So, just when you think the last few days have been interesting enough with all of Jacob's new discoveries he throws a couple more in for good measure. Here are his two newest budding talents:
1. Driving -- it seems Jacob has learned how to drive. Or at least he thinks he has. He has become an extremely outspoken back seat driver within the last couple of days! He tells us when to go, when to stop, points out the color of the traffic lights, and attempts to tell us where to turn. When we do not follow his directions he can get quite upset! So, now we have the youngest one trying to tell us where to drive and the elder two monitoring our speed and frequently checking to find out, "are you going the speed limit?" There's nothing like having a car full of drivers everywhere you go!
2. Art - Today Jacob demonstrated his new-found artistic talent by drawing a pencil sketch over a 2 X 3 foot area of our living room wall. He apparently had quite a bit of time to hon his skills before Abby discovered his work in progress. She kindly alerted the family by yelling, "Jacob!" in her most exasperated and frenzied tone! When I walked into the room Jacob clearly knew something was wrong since he immediately put his little head down and refused to look directly at me. I hate to think that my reprimand ("Jacob, you may not write on the walls!") may be squashing his creative expression; however, I have determined that I am just not that into creativity at the sake of my living room walls!
Ahhh.... what will tomorrow bring?
