Jacob coloring. Then he added garbage bags to the back.

Daddy, the steam roller.

Adam woke up at 8am. We sat in his bedroom for a while playing with the kitchen things. He likes to prepare me foods and always asks, "Is it too hot?" When I say yes he takes my plate, puts it in the freezer (microwave), and sets the timer. Adam asked, “Why’s Jacob not awake?” Soon Jacob walked into the bedroom and Adam asked, ‘You awake Jacob?” We watched Clifford during breakfast. After breakfast Jacob sat at the little table to color with markers. Adam played with the fishing puzzle. Then the boys made a fire truck using the couch and some other things. We had fun pretending in that. Jacob did lots of nice drawings and coloring this morning. Both boys liked having me draw them some different trucks which they colored. I packed much of Adam’s 2T clothes away and I also worked on laundry. After lunch we played in Jacob’s house. Jacob said, "I love the baby." He also said that my belly is getting bigger because the baby is growing, and growing, and growing as he moved his hands apart further. Time seems to be going by fast with this pregnancy. I am already 16 wks and have an ultrasound in a week. Also I can feel the baby moving now. I lay Adam down for a nap around 2:30. Jacob rested while drawing with markers. He folded some papers and made Daddy and I each a book. I did a 30 min run and then sat down to play with Jacob. Then he wanted to dance and showed me his cool moves which included many somersaults. I got potatoes peeled and ready to boil for dinner. Adam woke up and watched Jacob and I played the computer construction game. Jared got home around 5pm. He helped me get clothes packed away into the crawlspace. The boys went down there too for a little while. After dinner Jacob and I went thru his new High Fives magazine together. Adam sat with us for some of it too. Then we played a little board game that came with it. The boys were running up and down the hallway pretending to be flying with parachutes. Daddy pretended to be a steamroller and rolled across the floor with the boys. They sure thought that was funny. Adam’s been doing great on the potty. He tells us, “I peeing” when he has to use the potty (even for pooping). He usually has a very small amout in his underware but mostly goes on the potty. He has also been wearing underware during his naps and staying dry. One of the books we read at bedtime was “Where the Wild Things Are.” Jacob said almost every word with me as we read it tonight. The last page he likes to read by himself as he points to each word saying, "And it was still hot."

Jacob's tractor drawings. The first tractor is planting a field.
