I was so excited I was one of the few picked to help at Jacob's school field trip to the zoo. I like seeing him interact with the kids in his classroom and find out how he is different from at home. Its not something I get to do very often...schools are very different here in South Park and it is near impossible to go inside the school with out a bunch of clearances and special permission...one of the many things I miss about the west, but I will say that Jacob has learned a lot this year...they are very acedemic.
The boys.
The Class.
The Bus.

Jacob (oh I am sorry, I am told he is Jake now) has a whole new love for sports...he has always liked and played them but he has taken it to a whole new level. He is learning all the sports terminology, he fights with his sister over watching ESPN instead of a cartoon, she'll even watch a cartoon he might like and he would still pick the sports. When My dad was here, the girls had no chance...with 3 huge sports fans and the NBA finals and Stanley cup finals all in the same week!
Some of the cute things he does with sports:
1. He says the pittsburgh penguins are "versing" the LA Kings instead of "playing"
2. He is such a fair weather fan...As soon as the penguins ( his favorite player was Malkin) lost in the semi finals, he moved onto New York (favorite player: Lundquist) and when they lost he moved onto the LA Kings (favorite player: Jonathan Quick)
3. He has to dress up when the game is on (see picture below)
4. he calls his favorite players by their first name. Andrew McCutchin of course would be Andrew, Jonathan Quick-Jonathan, and Evgeni(sp) Malkin- Evgeni...It's like he knows them personally.
This was Jake's 1st year of real baseball (coach pitch)...no t-ball this time. Even though he was the smallest on the team and had less experience than most he improved quite a bit and did well!
Favorite position to play: 1st base and Catcher
Also, his first year of competitive soccer.
Favorite position: Goalie or offence
The hockey goalie costume.
The Stance
Baseball on the wii...he does so much better on this game since playing the real thing.
The last day of first grade...it was pouring! Can't believe I have a 2nd grader...it gets weirder and weirder every year.
It has been a rough year for Jacob, this move was probably the hardest on him and it has taken a lot of adjusting for him, but he is a trooper and hopefully next year will be that much better for him because of it...so proud of my little guy!
