"I Gave Beeper Some Toys"

Ephraim is working on his two top teeth, so he has been a bit miserable lately. Consequently yesterday morning he woke up at 4 a.m. I gave him his binky so he would go back to sleep. That only lasted for about an hour. So I got up just after 5 a.m. and fed the poor boy.

Then I decided I might as well get up and ride on the bike trainer. I put in 20 miles and by the time I finished Jacob was downstairs with me. When I finished and Curious George was over, we went up and had breakfast.

Ephraim had just woken up, but he sounded happy. So I told Jacob I was going to take a quick shower. Jacob is a good boy and will generally read books or play with his toys while I am in the shower. I guess yesterday he decided to play with Ephraim and his toys.

When I got out of the shower, Jacob came and told me "Mommy, I gave Beeper some toys!"

I replied, "That's so nice! Thanks Jacob!"

After I was dressed I went to get Ephraim out of his crib. Here is the sight that I saw in his room.

Wow Mommy! Check out all these toys!

Apparently Jacob got Ephraim ALL the toys rather than just one of them. What a nice brother, huh? I couldn't help but laugh a bit at how cute Jacob is. Ephraim definitely would not have gotten bored!

Later in the day we went to Wee Read. Today they read about Thanksgiving, which I think Jacob enjoyed. He is really good about sitting on the carpet by himself now to listen to the stories. He doesn't even worry about where I am! Then we went and checked some books out. Jacob wanted a train book, since that is what they read last week... and he's been thinking about it since then apparently.

Jacob tells me that he wants a train book for Christmas... and a train. So far those are the only things that he has told me that he wants. I am sure that this Christmas is going to be fun for him now that he understands the whole concept of presents!
