Our baby isn't a baby anymore...

For Christmas, Santa brought Jacob a brand new bike.  He can ride it...really well...really fast...which means he's growing up....really fast...too fast...which means my heart is breaking.  By the way, yes, that is a Disney Princess helmet he is wearing.  Doug bought a brand new spider-man helmet with honky horn to go with his bike but Jacob, like his big sister Anna, has one big head.  The 3+ helmet wouldn't even begin to go down over his noggin so he has been forced to wear a hand-me-down Disney Princess helmet (in pink) until Mommy or Daddy can get back to the store.  Yesterday he went to "school" at the drop-in daycare while I ran some errands.  He put together a backpack just like the sisters and was waiting by the door ready to go.  When I dropped him off, I gave him a big hug and kiss and began to leave.  I looked back and he was standing there looking like such a big boy.  I called out, "Have a good day at school, Buddy, I love you!"  He nodded, smiled, waved, and said, "Bye, Mommy, wuv you."  I cried all the way to the store.
