Jake Did It!

This is a random post...but it is a common topic of conversation in our house.

Jake finally hit the 40 lb mark yesterday!  We have been waiting for him to get there for quite some time. He is now legal for a booster seat, at 6 1/2 years old :-)   Part of me thinks that I shouldn't be encouraging weight gain...but the other part is happy that he realized that he needed to eat more so he can grow...and he did it!

Conversation with Kelly & Stevie Kate

As we were driving to Wal-Mart yesterday, Kelly pointed out a convertible and said, "That is a cool car."  Then after a minute she also added "This is not a cool car." And all with a disgusted look on her face.  I asked her if she meant our van...and she said yes.  I got a pretty good laugh out of that one! 

I then asked Stevie what kind of car she would drive when she grows up and she said, "A van like ours."  I guess she doesn't really know much about cars :-)  But then she added "Except without the box on top...I don't really like that." 

Well...I know I don't look very cool driving our wonderful van (aka Smartie)...but I love it and wouldn't want any other car right now.  But ask me in a few years...
