Today after I put Jake down for his nap and was walking out of his room, I hear this sweet little voice say "duh du". I always have to stop and do a double take and really think when Jake talks to me. But I knew this one pretty quickly. It was "love you". He said it first!!! I was shocked. He beat me to my line which is "have a good nap (or night if that's the case)" and then "love you". And two nights ago, he finished his prayer with "Ahhhhmin" which was "Amen" of course. It was very close. Tonight as he was drinking his bottle he pointed his finger to his eye and then to me. This is "I love you". Jeff and I have always with our children had a code for "I love you" which is pointing to your eye, then to your heart, and then to the other person. Jake got the first and third parts of this right. He is such a sweet, smart little fellow.
But have I mentioned that he is really, really busy. Well he is!!! As wonderful as the addition of Jake has been to us, it has also been very intense. It's good though if you know what I mean. I just am constantly having to refocus, revamp so much. Just when I think I've got it all figured out....nope!!! More change! Anyway, it's good. Please keep praying for our homeschool efforts. We still feel very much that homeschooling is right for our family but it is a very, very big endeavor.....one we're delighted to have the privilege to undertake, but one that feels heavy at times.
