While the kids were listening to "Clopper," the tale of Mary and Joseph's donkey, Jacob started rolling around on the floor and was grabbing his feet and hitting himself in the forehead with them. I'm thinking, "Okay, so he's three. No big deal. At least he's quiet." And then he lets out a huge toot. Everyone is trying very hard to stay quiet- the two high school boys reading the story, the other kids in the group (mostly 4th and 5th graders), and the parents sitting in the pews. Thankfully the story was almost over and Kris took Jake to the bathroom. Ella, meanwhile, was not sitting with the group (can't let go of Mommy, now can we?) and had figured out that the story was about a donkey. She then starts saying, "Donkey! Hee haw!" over and over. It was very cute.
Another Jacob story happened earlier that day in Sunday School. Jacob asked his buddy, Parker, "For Christmas, would you rather have a vacuum cleaner or a toy?" Parker, of course, picked toy. We're not sure what Jacob was thinking... he hates vacuums. He's spending a lot of brainpower on thinking through Christmas. We're not doing the whole Santa Claus thing, but he's getting conflicting reports from everyone else so we've had to go over and over details about who St. Nicholas was and that Christmas is Jesus's birthday... it's all very confusing for a three year old. It seems like the one thing he knows for certain is that Santa said that he would bring him a firetruck and that he'll be coming down the fireplace to do so. Wonderful.
