Funny Things They Say
A few months ago I told Marley she would be getting a flu shot in the morning. Jake got his a couple of weeks ago. She was a bit worried about her shot. Jake: "It will be ok Marley. I can hold your hand if you want."
I love that. It makes me smile every time I hear Jake wanting to protect or take care of Marley.
Sure enough, Jake talked her through her fears on the way to the doctor's office and was right next to her the entire time.
When we named Jake we decided to go ahead and make his legal name Jakob. My intention was always to call him Jake. I've been surprised at how many people regularly refer to him as Jakob - his sister and his best friend to name two.
So the other day I asked him, "Do you like being called Jake or Jakob better?"
Jake: "Jake...or Fish"
Jared won an ipad at a surgical conference back in September. He supposedly gave it to me, but my kids have really taken over. I have a thing about t.v. and video games. They are fine in MODERATION. I would prefer none at all but that is kind of unrealistic. Plus I think they'd just go to their friends houses to get their fill. The other day Jake wanted to watch a show on the ipad. I told him that he couldn't. (He'd had what I thought was enough t.v. that day.) A few minutes later I overheard him talking on his pretend cell. "Hi Santa. My mom isn't nice with her ipad. Will you please not bring her presents. I have been good, could you bring me my own ipad with games on it like my mom's? Ok, thanks Santa. Bye."
