Jacob is 3 today!

My little boy is 3 today! We started our morning out with Paul, James and I going into Jacob's room singing "Happy Birthday to you..." He immediately started crying and told us that we scared him. So sensitive that one! Once he calmed down we proceeded downstairs to open up presents. He opened a tractor from James and then opened his present from us which was a small water tank with 2 mini African Frogs in it. He totally loved them! We told Jacob he should name them and he pondered for a little bit and then said "Pants." We said, "Okay, should the big one or the little one be named Pants?" He said, "The big one." So, then we asked what the little one should be named. He said "Little Pants" Paul said, "Little Pants, so do you mean shorts?" Jacob said, "Yes, Shorts." So, we now have our two little frogs, Pants and Shorts. LOL!
Next, we had Pancakes for breakfast (I'd been asking Jacob for weeks what he wanted for his bday and every time he said pankcakes). So, today I made them special by adding sprinkles to them and of course, 3 candles on top! What a fun morning. Tonight, we're going to take Jacob to see a movie. Fun fun. I can't believe my little baby is 3!

Jacob's been making us laugh so much these days. He's so silly and is always trying to get a laugh. Here are a few things that he's said lately...

* When he goes to the bathroom, he tells us, "Don't play with my trains while I'm going potty."

*I've been telling Jacob for the last couple of weeeks not to touch the potty because of germs. The other day, I told him again to not touch and he said "why, because of worms?" :)

* Every time Jacob "toots" he says, "excuse me" And not quietly or discretely but super loud and multiple times. It doesn't matter where we are. The other day he shouted across the whole pool at swimming lessons, "Excuse Me!" So embarassing!

(How bad is it that the first 3 things all have to do with the bathroom or going potty)?

*Jacob loves the shower so much that lately every time he takes one, he takes it until the hot water runs out.

*I always call Jacob "Sweetie boy" so he now calls me "Mommy boy"

*He also thinks it's so funny when he gives James a ride on his shoulders!

Happy birthday to my silly and adorable little Jacob!
