Happy Birthday Jakers!!

I can't believe my once baby boy is three years old already!! We had a fun little tractor party with lots of his little friends and cousins there...thanks to everyone, you made his day!
Jacob is ALL boy with a little feminine influence due to having a princess for a sister :). Although he knows every Disney princess by name, he loves nothing more than his blue bin full of cars, which he carries around with him all day, and his dump truck (which he earned a couple of weeks ago from potty training). He is obsessed with the garbage truck (of course so is Ruby) and both he and his sister can't wait for Thursday to roll around so they can watch it go up and down the street. He also loves puzzles and was doing 25 piece puzzles even before he turned 2. His favorite song (besides the Garbage Truck Song) is The Wise Man and the Foolish Man. He loves to sing and there are many nights when I hear him singing in his room for a LONG time before he finally falls asleep. He LOVES his sister and his little brother too, and he was the first person to make Miles give a really good belly laugh. He can talk almost anyone's ear off and even his cousin Savannah (who can certainly talk anyone's ear off :)) was once heard asking him to stop talking. His favorite colors most days are black and brown and don't you DARE try to give him an orange plate or bowl to eat from...he is NOT a fan of orange!
He says the most random funny things and I'm sad I haven't written more of them down, but a couple of them from recently are: we were driving in the car on the Friday of Fall Break from school. Ruby had asked why she didn't have school the day before and I told her it was because it is fall break. Well as we were driving Jacob says, "Mom, is it fall break?" I replied, "Yep," to which he said "then why isn't anybody fallin' around?" Another thing he is famous for is saying yuh instead of you, and I heard him singing Happy Birthday to yuh a couple of weeks ago...apparently I must use yuh a lot instead of you! When we were on our Banks Lake trip in September, we were sitting in camping chairs around the fire and he did something really funny (I can't even remember what it was) so I laughed, and he said, "Why did you laugh at me, mom?" I said, "because you are so cute." He said, "I'm not cute!" and I said, "then what are you?" to which he replied, "I'm just a man!" Well I guess he told me!!! Anyway, we absolutely love that little boy, and are so grateful for him in our family. Happy Birthday Jakers, we love you!

He may look like he's going to fall asleep in this one...it's hard work being three!
