More New Tricks...

Jacob is keeping us on our toes and learning new tricks. His latest is opening his dresser drawer and emptying it. Then he likes to do a celebratory touchdown-like dance and parade and stomp all over the clothes he just emptied out of his dresser. He is very proud of his handy work.

Jacob also learned how to clean the toilet. We usually leave the bathroom door shut to keep Jacob from unrolling the remaining toilet paper off the roll, but sometimes we forget. When we forget to keep the door closed, we at least hope we remembered to keep the toilet seat down. On this particular day, we (I) forgot to do both. So while I am busy folding laundry I suddenly realize Jacob is being quiet. I sneak up on him in the bathroom to find that he unrolled the entire toilet paper roll and put it ALL in the toilet. What is worse is that he didn't just 'place' it in there and let it be, he was splashing around, pulling it in and out, making a huge, wet, gross mess. Who knows, maybe he was just trying to clean the toilet for me?

Despite his naughty behavior, we purchased a play kitchen for him for Christmas, much to Aaron's chagrin. Since assembling the kitchen though, Aaron has come around, because he instantly realized how much Jacob LOVES it. He played with it all night and then after he fell asleep we hid it. That is one of the nicest things about Christmas with an 18month old, we can shop, assemble and wrap his gifts right in front of him and then he is STILL surprised on Christmas morning.

Guess that is about all for now. Tomorrow we have an OB appointment and then we are taking Jacob and Noah to get some pictures taken together. Wish us luck, I'm sure we will need it!
