He only gets to play with them when Nico is down for his nap (or solitary confinement when he won't nap). The minute I start getting Nicholas ready for nap Jacob is on me to find out when he can play with marbles. And if I can play with him. In urgent, pleading whispers. Can I? Can I? Please? Please? Please?
Below he had organized them in order of how much he liked them.
By the way, playing real marbles is majorly fun. Just get a piece of yarn to make a circle on the ground and start calling your shots. It's like playing pool on the floor!
Allow me to say despite the title of this post, I am loving 5 year old Jacob. Darling, earnest, and responsible. Loving it.

I love marbles! One of my favorite pastimes as well!
I love Jacob. He is smart and handsome and a great singer. He is a loyal brother too. I loved my birthday song and card. What a great boy he is!
It is so fun to watch him grow up and take interest in increasingly complex things. I remember him so well watching Baby Einstein in his bouncer and now he is playing marbles. I'm so glad I got to see him (and all of the amazing and talented Hutches). Love you!
Oops. That was me. :)
So very cute. I see a trip to the retro toy store in downtown Northport about August 24th!
