Today while out and about we stopped in one of Jacob’s favourite stores.  Though it’s not the store that he likes it’s the stack of keyboards that he can play. Even Violet got into the act, unfortunately I was unable to get a picture of that.

Today the family did some shopping, while out we had some Pizza for dinner. Of course to our little Violet it’s Pibba, and it’s one of her favourite foods. I like it because she’s so adorable saying Pibba.

Today Jacob had a visit to the dentist. For a cleaning and a general check-up. The visit started out pretty good, but after a few minutes he’d had enough of the cleaning. Of course when the Dentist came in to look over his mouth he sat with his mouth open wide, no complaints. This amused the hygienist.

Once again my picture of the day is Jacob at the computer. I didn’t really plan this, it’s just that when we sat down for computer time he navigated to TVOKids.com and to the The Mysteries of Alfred Hedgehog game. He’s played it before but tonight was different. Tonight he wasn’t asking me to ready every chat box that popped up. He would sound out the words or when he’d stumble ask for help. But it was mostly him. It was amazing to see. I’ve know for a while that he was picking up reading but it’s the first time I’ve seen him using it for something more than just to read. Here he was using it to solve problems. It was a proud moment for this father.

Today’s picture is of Violet’s stuffed Monkey, relaxing in her dolls stroller. Our little Violet loves her dolls and stuffed animals. She pushes them in her stroller or tries to put diapers on them. She’ll even lay them down and cover them with a blanket and say ‘shhh’, like she’s putting them to bed. I’m not sure if I’d seen the Monkey in the stroller before today, but it was there a lot today.

I’m not sure if the picture really does Jacob’s shirt justice, but I couldn’t resist this as the picture of the day. You see when Jacob came home from school she shirt was covered in paint. The teach told my mom who picked up our little guy that he wearing a smock… it was just backwards.

Tonight Jacob did the cutest thing. For some reason he wanted to do the dishes. So I set him up at the sink and let him at it. He did a pretty good job but after about a half a sink he’d had enough. I think I might be able to get a complete sink next time 😉

Today our little family headed out to do a little shopping. While there Violet showed us what she wants for christmas. Perhaps we’ll let Santa know so he can put it under the tree.

Today Melissa and I spent the evening putting together Halloween bags for the kids of Jacob class. It seems so strange, its times like this that make me really think about how fast my little guy is growing up.

Today was photo day, it’s also the one day of the week that I take Jacob to school. So on the way to school I snapped this picture of Jacob to send to Melissa to show her that Jacob would be ready to go in front of the camera.
