A new way we get Jake to do things faster is to say "are you going to beat me?" He gets super excited and rushes to get dressed, undressed, or to the car. These little tricks are so funny to do. Dave and I just wonder how long they will last.
August Weekend with Uncle Rob at the "Baseball Park".
Sunday's game we got to see Uncle Rob by the dugout. Jake had the biggest smile on his face when Rob came out to see us. Then he gave Jake two baseballs. One to play with at home and the 2nd one was autographed by the players. When Jake went to school the next day he told his teachers with out taking a breath. "I went to the baseball park with Uncle Rob and I have two balls." He just kept repeating that, it was so sweet. I explained what he did and the two balls were baseballs. :)
We went to the game on Saturday night with Max, Kay and Gil.
Uncle Rob coaching 1st base. I would ask Jake "where is Uncle Rob and he would point right to him. He also is great keeping track of what is going on in the game. I would ask him where is the ball, and he point to the pitcher or catcher. Then I ask him if the batter was going to hit the ball. He would say yes or no. 
Jake and Max best seat in town, standing on their Daddy's lap. Of course we made sure the guys behind could see. They thought it was awesome that the boys were watching the game at such a young age.
Uncle Rob got to come to the house Saturday morning. Jake showed him around the house and was so proud to show him his room.
2010 Swim Lessons
Jake and Ms. Joanna after jumping off the diving board. Jake loved his private lessons with Joanna. She is an amazing teacher. It was hilarious to watch him flirt with her.
Check out this form. A huge jump with a huge smile on his face. Before he climbs out of the water he is already telling Ms Joanna again again again.
During Jake's lessons he would watch the big kids jump off the diving board. One day at the end of a little girls lessons Joanna took her over to jump off the board. Jake. During Jake's lesson he told Joanna he wanted to jump too. The little girl was a tiny 5 year old. Several people at the pool asked how old Jake was. When I said he just turned 3 they were very impressed he was jumping off the diving board.
Here he is making the walk down to the edge. The first time we had to coach him to keep walking. The closer he got to the end the slower he would walk. It was so sweet how careful and slow he took each step. After only one jump he did not hesitate to walk to the end.
Jake wouldn't wear his goggles for Mommy but Ms. Joanna had the magical smile.
He had 8 semi private lessons with his friend Alix. Then we signed him up for a month and 1/2 of private lesson with Joanna.
