Jacob

So I decided that the first set of my blogs is going to be about my kids.  They will each get their own post and I will do them on different days.  I don't want to half ass the last one because I'm tired of writing.  lol   I'm going to go oldest to youngest to make it easier and this little piece will be at the beginning of each one in case you come in reading on one of the other kids names first.  :)

So now we are on to my middle child, Jacob.  Jacob is by far the most sensitive of the four.  He gets embarrassed so easily and over everything.  When he was in Kindergarten he had a little school crush on a girl in his class.  We wouldn't make fun of him but if you asked about her he would tell you to be quiet and would get to the point of tears because he was so embarrassed.  We quickly learned not to say too much about it.  Although I admit to asking and using that outburst to tell him to calm down and realize nobody was making fun of him. 

Jacob has a huge heart and loves everybody.  Besides arguments and fights with his siblings he doesn't seem to have a mean bone in his body.  He loves babies and I frequently have to remind him not to touch other peoples children in the store.  lol   He just loves how cute and little they are.  Maybe he prefers little to big when they can yell and hit you.  lol   He is super friendly when you get to know him but very shy until you do.  This I believe helped him not to be a trouble maker in class.  He was very focused and never really got in trouble.  He has a much harder time, then his brother did, learning school things but he is a whiz at video games.  Christopher often gets irritated that his younger brother always seems to win at them.  He loves the Wii and PlayStation.  I think he prefers game systems for the TV then playing handheld games. 

Out of the boys Jacob is by far the laziest.  He whines when he has to clean his room, which is only maybe twice a week if that.  He hates to read, which is part of his homework.  When I ask one of the other kids for help he says "you never ask me" and when I tell him it's because he complains he denies it, then I ask him and he doesn't want to do it.  lol  He takes the longest to do anything and it drives me crazy a lot of the time.  I can tell I am gonna have to find ways to keep him active.  :)   If he doesn't have a video game or there isn't a TV he gets bored real easy.  But I do have to say if we are outside he is active and a part of playing.  He doesn't sit and wait until we go home. 

Jacob also seems to have a hard time with change.  In Kindergarten when the routine was changed he got upset because it wasn't in the order they usually do things.  Even now in 1st grade, his dad was switched to night shift and he can't have his dad drop him off at school or he cries.  Something about it just upsets him...it's not normal and maybe it's because it reminds him that he won't see him again until the next morning.  Jacob is such a love bug and has the cutest squishiest nose I have ever seen.  He has the cutest little freckles sprinkled across his cheek bones and nose.  :)

Jacob is my sweet, shy, sensitive, move at his own pace love bug.  He is gonna be a great guy if he stays this way and I will do all I can to help that.  :)
