Jake Lost His First Tooth

Jake lost his first tooth today! He was eating leftover ribs from Shane's, but he said it came out when he pushed it with his tongue.

Jax and Kate

Kate got her learner’s permit!

She scored 100 on the signs portion and 85 on the rules.

Hi Jax

How a wiggle worm reads a chapter book

That leg was going up and down, up and down.

Jake’s first chapter book

This guy just finished his first chapter book. I assigned home 1-2 chapters per day, he read them quickly, and he answered comprehension questions to prove he understood what he was reading. He's been very capable for a while but was reluctant because of the lack of pictures. 

Jake doing his math. Jax just looked up at me like “help!”

Drew and Jake

Drew and Jake were cuddling at Drew's request (because Jake is a world class cuddler) and after a while, Jake said, "Drew, you smell like chicken fingers and green beans!"

Important note: We have consumed neither chicken fingers nor green beans today.

The things Jake asks in the car

Today's installment: How do you tell the difference between boy babies and girl babies? 

I clarified that he was talking about humans.

We circled him around to answer his own question and there was lots of embarrassed giggling. 

Jake's Marriage Plans

About a month ago: 

Jake: When I grow up, I'm going to marry Kate!

Us: Kate is in your family - you can't marry someone in your family!

Jake: Ok. I'll marry Annelise then.

Us: Annelise is in your family too!

Jake: Ok. I guess I'll marry Reagan.

Us: You can't marry a dog, Jake!

Jake: (sigh) I don't know who I'm going to marry!! 

Jake Quotes

Ben brought a game with questions for deep thinking. One of the questions was "What's the best/most important thing your parents have taught you?"

Ben asked this question on two separate days. Jake's first response (without hesitation): "How to shoot a basketball!" Jake's response on the second day: "Not to shoot with two hands!"

Mmmmm, meat

Jake just got Kate’s old bed

So it's an all boy sleepover.

Crazy soccer hair

Jake and soccer

Playing one on on with Jake at Gsa. He has the ball while I am goalie. He beckons me over while saying "come and get it, son".

Thanks
