Parents need an Aunt Rachel

M told me as Jake and I were pulling out that he had not had a nap and he had been difficult after being home from school all day. I said are you kidding? I have dealt with adults all day that make me want to pull my hair out – Jake is a dreamboat. Cute, funny, and sings Avril Lavigne’s GIRLFRIEND at full blast with me in the car, loves the color red because I do, and now is considering a change of opinion on thunderstorms since I told him how cool they are.

At the Verizon store while I got my cellphone fixed, he sat quietly nibbling on a blueberry muffin and and drinking his hot chocolate. When I went over to check on him, he said, “Ocho, can we go home now?” How cute is that?
