So yesterday we went to visit Jacob's possible kindergarden classes for next year. He came with Joshua and I two years ago when Joshua was about to start school. Jacob was only 2 1/2. But one thing you should know about Jacob is that the boy lovessss candy!! So needless to say, he was really looking forward to getting a bag of candy like Joshua did when he went. Because you better believe Jacob remembered that part of the visit! I had even forgotten but then he reminded me about how Joshua had shared some with him. (2 years ago!!) So as you can imagine, things change in two years time. When Daddy asked him at dinner if he was excited about school he said no and continued to tell him it was because he didn't get candy like Joshua did. Hey, the kids got his priorities.
It was also Daddy's birthday. On the way home from the school visit, Jacob reminded me how he wanted to get Daddy some presents. Birthdays are really about the kids, even when it is our birthdays. They like to see people open presents on their birthdays. He said he had the best present there was. It was right here. As a looked in the rearview mirror, I saw him with his arms crossed- "a hug" he said. How cute is he?
He may be 43 (Don't tell him I told you that.) but he still keeps up with the kids.
Of course, for Daddy's birthday I got myself a little gift too.
You won't find that cake at the grocery store. Fredericks "Yum O"
