Today, Jacob showed me that he can, without a doubt, SING!
Several times today, I sang the same 2 notes, like "C," and then "F" - and he mimicked what I was singing perfectly, right on key.
Saturday and Sunday was pure peace and quiet, for the first time since Jacob was born. Peter took the Kid up north to see Grammy, and the dog and I had the house to ourselves for about 30 hours! I spent the first 2 hours on the couch, writing emails, catching up and marveling the uninterrupted silence. Then I finally got motivated and took the dog for a hike, then went into SF and spent $60+ at my favorite thrift store. It was like going to the grocery store, only I was picking out dress shirts for $2.99 each - BAAM! Jacob scored some cool shirts, too. That was the big highlight, followed by church the next day - it was the day when you can bring your pet and they'll bless him/her/it. So great when the priest is in the middle of the sermon, everyone is quiet and then suddenly, a loud "RUFF!" - Fido saying, "AMEN!"
I was ready to see my boys when they came home - though the 24-hour break was sheer bliss.
