My name is....

Jakob is adorable. He has learned his last name and is very proud of himself. We asked him what his name is and he said “Jakob S.” and then when we asked him who we were he responded with Daddy S. and Momma S.. And then continued with Aiden S. and Toby S. (our dog!!). It was super cute. I am happy that he can tell someone his full name if asked. I worry that if he gets lost or takes off that when someone asks him his name he wouldn’t be able to tell them his full name. But now he’s got it!! Whoo hooo! I love seeing him when he finally understands something and becomes so proud of himself. His eyes light up and the smile spreads across his face and it’s great to see that. It is also fun to see Jason get that “proud papa” look on his face. Jason is really enjoying Jakob these days. Jakob and Jason have some great conversations and are really bonding over certain activities. I know that Jason bought Jakob’s Hotwheels for Christmas more for himself than for Jakob. They are a bit old for Jakob, and a bit young for Jason. But when they play with them together there is a bond between them that is so obvious. Boys and their cars. Something I will never be able to understand or intrude on.
