Jacob started his third grade year yesterday morning.  It is no secret that his confidence took a nose-dive in 2nd grade, and we are all hoping for a great year in 3rd.  He is our worrier…especially at night.  To cope we've had him write down some of his fears and anxieties.  He sometimes writes them down and throws them downstairs for us to read on our own time (he does this after we've put him to bed).  Early on Monday morning, I found a note on the floor that read, "Have butterflies in stomach.  Not sure about school".  This makes me smile and clutch my heart at the same time…he's always been very keyed in to his emotions.  He was in great spirits on Monday morning and came home on cloud nine.  He loves his teacher, Mrs Rutter, who doesn't have a "stern voice" (this is his benchmark for "niceness").  She told him that there is a little bit of Science in every subject, which thrills him to no end.  I am so pleased that he's happy!

Our handsome, smart, talented, and charismatic Jacob…
