All About Jake!

-
Jake is well into his "two's" and they are TERRIFIC! He is such an awesome little boy with crazy energy, a fun personality, a fearless attitude, an adorable smile, and a curiosity that never ends! He is quiet and fast, which keeps us on our toes! His vocabulary is growing fast! He now speaks in short sentences, such as "(insert name) where are you?", "What you doing?", "No touch or No screaming!", "Thank you so much", "I love you so much", "Come on" and "Let's go" while he is waving his little hand for you to follow him, and has become much more clear when asking for things like milk, juice, and to eat. He can count to 20 and he is starting to learn his colors. He LOVES to roar like a dinosaur! He likes to sing, "You are my sunshine", "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", and "The Itsy Bitsy Spider". He likes to swing from our curtains like a monkey, which he gets punished for but doesn't care. He loves to play in the dirt with a shovel and chase bubbles so that he can pop them. He loves Lightening McQueen, Buzz Lightyear, Woody, and ANYTHING with a train in it and loves to point out airplanes and helicopters anytime he sees them flying overhead. While we have not "tried" to potty train him, we have introduced him to the training potty and he is now wearing pull ups! He has actually gone potty in the toilet 4 times all on his own! He really likes to just get undressed, sit on the toilet, and watch his favorite movies or shows! His potty seat is in the living room, but we don't really care where it is as long as he is using it. Last month, while enjoying an afternoon as a family at McDonald's Jay and I looked towards the play land just in time to see a diaper (clean) be thrown out of the slide and out pops my NAKED son!!! We packed up our stuff and left as soon as possible! And, last week, while I was in the bedroom I heard our security door open and close. I went to the front room to find that Jake had set up a folding chair that had been leaning against the wall, pushed it up to the security door, unlocked the door, and let himself out! I couldn't believe it! He is such a smart little guy, we really have to keep a close eye on him!
We are so grateful to have him in our family! he is a perfect fit!

WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH BUBBA!

Native Drums

For the past 6 weeks Jayne's class (all the 4th and 5th graders) at school have been working with a resident artist learning about the  Tlingit (KLING kit), the Haida (HIGH duh) and the Tsimshian (SIM she ann) native tribes of Southeast Alaska. They have learned how to introduce themselves in the native tongue. They have learned about the art and form styles used in totems and the meanings behind the symbols. They even had the opportunity to make a deer skin drum (Goo-jow), including soaking the deer skin and stretching it over the wood drum frame and letting it set until it hardened. Once it was completely dry they got to draw their chosen native symbol on the drum and the paint it. They look SO COOL! They even made their own drum stick using a stick, fabric, buck leather, and deer tendon, which was used as the string to tie it all together. This past week the students performed for the rest of the school, singing a song/chant in the native tongue. It is a welcome message...

Whale Watching

This weekend was BEAUTIFUL weather!!!  We have all been feeling a little under the weather, but we have made sure to get outside a little each day.  On Saturday we were fortunate enough to be downtown by the cruise ships docks and caught a few glimpses of a humpback whale!  When they bubble feed you can see a ring of bubble start to surface on the water and then they come straight up the center with open mouths to feed.  It is so cool to see them!  They are really big!  Sunday afternoon was a nice drive to all the great spots that we love to view the ocean from.  It was a gorgeous sunset!  Someday I still can't believe that we live here!!!
