Today was my day for working from home, and while Jacob was at school I was working at the computer and Violet came up to me and gave me the cutest smile. I reached for my phone to try to capture it. It took a few dozen tries, but I finally got her to hold still so I could capture her smile.

Today after our morning Future Stars and a walk through the local street festival we returned home and Jacob did some homework. It’s amazing him to watch him work through both the language and number problems. His writing is getting so much better and it seems like every other day he’s picking up a new math skill.

Today was Jacob’s Future Stars skating, and after a bit of a rough start he had a great night of skating. He tried the entire time he was on the ice, listen to the instructors and just did great. Even after he got off the ice he was talking about getting back out there this weekend.

Today was meet the teacher night at Jacobs school. So I took the time to snap a few pictures of his art. It was a good visit, though after listening to his teachers today I’m glad we’re doing the extra work with him at home. I think the Math and Language sheets Melissa has been doing with him will complement the more play based lessons being taught at school.

Today we went out for dinner with my mom. I snapped today’s picture of the day as we walked to the restaurant. It was such a sweet moment.

Today while walking home from school the kids say a firetruck driving by and waved.  Seeing the kids waving must have been a cute sight, because  the truck stopped and the kids got to explore  it. They both seemed to really enjoy checking out the different parts of the firetruck. To be honest I’m a little jealous, I’d love a chance explore a firetruck.

Today’s Picture of the day is of Jacob’s lunch for tomorrow. You might look at that and think something is missing. There doesn’t seem to be a main course for our little guys lunch. That’s because his friends mom will be bringing them a hot-dog. What’s great is how well the Silicon cupcake liners work for separating the different snacks that Melissa has packed for his lunch.

Today we have a picture of Jacob climbing around the local playground. It impressed me how he didn’t stop even when he left his shoe behind.

Today Violet was wearing a vest her Papa picked out for her. It was so cute that I had to get a picture. Of course she didn’t want to put down Jacob’s Leapster Explorer while I took them.
