Jake Joke
Tonight at the dinner table, Jakey told me his very first joke: Mama, what do cats say when they get hurt? Meeeoooooouch. It was hilarious. Guess you had to be there.

Admittedly, I’ve always been unsympathetic to what I’ll call Mom Frump. Jeans with white Reeboks. Scrunchies. Headbands. You’ve seen their pictures in Glamour magazine— unsuspecting moms sporting fashion faux pas and black bars over their eyes. Just because you have kids doesn’t mean you grab your appliqued sweatshirt, slip-on your…
Just Right
Every night at bedtime we have an elaborate routine that begins with bath time and ends with “talking yes-ter-day.” Talking yesterday is basically going over what we did yesterday. The last few nights Jake has changed it up and now likes me to tell him a story and then he…
Dinosoar
On Sunday we went to Jakey’s friend Brady’s third birthday party at the Children’s Discovery Museum. It was all about dinosaurs, those little roll-up party horns and unnatural colors of frosting. After we got hopped-up on sugar and paraphernalia dinosauria, we decided to check-out the museum. Jake’s favorite stop was…

It started with him laying on his side to look up at us. It was so funny— like a little super model posing for the camera with a hand behind his head and the other on his hip. Then he started dragging his little legs behind him. And finally he…

This week we got a flier with Jacob’s first pre-school assignment. I thought I had at least another two years before I’d have homework hanging over my head again… So, instead of blogging I should be creating a poster that is all about Jake’s life up until this point. James…
6 Tooth
James has been checking my blog visit analytics and apparently one of my highest hits is for “tooth chart for children.” Number 1 is “weimaraners dressed as people”… go figure. So here I am, juking the stats for more visits from total strangers who will hopefully become hopelessly obsessed with…
Son Fun
Last weekend Jacob and I were learning and practicing the concept of rhyming. Bee, Tree. Log, Frog. He’s been quite the fan of repeating, “Yummy in my tummy!” ten gazillion times— one of those catch phrases he brought home from school. So, I ask him, “What rhymes with Jake?” Without…
