Conversations



...Are often interesting with Jakob.
I am completely blown away by how much information he can actually hold in his cute little brain. Reading at age 3 ... memorizing all the presidents and vice presidents ( not to mention how they died and where they went to college by age 4) He knows all states and capitals - all countries and stats and rivers and populations etc... it is very difficult to stump him on anything. EVER !!
His latest thing is a TV show called Brain Rush.
It is a trivia show that has teenagers get on these terrifying roller coasters and answer questions while going 80 MPH or swirling upside down. Kinda cool - I guess... and nauseating at the same time.
So today as the girls having taken over every room with Barbie cities, he quizzes me again and a again ....
" Is Two Face a superhero or a super Villon?" " Who Sings the current hit Right Round?" " What body part is Kyle XY Missing?" " How many dollars make up a C Note ?" " Is Green Day a Rock Band or a Holiday ?" What Saturday night Live Star plays VP Joe Biden ?" What year was the US Constitution Written ?" " What State was Kobe Bryant born in ?" "Which Athlete has been on Sports Illustrated the most times ?"
" Is Auto Man from the Simpson's or Family Guy " " What kind of Job does Mario have from Nintendo "?

He makes my day a little brighter and makes my smile a lot bigger.
I just adore his innocence and happy heart ...and his never ending quest for knowledge and need to get all the facts first. He is simply gifted and simply melts my heart with his goodness. Not a mean bone in his ever growing body;)
What an amazing big brother ...Sophia and Silas are truly blessed.

Moments Today ..

If you are anything like me .. or have a household like mine you would know that no day begins quietly .. smoothly or without incident.
As a mom of three .. Not to mention being a part time parent to my significant other ... you have to be prepared for some excitment in your day.
We were forced into life this morning at 6:12 am by Fisher. He is not one of the two legged children .. but the wildest of the two four legged ones. He was up .. and something had him perplexed.. He was barking .. howling and bouncing his kennel all over my artroom floor.
" are you kidding me " I was thinking .. hair straight up ..heart pounding and all of a sudden realizing I was desperate need of a drink of water. So down the stairs i went to see what this wild animal could be so upset about. I checked the door first .. no one there. I went in to the room and found him frantly barking at .. himself .. yes , I apparently forgot to replace one of my large mirrors when I was moving things around.
I stood there him looking at me then his reflection and back at me .... Yes Fisher .. This is a very embarressing moment for you . He was now wagging his tail all chipper and happy to see me .. Great , I'm up.
I let him outside and turn around to find the three two legged wonders staring at me ..
" So .. mom , What's for Breakfast ?"
