Field Day for Jacob



Last Friday was Field Day at Jacob's school. His class and all the other first grade classes enjoyed foot races, sack races, water games, and many other hot sweaty fun activities.  He had a great time and enthusiastically encouraged and cheered on his classmates. I was really impressed with how well his classmates treat each other and I credit his teacher, Priscilla Hammond, for being such an encourager herself.  She is a lovely woman.









Jacob did not place in any of the races, but he did win the Good Sportsmanship award for his great attitude.  Mrs. Hammond was happy to award him the gold ribbon.



After the games were over, the girls and I treated Jacob to a yummy Caramel Crunch shake at Hardees.  It was a well-deserved treat!
