My grandson, Jacob, started preschool this year. Thankfully, he is enjoying it very much and was even upset that they didn't offer it on Saturdays!
On the first day of school, however, he did suggest to his mom that maybe he shouldn't go because, "you won't be there . . . and I love you!"
But later at school, he made the adjustment a little too abruptly, as far as his mom was concerned, when he sat down with the other kids on the carpet for story time and looked up at his mom and said, "Okay, Mom, see you later!"
He is especially enjoying making new friends. There are a large number of Hispanics in his class and because Jacob didn't want anyone to feel left out, he told his teacher that he would be friends with any of the kids that didn't speak English.
So you might be wondering how he goes about breaking through the barriers of communication and culture. His approach is quite simple, actually.
He just goes up to them and with a sincere and welcoming heart says, "Hola amigo! Want a taco?"
Can you imagine the possibilities that await him as he grows into adulthood? Could we be looking at a future Ambassador to Mexico? Whatever he becomes, God has great plans for him!

A very gifted child. Can't wait to see how God will use him as an adult.
ReplyDeleteI think he is absolutely adorable to be so outgoing, curious, and happy to get involved. He'll go far for sure; he is going to be a great learner.. His transitions are accomplished very quickly for his age, and he seems to be attracted to a path all of his own. Yep, he has Leadership Qualities already in the making. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is great! Not only funny, but he is an awesome kid, too!
