Day One Hundred and Six.

Ella has a bow for every outfit. She wears them well...and generally gets a lot of compliments on them...quickly followed by "how is it stuck on there?!" Well...the secret is... it is stuck on with a plain old school grade glue stick. Non toxic...sticks them in really well, she can't get them off (though I don't let her sleep with them in just in case) and they come off with just a little water.

Day One Hundred and Five.

Here is Jacob's bed......here is where Jacob went to sleep. Oh three year olds...... They are a special kind of little person.

Day One Hundred and Four.

Ella's first morning at the park! She LOVES the swings and has the sweetest little giggle when she gets going.

Day One Hundred and Three

Ben made a very detailed toy catalog for "Ben's Store" and then built his store front fand merchandise for Jake and Ella to go shop in. He had a "Grand opening" and he was very proud of his creation. Jake was very exited to buy some new toys in his own living room!

Day One Hundred and Two.

I woke up to Jacob screaming in his room "NOOOOOO!!!!!! LET HIM GOOOO! PLEASE JUST LET HIM GOOOO!" I ran in to see what the hysterics were about and he was banging and crying at his window. I looked down to see Robins plucking worms from the ground and flying away with them hanging out of their mouths. Poor devastated Jacob just sobbed. My tender hearted  little guy. He is still not over it.

Day One Hundred and One.

The boys were on the stairs looking through a playmobil catalogue for the 10th time. Jacob is stuck on the garbage truck (that he already has) and says "I want another dumpa" And Ben...hearing the promps from speech therapy keeps says so sweetly to him "Jakey you need to remember your "S" sound. I think you are saying DumpTH-TER but I can't be sure if you don't use all your sounds,  use your "Ethththth" sound" because of course he doesn't say the sound correctly either! I love stumbling across their cuteness when they think I am not there.

Day One Hundred.

I have been trying to get Jake off of his addiction to rice milk. He will drink a box a day and it is an expensive habit...not only for the actual cost of the milk but also for the dental bill in the ...gulp....thousands (yes. thousands...) that we just had. It would seem that when dentists recommend giving up bottles and milk before this age...they are serious. But Jakey...just loves them so much! I have not bought any milk since his dental surgery but he found a box in the back of a kitchen cupboard to his great delight. He was SO excited I couldn't help but give him ooooooone little bottle of milk....but he brushed his teeth straight afterwards!
