Happy 9th Birthday, Jacob









Here is a video I made when Jacob was two(?), three (?)... Before we had even two kids... I'd like to eventually do something like this with all the children, but... Well, you know.




My favorites things about my eldest son (in no particular order):

  • He introduced me to the comic genius of Captain Underpants. Although, his spelling and grammar has regressed. Go figure.
  • He can explain to me, citing accurate stats, why Reggie Bush is his favorite NFL player.
  • He shares my opinion (I KNOW he does) that Alfonso Soriano is a bum; but, like a true, blue fan, defends him vehemently.
  • He lets me win, sometimes, when we play each other in FIFA on Playstation.
  • He laughs at my jokes, and is a true, hard critic when my jokes aren't funny; which, he has just informed me, "happens, like, 11 times out of 10"... He also banks at the 5th/3rd Bank.
  • After every soccer game, no matter if his team wins or loses, he comes to me for a big hug.
  • At nine years old, while he is embarrassed of my spontaneous breaking into Britney Spears/ Drake & Josh/ Hanna Montana/ iCarly songs in public, he is not yet too embarrassed to walk up to me at a crowded picnic and give me a big, genuine, kiss on my bald head.
