Love a Rainy Nite

Spending time with my boys is the best thing in the whole world. Hands. Down.
We enjoyed a special treat today, the hubby stayed home from work due to a migraine, but we had a nice day anyways. Jeremy cooked a great dinner as discussed just before this.  We ate peacefully at the actual dinner table just us as Jacob napped in his crib.  I shockingly suggested we talk and not worry about watching Big Brother yet....I know you love it too! It was a very nice dinner with delicious food and great company.  Then it started raining (yea!!!!), so we grabbed Jacob and Guinness and sat on our back porch.  We have waited ALL summer to spend time outside together! I snapped a couple of pics....of course.

Sweet, sweet rain

Two of my boys

Look. At. That. Face!

Our evening then continued by me washing dishes and cleaning up the kitchen making turtle brownies....the box kind.  I slacked on the homemade this time, already made and ate homemade M&M chocolate chip cookies a few days ago. Anywho, while I was tearing open the box and mixing away Jeremy was spending some quality time with Jacob.  I hear from Jacob room the words to Goodnight Moon...It was one of the sweetest things I've ever heard.  Every time I hear Jeremy playing with, talking or reading to Jacob my heart absolutely melts.  He is the best dad, and Jacob has a great role model to watch as he grows older. Speaking of growing older my little man will be 3 months on Friday....I will post about that obviously! We are now all cuddled up as a family with Guinness laying at our feet watching Big Brother and Royal Pains.  I love my life. Hope everyone's night was as wonderful as mine.

Daddy Talk #3- Potty

Tonite's chat somehow ended up about the potty.
Jeremy: to Guinness, who is growling at him "You need to go to the door if you need to go outside."
Jeremy: to Jacob "Yeah, Guinness is a crazy dog.  He knows he's supposed to go to the door to go potty, but he's not doing it."
Jacob: *smiles and cooing*
Jeremy:  "Guinness goes potty outside, so he has to go to the door.  You will potty in the bathroom."
Jacob: *blank stare*
Jeremy: "Yep you will."
Jacob: *smiles*
Jeremy: "See you'll just climb on up that toilet and sit down and potty. That's how it's done."
Jacob: *smiles, gurgles, and cooing*
*Guinness finally goes to the door.*
Jacob: *smiles*
Jeremy: to Guinness "Ok I'll let you out."

In the meantime Jacob just looks far off the direction Jeremy went waiting for him to come back...he has been staring at his daddy and cooing at him for about 30 mins now. Minus the time it took to put Guinness out and let him back in.  Jacob is currently making all sorts of noises, smiles, gurgles...it's too cute.  And Jeremy just keeps saying "Yeah, is that what it is?" and "Really?" They just keep going back and forth...adorable.

Jeremy: "I love that smile.  Love your toothless smile."
Jacob: *coo*

Daddy Talk #2- Girls

Sitting on the couch this evening Jeremy brings Jacob in from once again doing the pj routine (see Daddy Talk #1), and he proceeds to have a small chat with Jacob. About girls.
Jeremy: "So let's talk about girls. They are crazy, all of them are crazy except your momma *whispers* she's just plain nuts."
Jacob: *smiles & stares at Jeremy with big eyes*
Jeremy: (continues talking about girls and how they are pretty, tricky, and fun)
Me: "No girls...."
Jeremy: "Someday you'll like them because you'll think ones pretty. They're tricky like that, making themselves all pretty. Then when you get older you'll find one and fall in love, but then she'll break your heart."
Jacob: *serious, focused look*
Jeremy: "But that's ok because then you find another one and fall in love, but she'll break your heart too because she's not the one."
Jacob: *cooing & smiles*
Jeremy: "And finally you'll find the one, and all her craziness will be ok because you'll love her and she's the one."
Jacob: *big smiles & cooing*
Me: *smiles & heart melting*
Love my hubby & my Jacob.

Daddy Talk #1 - Octopus

I'm starting a new series of posts entitled Daddy Talk...basically it's all the crazy, funny, sweet things I hear Jeremy talking about or saying to Jacob. Here is the first convo worthy of an entry...it occurred about a week or so ago...I overheard it from Jacob's room.

Jeremy (dressing Jacob in pjs for bed): "Dude hang on.  It's like dressing an octopus in here!"
Jacob: "Gurgle, coo, coo" (smiles)
