the Jacob fan club

Jacob does seem to like school. When I pick him up at 3:30 and ask, " did you learn anything?" he says, "yes! Something good and special. " We've been going to different places to ride the elevator up and down, at his request. We've been to the library, the bank and the medical arts building. We go to one place each day. Today we may go to Plumb Hall. Jacob really looks forward to it, I call it our after school activity. I hope it helps him to relax and to do something he would like to do. I bring him something cold to drink because they are outside playing from 3 to 3:30 and he was so red in the face and so hot the first time I picked him up, I want to make sure he is getting enough to drink before we go on our activity. Jacob is very easy to hang out with. He follows directions and holds my hand and he never makes a fuss and he is always glad to see people. He is friendly and likes to talk. He has a little friend who's name is Edward. They sit next to each other in class. I met his mom the other day she teaches at another school in town. Beth and Peter go over to their house and the kids play together. So it's worked out nicely for the boy to have each other to talk to. While will keep you posted on our big adventures.

Carol!!! I am sure Jacob would like to start a fan club for you and Tom. Both of you are so good to him. I know Jacob enjoys the adventures you plan for him,plus all the treats you provide. You are a sweet aunt and sister, Carol. Thank you so much for being there for Jacob. It is nice to hear that he likes school and likes learning "good and special things."

Yay! I want to be a member of the Jacob fan club too!! I love this story, Carol. I love that you and Jacob do an activity every day after school, and I can't wait to hear about your adventures in Plumb Hall. I wish I were teaching there, so I could meet you for one of your elevator rides. :-)

Oh what a fun great aunt you are Carol. You are so wonderful with kids, always finding fun interesting things to stimulate them. What fun to see the world through the eyes of a 4 year old. You need to keep a notebook with words of wisdom from Jacob. We look forward to learning more about Jacob's school days and the special things he is learning and the adventures he has after school. Katie we hope your Wichita students are as fun and creative as the KSU students. Have fun everyone.
