Tonight we started bedtime with a bath. Usually we struggle with rinsing the soap out of Jacob's hair. He hates getting water in his eyes. I recently had found a way to minimize Jacob's fear by pouring 2-3 cups of water-counting each cup and then he wipes his eyes with a dry washcloth. Well tonight he started pouring the water on his head himself. It was a very exciting and proud moment. Jacob was very cute about it.
Each night when I tuck Jacob in we sing some songs together. When he was younger I was trying to think of songs to sing with him and changed the song "1 little, 2 little, 3 little Indians.....7 little, 8 little, 9 little Indians, 10 little Indian boys and girls". I changed it to animals such as ducks playing or fish swimming and them Kisses for Jacob. Well lately Jacob started asking me for other items; such as the moon, sun, and my favorite light bulbs shining bright. Tonight he asked for Daddies and Mommies. I can't wait until the next request.
