Little Man...Jacob woke up this morning complaining of a headache and tummy ache. After further investigation, he has a low grade fever. Gave him some tylenol and rest time and some breakfast. Says he feels fine now but still has low grade fever so we will be having a nice, quiet, inside day at the Elliott household.

I think everyone has a touch of ESP on something that allows them to sense things...especially children. I think Jacob is particularly in tune to that. He constantly amazes us with things he says or predicts. Yesterday, we pulled up in a cab to a apartment building to pick up another woman to take to church. As soon as we got to the building, Jacob said he thought the elevator was broken. I told him maybe so. The taxi driver said we ought to listen because he found children usually knew what they were talking about. We waited about 5 minutes and when the woman came out, we left. A couple of minutes later, the driver asked the woman how she was and she said fine except the elevator in her building was broken and that was why it had taken her so long! WOW!!! That has happened on multiple occasions and it just amazes me. It was a building we had never been in.

Little Girl...Miss Julia, as usual, is a bundle of energy and always full of surprises. She insists upon calling friends and strangers "Sweetie", "Honey", and "Sweet Heart". Most people think it is very endearing. Our taxi driver yesterday loved being called sweetie.
