Friends and Birthday Parties

Because Jacob is an only child I try to have friends over quite a bit. Some days it makes it easier for me (someone else is there to play with him rather than me) and some days it is a little more work than I planned for (3 year olds do not always agree on everything). Jacob has a variety of friends to play with. There are 11 boys in his Sunbeam class and they are all great kids.

Last week a friend came over and they were doing fine, but then one decided he wanted to play downstairs and the other wanted to play upstairs. They ended up upstairs in Jacob's room. Neither of them were very chatty about how to solve the problem. So I brought out the camera (originally because they both looked so funny like this) and it changed their attitude in minutes.
It was so funny!














Last Saturday Jacob was invited to 2 birthday parties. One in the morning at Jungle Jim's and the other in the afternoon at The Little Gym. I didn't get pictures of the afternoon, but he had a great time at both! After seeing them drive, I'm really glad they don't drive yet!!!
