Makes everything else seem not so bad.

This evening at church, both of Jakob’s teachers made a point of telling me how sweet Jakob is. One even had tears in her eyes telling me of Jakob’s gentleness with another boy in his class. You see, usually I hear of how Jake did “OK”, “not bad” or other “not great” comments. It is wonderful to hear the amazing stories of your child being loving and caring and helpful.

Jake was in class sitting in a circle with the rest of the class. Another boy (one of his friends) got really embarrassed and buried his head in his hands on the floor. Jake got up from where he was sitting and went over to this boy and rubbed his back, not saying a word.

Despite Jakob’s broken arm, he was the only one who got up and got a chair for a girl who arrived late and didn’t have a chair. Out of 12+ kids in his class, he was the ONLY one. His teacher made a point of telling the class what a gentleman he was in front of the whole class! What a much needed boost for JAKOB!

Now if some of that sweetness can take over the orneriness!

Love you Jake. You ARE a sweet boy and you amaze me everyday with your kind heart and love for other people.
