When you have as many kids as I do, you ca be guaranteed that birthdays come quickly. Today Jacob is 13 years old!! It seems a lifetime ago that he was born, so early and so tiny- 4 lbs and 6 wks early. So here is a list for him on this special day.
13. He is a deep thinker. Many times it seems as if he is being lazy, but reality is that he is pondering.
12. He is a great friend to others. He often sees needs that are overlooked and trys to help.
11. He has great compassion.
10. He works hard, when he finally knuckles down to do a job, he does it well.
9. He makes me laugh.
8. He is often in a hurry- can you tell by his early arrival in this world?
7. He takes great care of Brandi. They have a bond that stretches to the pre-existence with promises and deals made there.
6. He is a great student.
5. He is an amazing artist. Once he drew a picture and I thought he had traced it- not true- he drew it!
4. He is a very sensitive soul. I think that is a good thing in a male.
3. I miss him when he is not home.
2. He was named after my great-grandfather (Mansel Hardy Thompson= Jacob Hardy), One of the greatest men. Jake will grow up to be just as great. I know it, I can already see it.
1. He has amazing musical talent. He started piano lessons and did 2 yrs. worth of work in 2 months. He is just as great on the percussion instruments.
Happy Birthday son!!!
