stellar star

I was pleasantly surprised to find this picture of Jacob (I think Ryan was using the camera) and fell in love with it because it really shows off his happy, silly, teasing personality. Jacob earned a "stellar star award" at school last week for being a know-it-all in a very good way. His teacher was discussing President's Day and began introducing President Lincoln when Jacob raised his hand and proceeded to tell the class all about Lincoln being assasinated, including all the details about who, what, where, when, etc. His teacher gave him the star award which means he got to visit the principal's office for positive reinforcement, call me at home to tell me what an awesome thing he'd done & get more congrats from me, and then put his award on the school office window in hopes of being drawn to earn fantastic rewards later. When I was talking with him at home later in the day he told me that his knowledge about Lincoln is really all thanks to Jared for telling him that stuff (Jared LOVES history). It's amazing what little brothers learn from older brothers. Thank goodness Jacob knew that the part about "Lincoln sold poison milk to schoolchildren" (The Simpson's) wasn't true and left it out of the story!
