Garbage Truck, who knew?

Yesterday, Jacob lined up about 6 or 7 of his Matchbox/Hot Wheels, bumper to bumper in the den. He'd pick up each one, "Hi!" and put it back in line. He also got a new garbage truck, to keep him busy, although I do appreciate his help, while momma cleaned out the guest bedroom (I still had Christmas wrappings out). He drove that trash truck all over the house making his little car noise. Had I known he had such an attachment to garbage trucks, I'd have given it to him a month ago.

He's still not talking much but, I am always amazed at what he knows. He knows his body parts, arms, legs, fingers and toes. He knows spoon, fork, plate, and cup. I have to thank Elaine for that stuff, I know it's not us. I had put all of his cars away at one point yesterday, I asked him where his bulldozer was, he ran into the den and came back with the bulldozer. Most of his books, if you ask him, "where's the ____?", he'll point to it. He just won't say it. I was talking to my friend Jeannie and she suggested that he's probably starting over. Meaning, he's spent 2 years learning to speak underwater, it's going to take some time for him to learn to speak without the fluid. I'm sure it's true. Early On comes again next week. We'll see what they say we can do to help him.

I have 2 busy weeks ahead. Jeremy has a friend from high school coming for dinner Wednesday night. My house is trashed. I'm catching a cold. We're spending Easter with Uncle Butch, Aunt Jen, and Brooke this year. I'm looking forward to going to their house to see their remodeling projects. We're going to Manistee the next weekend. The hotel has a pool to wear Jacob out. I'm looking forward to seeing friends, my mom, and the beach. We're eating at Big Al's at least twice. I can't wait. But - there's work stuff. I have 2 builds running one right after the other next month and I have to bring it all together. On that note, I better get started!
