School Daze

Jacob's first semester of "school" is over. Mother's Morning Out wrapped up the fall/winter season with a kids Christmas party this morning. Jacob was decked out in his Christmas gear, fired up and ready to go!

He has really warmed up to his teachers and enjoyed his time there. He has missed a few days because of sickness and had a couple of "downer" days where he has cried for his Mommy but other than that, it's been great for him.

His teachers are good to him. They made him a couple of tree ornaments. Thank goodness for these as you all know what happened to many of our ornaments a couple weeks back!

Jacob has also honed his artistic skills some more. You may remember the pumpkin from Halloween. Well, check out the Christmas tree! If you look closely, you will notice the colors Jacob used in the first picture match the colors on his art below! This boy gets it!

This last picture is my favorite. It's grainy because it was taken by a cell phone. Our friend, David Parnell, was picking up his children when he looked in Jacobs room and surveyed the scene below.

If you can't tell, Jacob is reading a book to himself in the rocking chair. This is the first picture that I'm aware of inside of "school." It was actually taken this morning during the Christmas party. There is very little that will get in the way of Jacob and a good book.
