Jacob the Great
Like most parents…I think, we want to know every little detail about our child’s day and like most kids…I’m pretty sure, they give us bupkus /zero/zilch. So with the lazy days of summer in full swing, no homework on the horizon and no way to keep tabs on Jacob while he’s at camp, we came to a deal. Jacob is all about deals these days and so after a few weeks off, we agreed that he would write 2 sentences each evening about his day.
First, it will keep him on track to entering 1st grade without forgetting everything he learned in Kindergarten and second, and most self-serving, is that we get something. Some little bit of information that will open a window into the free living world of camp plus, we got tired of asking “how was your day?” and getting “fine.” So, we’re a few weeks into it and he is being very cooperative, even enjoying it a bit I think cause it relieves some of the pressure of having to remember and recount each and every detail but…here is what I came home to yesterday (-:

He has an iPad and he is not afraid to use it. You will appreciate this. The other day I was checking into a place via Foursquare and got excited cause I won the Mayorship so Jacob says, “I'm going to check in, I want to be the Mayor” so I ask, “the Mayor of what? He says, “The Mayor of Friendship!” LOL
