Today we had another visit to the Asthma clinic. While waiting for our turn Jacob showed off his artistic side, drawing a couple of pictures, first with Mommy, Daddy and Chloe. Then one of Violet and him. I was quite impressed with the hands and feet. Not to mention that he included names of the people he drew.
Over the last couple of weeks Melissa and I have wanted to reorganize Jacob room. So this weekend we went at it. One casualty of the reorganization was his Train table, its been relegated to storage for a while. That doesn’t mean no trains, in fact today Jacob mad a large track that stretched across his room and under his bed.
Today the family was out and about, first together at swimming. Then Jacob went with his Nana and Papa to lunch and shopping for skating gear. While The women folk and I hit the mall looking for presents. When we all were done we picked up Jacob in front of Sobey’s. While Melissa was picking up a few essentials, the kids and I sat in the car. While sitting there I played with taking a more creative picture. Should have really moved the car though…
One year ago I decided to start blogging everyday for the rest of the year. I did that and haven’t stopped. It’s now been a full year of a posting everyday. To be fair starting the Project 365 on January 1st has really help with my posting everyday, but I’m still impressed that I went from occasionally posting a musing or collection of photos to posting something every day.
Moving forward I hope to start posting a lot more none Project 365 posts. Starting Monday with the launch of my new series, Mobile Mondays. There will be more series in the coming weeks, I’m just working out the details before I launching them. I’m hoping to have posts from 2 or 3 ongoing series each week. I just want to make sure this time I don’t get 1 or 2 posts in and then stop.
An interesting note about the first post a year ago (see post here). I talked about Jacob and Violet starting their fall swim classes. In an example of the symmetry of life, tomorrow is the first day of this falls swimming classes. This time we’ll be going on Saturdays, with Violet and I in the Guardian and Tot swim while Jacob is in his Pre-School 2 class.
Tonight we have a picture of Violet playing with a doll house at Scholars Choice. We were there looking for letters for Jacob. She really liked playing with the doll house, I guess we know something she’ll be getting for Christmas.
Today Melissa and I helped Jacob with his first homework assignment. It’s a family newspaper. It was great to watch how excited Jacob got, writing out the different headlines and picking out pictures.
Today Melissa took Jacob to the Just for Kids clinical. It seems he’s had a reaction to the Amoxicillan he’s been taking for his latest ear infection. So this evening Jacob and I headed out to pick up the replacement anti-biotics.
Today was a family day out and about. I snapped this picture while Melissa helped Jacob read some Bob Books. I would love to write more about our day, but I have some work that needs doing and a run that needs running. More tomorrow.
Heading to work today I was surprised to see construction equipment in another of our neighborhood playground. You may remember my post a couple of weeks ago about them removing the play ground from another park (see post here). Today For a minute I thought they might be doing it again. I spent part of this evening trying to find out what they are doing to the park, but my internet searches turned up nothing. I think I’m going to have to find some better ways to stay connected with my community.
Tonight Jacob grabbed some paper, a pen and some of his scrambled letters and tried to make words. It amazing to watch my little guy sound out words.
