Almost every evening, Teacher Noemi, Teacher Linda W., and especially Teacher Linda C., like to tell tales on Jakey. To give them credit, they tell all of these tales like little giggly school girls. He SO has them wrapped around his little finger… First it was bagels. “Jakey tried to…
Sometimes I think about what the world would be like if adults acted like toddlers… at least my toddler. Yeah, yeah Ladies. I know you know lots of men that act like babies. But what if they really acted like real babies?: They would stand up in bed and yell…
Well, it looks like no one fell for my April Fool’s Joke… Darn it! J.I.G.2B.A.B.B stood for Jakey Is Going 2 Be A Big Brother. Good Guess Aunt Sara 🙂 And no, he’s not going to be a big brother. I’ve never been any good at pulling April Fool’s jokes……

I have a new weight loss plan. It involves feeding half of whatever I’m eating to the little monkey that follows me around like those seagulls in Junior High school. Last night I was eating a particularly child unfriendly meal. Crab cakes, red peppers stuffed with spicy goat cheese, and…
The other night, Mr. Grumplemoose reminded me of those career tests you take in high school and it got me thinking… what will Jakey be when he grows-up? Unfortunately for Jake, Laundry Unfolder is not yet recognized as a true occupation; however, he has shown an aptitude for several potential…
