Boys Will Be Boys


Things are looking up...it's Monday and no one needs to go to the doctor! No, but really, after the few months we've had this is something to be happy about. Jacob seems to be feeling much better. We aren't sure which of the recent changes has helped, but he has been sleeping for 11 hrs straight for the past several days! I can't say how wonderful this is. I don't want to jinx anything, but even just knowing that it's possible at this point is great. I love the extra sleep and I love that he is growing up well and reaching these milestones. But I have to admit that it's hard to know that he doesn't really *need* Mama in the middle of the night anymore (even if he still might want me there sometimes). Now if we could only move his wake-up time forward an hour from 5:30 a.m., we would be set! As you can see from the photo above he was a happy boy this weekend. Micah is showing off his acrobatic skills on the couch next to an empty bowl that once contained his favorite snack--apples with peanut butter! Next weekend Jacob will be dedicated at church so we took a trip to Hot Springs to buy a nicer outfit for him to wear and we also visited Sam's Club, which Micah now calls the "big, big" store. We managed to make it out of there without purchasing a giant container of fluorescent orange cheese puffs! When you live in a small town and have little children, it's a big deal just to go somewhere else for the afternoon so we all enjoyed that.
