Hey buddy-
So you are the big 8 years old! What a birthday this was for you. You had so much fun on this day. You were special enough to be able to get baptized on your birthday. So after your baptism we went back to our house and had a birthday party for you. All of your cousins came to support you. It was such a nice day.
You have grown up so much in these past 8 years. I still cant believe that I have an 8 year old son!! Jacob, you are so special to us. I am so glad that you are my son.
This past month has been a trying one on you. You sure are trying hard at school, and I can tell. However, I think that you need more help than you are getting at school. You are having so much fun making new friends and it makes me so happy. I got a happy tear in my eye the other day because when I dropped you off at school I actually saw a boy calling your name and wanted you to come to him. And that makes me so happy. At school you are doing wonderful, socially. You are making friends and you are being so good to them and they are being so good to you. But adjusting to class is not easy for you. You are having a hard time listening and following directions. I get to meet with your teacher and the special ed department and we are going to figure out what to do to be able to help you.
I love you buddy and im so glad that you are my big 8 year old now.
Love,
Mommy
