob went with me to take Joshua to church camp. Our only issues have been Joshua's need for independence. We ran later than I expected as he insisted on putting his clothes on all by himself. That was a little painful to watch when you needed to get out the door. Since we were running a little late, when we pulled in to the parking lot I told the boys to go ahead and work on getting their seat belts off. Jacob started to and Joshua put out his hand and screamed "Jacob, No! Not now". I said "Yes, Joshua please work on your seat belt" (because, as I said earlier he MUST do everything himself") and by that point I had pulled in to the parking spot and then Joshua announced "Okay, Jacob, now you can take your seat belt off".

Kind of hard to argue with a kid wanting to do the right thing.

We went in to church and straight to his room and he walked right in, said "Hi Miss Lori", put his lunchbox in his cubby and sat down to play cars. I didn't even get a "good bye, mom".

They talked about pigs, today. He made a pig snout that he could wear and painted "Joshua's little piggies".



Jacob had another good day. Not as hungry today, so he may be getting used to the activity a little bit more. There was no "big" project today. They learned about bunnies and owls today. Jacob tells me that "bunnies have lots of babies all the time" and that owl's poop is called "pellets" and he got to dig for pellets but he remembered to use hand sanitizer after he finished.

He had a great day. Lots to tell me. Tomorrow after we drop Joshua off at church we will take Zackary with us to Grandma and Papa Jack's house to hang out with Jacob until time for Cub Scout Camp. They both seem pretty excited about it and I think they will try to go to the pool for a bit.

This is Jacob after her got home - watching TV and having a snack - no surprises, there, right?
