My Golden boy...


Forgive me while I journal a bit more about my Jacob. His birthday was wonderful. He appreciated and enjoyed every single thing.

I love that you call your hair Golden (not blonde). So now we call you our "golden" boy.

I love that when I do Laundry your pockets are stock full of the most interesting items. Your pants have holes in all the knees. You are all boy!

I love that packed your suitcase 2 months before our trip to Yellow Stone or as you call it "Golden" stone. You are that excited!

I love that when you have a friend over I have to watch out for you because you are so nice that they take advantage of it. One time you had a friend who wanted both the transformers and you were sad but you gave them both to him and said you would just do something else. You often let your friends play one player games and just sit and watch even when I know its not what you want to do. Like I said sometimes I have to intervine.




I love that you adore your sisters. You take such care of them.

You love to be outside ALL.THE.TIME. You will spend hours riding your bike back and forth or playing in the backyard. Even in the winter. All of neighbors comment on this.



I love that every time I ask you how something was you respond with GRRRRREAT (imagine Tony the Tiger)! You have a optimistic and happy attitude about life. I hope you will always keep this quality because it is one of the best things about you. Everyone who knows you comments on your great disposition.

His new BMX clothes!

I love how your eyes light up when I volunteer in your class.

You're not perfect. You can be stubborn and when someone (like Lindsey) pushes your buttons you can get pretty mad. That might be a good thing. You hate all caseroles and would rather starve than even take one bite.

I feel so lucky to be your mother. To have you in our family spreading all your excitement and love. I know you were meant to join our family when you did. To be the one just a bit older than the twins. You were amazing as a 2yr old often left unattended you never did a single naughty thing. That was a miracle. You are Grrrreat!

I love you!

Love,
Mommy

What a great (ggrrreat!) brother! I can't believe he did not one single naughty thing! Can't you think of at least one? ;) You can tell by his expression that he's a really sweet kid. As my mom would say, "He's a keeper!"

He really is a golden boy. He is usually outside when I have come to visit and during the winter when the walks were icy he tried to spred the salt out where we were going to walk so we would not slip. He is such a sweetheart!
