Good thing I warned people ahead of time. This blog is solely intended for me to talk ad nauseum about my family...see the header at the top of the page?
Anyway, I have to write about one of the cutest things I've ever seen. This morning when the "greeter" at Jake's school helped him get out of the car, I had a chance to watch him walk toward his classroom building. Usually there are several cars behind me, all of whom have children who seem to move faster than Jake in the mornings, so I have to leave as soon as the greeter closes his door. But this morning we were a little early, so I watched him. He walked so proudly, clutching his Power Rangers bookbag (thank you, Granny!) straps and staring straight ahead. His little head bobbed up and down while he walked, showing an energy that I didn't think he had before 10am. He was so confident and aware of where he was going.
Amazing kid.
Also, on our way to school, Jake counted the "cool" things we saw, things that he said meant it was a "good day." A huge inflatable pumpkin in a yard, a hot air balloon on top of a store (Grand Opening), and a train that traveled parallel to us for about three minutes. What I wished he'd seen on my way home was the bird perched on the head of one of the giant babies. Jake always points out the babies on this billboard we pass--he thinks they're cute because they're babies, I think they're creepy because they're bigger than King Kong. Anyway, one of those babies had a crow perched on his big head this morning. I think that would be one of Jake's cool things.
On a different note, we seem to have an alarm clock goblin in the house. This morning we all woke up late because the alarm didn't go off at 6. Even though I know I set it for 6 last night, it was actually set for 6:48...and the sound was turned all the way down... I tried to blame this on Ike somehow, but it doesn't make sense that he did it. It must have been the goblin because surely I never would have messed with the alarm clock, resetting it in my sleep, just to get a few more minutes...
