Here's a picture of Jake chillin' on his new big boy bed. Reading one of his favorite books at the moment, The Little Engine That Could (a/k/a "Choo Choo" to the under 2 set). This led me to decide to write down for posterity all of the little random pieces of information about my darling son that I will treasure (or use against him) when he's older. I know this seems like a Facebook note, but oh well, there's probably a reason those things are so popular:
Favorite books: See above. Also "I Can Lick 30 Tigers Today (Dr. Seuss), any of the "Jake" books (Jake's Perfect Day, Jake's Big Adventure, or Come and Play, Jake), and My Momma Had a Dancing Heart. Daddy requested that I add The Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming.
Favorite music: Swing. Also likes salsa and ska at Grammy's - basically anything wiith a good dance beat.
Favorite TV show: Sesame Street, obviously, especially the Elmo highlights.
Favorite color: Don't really know.
Favorite food: Cheese, pasta, or apples.
Favorite activity: Anything with water or bubbles. Least favorite activity: first diaper change of the day and having his nails trimmed.
Favorite shape: stars!!
Favorite toy: Choo choo (either one).
Favorite words: Apple, Up, Mine (or my), More, No, and Daddy. Most recent new word: Down.
Speed: Running.
Things Mommy thinks are especially darling: Making Gir-Gir and DUI (the drunk fox) kiss and sharing milk with the stuffies. Insisting on being the one to give Dippy her treat in the morning (although I'm sure she wishes he wouldn't shove it in so hard). Giggles when he splashes me in the tub and I make a face. His use of "I do!" as a replacement for "yes." Oh, so much more I could go on for days...

I don't email and I never comment, but this post really brought a smile to my face. Thanks for sharing it.
All wonderful news! It's good to write down the little things. They can slip out of memory so easily, but mean so much in about 20-30 years!
