Time for a New School

(From my journal to Jacob)

You are so amazing. You can memorize songs so quickly. You can recite most of The Polar Express, including the background music and sound effects.

You love to sing and you have such a sweet voice! You've been testing us more over the past year. It's more that you want to have a say in how things should be. We try to go along with this, but obviously, there's a limit! :)

It's crazy how much you understand -- how fuel goes into the car and burns up in the engine, how a fire hydrant works, how electricity runs through the wires. You want to know details about everything and you retain it!

You're really into snacks. You don't have a lot of interest in actual meals. Just snacks. A few months ago, you abruptly decided that you like peanut butter. We're pretty sure it's because kids at school eat it. You're now going to Speedway Baptist for school. The teacher, Miss Patty, adores you and says you're so good and so smart. Another teacher said a lot of parents want to know what we did with you to make you so good and smart. (I think we mostly lucked out.)

The other day you told me that if you die you'll go to heaven. You said it's because Jesus helps us. You then asked, "Why does he do that?" It was really cute.

You still have a lot of fears. You're not as afraid of smoke detectors, but you still don't like them. You worry about things like wild animals escaping from the zoo, not having parents, monsters, vines, etc.

You love movies and trains. A week or two ago, you started saying you wanted to go visit George Bob and Papa. You called, and George Bob came the next day to pick you up!

Things Jacob Says:
"I'm am... (going to do that)."
Uses "also, too, and either" correctly.
