Picnic

Every now and then, Jacob surprises me with how sweet he can be as the big brother of the family. We had Blake, Bryce & Becca's daughter, over today for a play date. Usually Adam is left out during the day while his older brothers team up and leave him in the dust. We love it when she comes so he has a friend to entertain him. Today, all the kids played together and they were having so much fun. They decided to play outside in the 110 degree heat for reasons I can't understand. Blake told Jacob she was hungry so he asked me if he could make her a sandwich. Next thing I know, he has created a fully set table outside for them with peanut butter & jelly sandwiches and water. Too bad they were too busy playing to eat any of it but it made me smile that he went to the effort for them. Jacob is usually a "looks out for himself" kind of guy so it really touches me when he goes out of his way to do something for someone else.
