My mom and Jeff had a block party with all their neighbors. It was a lot fun with lots of good food. Jacob loved these gigantic "Cats". I kept trying to tell him they were squirrels even though I know they are chipmunks, but he has seen several squirrels in our backyard so I thought he might see the connection.
They had a huge bouncy house there which Jacob has been terrified of them for months. He did not want go in this one at all. I finally dragged him in there when there were no other kids and we just sat in the corner for a bit. After that I let him sit by himself and watch me jump. He still was not too impressed. Finally I told him to watch mommy do a somersault and I did a front flip and a back flip. After that he got a big smile on his face and stood up and started walking back and forth and then running. I was so excited! After about 15 minutes of that he finally grabbed onto the netting and started jumping up and down and then he was hooked on the bounce house. We couldn't get him out all night until it was time to go. He was jumping and bouncing on his bottom and falling all over the place. He kept saying, "Jumping outside funny" and then he would laugh. It was so cute to watch him have such a fun time!
