Whenever I feel the train on my face...

Today we had a great, mellow afternoon at home together - it was awesome! Michael was napping and Jacob was playing well. He just wanted to play near me, not really with me, so I sat on the floor in his room working on Primary stuff while he played. Jacob loves to make up songs while he plays - usually something he already knows, only he inserts the names of things he is playing with in random moments of the song. Today in Primary they sang "My Heavenly Father Loves Me", and Jacob used that as the main tune/lyrics while he was playing...it went something like this:

"Whenever I hear the song of my dinosaur, or look at the blue, blue sky...whenever I feel the train on my face or the wind in the blue blue sky..."

Later he was playing with his cars and play dough (a favorite combination) and apparently Lightening McQueen was cleaning up, and singing:

"I am cleaning up so well. I clean clean clean all the time. My Mommy tells me that I am so good at cleaning and picking up my toys. I love to help my Mommy. I clean and clean and help help help. I am a good helper for Mommy!"

It was so cute! We began a Saturday morning tradition of cleaning the apartment together and then going out for a fun lunch (picnic, eating out, something) and Jacob has been a great helper. He is always there to mop, vacuum, dust and he picks up his toys well, too. I do have a great helper!
