Jacob

Now that Jacob goes to school he is experiencing new things. I can tell the things what things he finds interesting or enjoys because he reenacts them at home. So far he has really liked PE. He has set up different running courses and "classes" for him, Jack and Amelia to do. He also really liked the talent show at his school. The night following the show he put on his own talent show. Of course Jack and Amelia got in on the act. All of them just kinda jumped around but it was something they all enjoyed. The newest experience Jacob has liked is getting his picture taken. Today was class pictures with individual spring pictures. This afternoon he set up a "background" in his room so he could take a group picture and then individuals of Jack, Amelia and me. After he took our pictures he told me he wants to take one of Dad too. He can be a very interesting kid, what can I say.

Amelia

Amelia has named all of her animals and baby that she sleeps with Chico. I believe it is after the neighbors dog that we walked one weekend while they were away. She has a baby Chico, kitty Chico, and doggie Chico. It is  pretty silly name for a baby but she likes it and can remember it.

Building

The boys love to build things, forts mostly. In the playroom they build elaborate forts with multiply rooms and secret doors. Every Wednesday it gets cleaned up because I vacuum in there but almost immediately something else is put up.  Amelia is not big enough to build something herself but loves to play in the forts with the boys or I build her one of her own. I think they may be more interested in Legos if they weren't allowed to build with blankets, pillows and couch cushions.
