Jacob Sayings of '07

Yes, he is cute. He loves chocolate, Transformers, cars, and saying things that make his Grandma and Grandpa double over in laughter. So as not to forget any of these, I keep a journal of the sayings and events that happen over the years. Josh is not quite as verbal yet so I don't have as much on him this year. These are just a few of the things Jacob said that we loved and/or laughed at in 2007.

After we go to story time, we usually take the boys to the park or a mall to play. In one of our high-end malls there is always a car parked in the center near Neiman's. Ever since he was able to talk, Jacob has called these cars Usually Cars. When asked why the answer is "Because they are usually only found in malls. (regular cars aren't allowed in the mall)

In early '07, Jill's father was diagnosed with colon cancer. Jill was explaining to Jake one night that Grandpa Larry was going to have surgery. Jake's response..."I did a pray to God for Grandpa last night." Those prays really do work...Grandpa Larry is in perfect health now!

One day I was cutting up celery and carrots and asked Jacob if he'd like some. He looked at me and said "I'll try those when I'm 10". He's never said that about chocolate!

After their Oct. trip to Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio, I asked him if it was a long trip. His reply,
"Yes! There was a short cut but my mom and dad took the long cut"!

And to end this, one of our favorites.
We were taking the boys back up to Frisco with both in the back seat. Jacob was clap, clap, clapping away for about 5 minutes. He stopped then said "Grandma, Grandpa, I've just been clapping in Spanish." After the laughter subsided from the front seat, Grandpa said, "That's great, Jacob, next week I'll teach you to clap in French."
