Jacob at almost 4 1/2

I want to be better at documenting all of Jacob's life, but I just can't seem to sit down and write. Maybe if I write him a letter at the end of each post, I will do better at documenting. I want to do it so bad. He is the best kid and I want to remember all of his moments, big and small. I also want him to be able to look back at his life. Early life. I get overwhelmed when I think about how much I have missed writing down, but, I think I will just start from today, maybe hit some recent big events but be better from here on out.

Jacob is just the best little man. He has such passion for all things, especially Disney movies (Frozen; Beauty adn the Beast; Little Mermaid are recent favorites). He has also gotten into Star Wars. This started when we went to WDW this past January. (Post on that to come later). We went on Star Tours (his first "big" kid ride that required him to be at least 40 inches) and from then on he has LOVED Star Wars. Josh just got him the Star Wars Trilogy today, so we might watch #1 tonight.

Jacob LOVES playing hockey. He started Learn to Skate in the fall and he has just gotten really good. The will play in the cellar and outside on the little frozen pond for as long as we will let him. (full post on Hockey to come). Jacob is also doing Dance right now and loving it. Recital is in May; his class is dancing to Rainbow Connection. He iwll start Tee Ball at the beginning of May as well.

Jacob has a heart of gold and takes such good care of his mommy. For instance, my glucomoeter was sitting across the room on the couch and Jacob brought it to me just in case I needed it. My neck was hurting the other day and he wanted to kiss and hug it. He always wants "one more kiss and hug" which is OK with me. Last Friday Josh was in Hilton Head and I told Jacob that we could have a movie night. Well, when I picked him up form preschool, he said he wanted to go eat at the Purple Pub instead. So - we had a mommy/son date night. It was great!

Jacob is really into College talk right now. He wants to know how he will get to his classes - walk or ride a bus. He wants to know what the different grades mean and knows that "if he wants to get into Williams he needs to get A's."

He is his daddy's right hand man and wants to be with him all the time. ADORABLE.

Dear Jacob: I hope you always have a sense of humor and a caring heart. Daddy and I are so happy to be your parents and we are so proud of all the things you have accomplished in preschool and in sports. We are looking forward to seeing you grow and to cheer you on in whatever you are doing. We love watching and supporting you! You make us so very happy!
XO, Mommy
