A totally unbiased post...

Well, I’ve always known that my baby was the smartest, sweetest boy in the world. Now I have proof. Examples, you ask? Sure:

Example 1: After less than a week, Jake is telling us whenever he needs to use the potty. He is completely over the “it’s scary” thing and peeing in a public potty Friday night at Joe’s Crab Shack was less of a problem than, well, the noise in Joe’s Crab Shack. Saturday after his nap, in his undies I might add, he informed me (in his usual post nap grump) that he was going potty and that he didn’t need my help. Sure enough, he took his pants and undies off, peed, put them back on (correctly!), flushed, and washed his hands without any assistance! See. Smartest boy ever.

Example 2: Sunday night I made pot pie. Which means my mom was over, of course, because who can resist my pot pie? No one. After dinner my mom snuck a piece of the crumble topping and Steve, jokingly, said “Bad Mom!” Jake, my hero, immediately told Steve “You don’t say she’s a bad mom! She’s a good mom!” Steve replied that he’d been talking to Ama and only kidding. To which Jake responded, “She’s not a bad Ama! You’re a bad daddy for saying that!” My little gentleman! Always rushing to a lady’s defense! See. Sweetest boy ever.

He also gave us a bit of a scare on Sunday. He fell off of one of the climbing towers at the park from about 4 feet (maybe 4.5). He landed on the rubber mat and had nothing more than a scraped elbow, but it was a scary fall to watch! I’m hoping to have more pics from the 4th of July to post this week. Then I can claim, and prove, smartest, sweetest, and cutest!
