Jacob has now figured out how to bring himself to the sitting position without the use of something to pull up on.  He did it right in front of me while we were playing in his room together.  Such a big boy!  Grandma called last night to talk to the kids.  But when both of them got on the phone, the first thing they said was, "Can I talk to Brandon".  So, so much for grandma calling to talk to them.  So, the kids each took turns talking to Brandon.  Preston went first and he was really cute.  He told Brandon he had a secret that he wanted to tell him.  I could tell he wasn't sure what secret he was actually going to say, but that he had a secret.  So, Preston went in his room to look around to find said secret.  So, he told Brandon that his secret was that he had a Batman and a Joker (just happened to be the first two toys on the floor when you walked into Preston's room).  Brandon's respose - "For me", Preston - "No, for both of us to share, Brandon - "but not to share with Emily, right."  Poor Emily, but she can definately dish it out, so I guess I shouldn't feel too bad for her.  She is the Queen of Instigating!   Made a video of her singing in the bathtub yesterday.  She is so cute, just love how she makes up songs.  She was so goofy this morning, she matter of fact told me that she didn't want to be a white girl anymore that she wanted to be a black girl.  Hand on her hip, leaning to one side, and the other hand out (like you are holding a tray - best way I can think of to describe it).  I asked her why she would think that, she just said because she doesn't want to be white she wants to be black.  Ok, glad that is settled.  Such a goof.  I am pretty sure that she is saying this b/c all of her teachers are black, and most all of the kids at her school are black.  So she is in the minority.   Today am planning on taking Em with me to the fabric store (Joann's), to get some V-day fabric to make a diaper for Jacob.  Want to do V-day pics with the kids and am having some difficulty finding cute boy stuff.  Cute girl stuff is all over the place, but not a whole lot of choices with boys.  So, trying to make do with what I can find and it still be cute!
