I have to admit, I do still think of Jacob as my baby (although a very heavy baby), even though he has a baby brother. I don't know why, maybe it has been everything that has happened to him since he was a little one. The poor guy has been through more in his short life than me in my 40 years, but I will say, he has managed to handle it like a champ! I have had to realize lately, though, that he is growing up to be a little boy. A couple of weeks ago, shortly after starting his preschool observations, he got a big boy bed. We were not sure exactly how it would go, although I guess you never are, but he has done very well with it. When it is time to go to bed at night he happily climbs in and falls asleep pretty quickly. He even has stayed in bed all night, and sometimes even waits for us to come up and get him before getting out. The only thing we have had a little problem with is nap time. Jacob seems to think he does not need to take naps every day any more. I am just not sure I am ready for him to give them up completely. He starts preschool oficially on the 21st of February, right after his 3rd birthday on the 18th. Like I said, he is growing into a little boy, and we don't have much say in the matter.
Everyone is doing pretty good, although I wouldn't say that we are at 100% healthy yet. Rick ended up getting the dreaded cold after me, and then Tucker came down with it (again? if that is possible). We are all now almost completely healthy, at least for the time being, but as usual, the cold set off my asthma, so I don't sound too healthy.
The boys all get along pretty well, but I have a feeling we have another little rebel on our hands with Tucker. He was leaning over to grab Joshua's milk the other night, and every time Josh told him no, he just laughed and did it again over and over. I got a bit of it on video for all to see.
