Jake Quotes of the Day

Ben had his eye appointment this morning and he has to go back to wearing his patch for 1 hour every day because his eyesight slipped a little over the last three months when he didn't have to patch. He also had to get his eyes dilated and he mentioned a few times tonight that his eye was hurting him. When Ben sat in a chair in the kitchen rubbing his eye, Jake noticed and said, "Ben eye hurt kiss it" and he went over and kissed Ben's eye. 

At indoor soccer today, Drew and Ben kicked their ball such that it was stuck in the net above the wall where they couldn't reach it. When Chris went over to help, Jake said, "Yay Daddy. Get Drew Ben ball dowwwwwn!"

Two Little Jake Things

"Jake, do you want another bite of your oatmeal?" "Second, Mommy, read book."

"Jake come over here so I can change your diaper." "Just second, Mommy."

This "just a second" stuff is so cute - we just need to teach him when it's ok and when he needs to come right away!

Jake loves for us to read to him more than anything. When he sits in my lap to read, he almost always holds on to my right wrist (and sometimes my left) for the whole book. When I reach to turn the page, his hand keeps holding on. If I reach to scratch my face or something, he keeps holding on. I wish it would last forever!
