Happy Birthday Jake!!!!

Last Wednesday was Jake's 5th Birthday!!! That just doesn't seem right. We had a blast on his birthday. We went to a bounce house, to McDonald's and then we came home and had homemade mac and cheese and chicken nuggets for his favorite meal. We of course had cake and opened presents. You can read about our birthday traditions here. I just thought I would take a minute and tell you what a hero my birthday boy was on his big day!!!
When we got to McDonalds this mom with 2 little girls came in. The mom was shouting at the little girls "If you go up there you will find your own way down...I am NOT coming up to get you again!!!" I completely understood where she is coming from I have said this to both of my kids at some point. And of course the little girl went to the very top and got stuck and the mom stood here ground for a while. The girl finally got really upset and the mom was about to go up there and Jake said "I'll go get here!" So he climbed to the top and spoke softly to the little girl. "Take my hand and I will help you down." When she would make it to each level she would sit and wait for Jake to climb down below her and she would take his hand and he would pull her down to the next level until they finally made it out. He was so sweet and patient with her. It was priceless and I was a PROUD momma!!! He is growing into such a sweet little gentlemen!!!
