"ish"

One of Jacob's first words was "ish" aka "fish".  I think that this was due to reading Dr. Seuss' "One Fish, Two Fish" over and over.  For quite some time now he has been waking up in the morning, pointing at Saddie, and instantly saying "ish".  We have certainly had our laughs over this, but at the same time made an effort to remind Jake that Saddie is definitely a dog.  He does, often, point out fish on the tv and in books, but continues to refer to Saddie as the same.  Regardless, I found it to be the perfect excuse to tell dada "we need a fish"!  So, today after work, we took a family trip to the pet store where we purchased our first family fish.  I am calling them "Fish One & Fish Two."  I mean, Dr. Seuss did inspire this whole pet stage, right?  Once we warmed them to their new home we introduced them to Jake who was interested all of...hmmm...thirty seconds!

IT MAKES DADA SMILE WHEN I SAY "ISH"

Fall Day at MMO

Today was Fall Day at Jake's Mother's Morning Out class!  All the kids were to wear their fall colors and come ready for activities, special snacks, and fun!  I was so excited to see that my big boy had come home with some treats to show us about his day.  He had an adorable pumpkin, a class photograph, and two art projects.  It warmed my heart to see what he had been doing this morning.  Jake doesn't have to talk to let me know what his favorite part of the day was.  I can pretty much guess it was snack time.  He loves snacks and they have told me from day one that there are no tears from this baby during snack time.  In addition, Jake had no interest in lunch today.  :)

(Note to self: Jake started MMO in September 2011, 1 day a week @ First Baptist Church in Fort Mill.)
