Caring Award!

Today Jacob received the Caring award from his school. Every month each teacher chooses one boy and one girl from their class to receive a special character award. They focus on different character traits, and Jacob received one for "being a person of character by being kind, compassionate, expressing gratitude and helping others". Way to go Jacob! I'm especially proud that Jacob received the award for caring. He can sometimes be a challenge for us. He is a bit stubborn and he has a little bit of a temper. Sometimes I think we're doing everything wrong with this kid, and then he goes and gets an award that has to do with caring! Wow, guess we're doing a better job with him than I thought. His teacher told him that she likes how he always says excuse me. He is a totally different kid at home, then when he's at school. :) We are proud of you Jacob! You are such a great example to others. We love you bud!

Here he is with his certificate outside of his school. No, that isn't sunburn on his face and neck. It's a shadow that's hitting his shirt weird and reflecting off of it.

The kids had early release so he was rewarded with McDonald's for lunch and playing at the park. Since they have to wear uniforms, he put on his cool new shirt after school and wanted to show it off with his certificate, again. Isn't he cute? :)
