I LOVE my boy

What can I say!? My sweet 8 year old boy never ceases to amaze me with the facts and information he keeps stored in his young mind. He's fully versed on the solar system, (his favorite subject) just ask him anything. Sometimes he asks me questions about a planet that I don't even know the answer too, but you can bet once he hears the answer he'll never forget it. I LOVE working as Jake's scout leader and that is where I have noticed it the most. He honestly seems to know eveything about everything! We will research that weeks topic to teach the boys, and you can bet Jake will add some additional facts that we didn't know. And at church when the teacher relates a story, he will always add some additional detail giving the names of each person or the town etc. Like this Sunday on the story of the Good Samaritan, they left out the fact that each person who passed by was a different religion, such as a pharisee and a levite. He's quite impressive. I know he's one of my own and I'm sure I'm terribly biased but he really has an amazing memory and he's such a great kid. So, I just want to spotlight my sweet baby boy. I know he takes after his daddy! I tell Marc he has a great memory and can pull out important information (world news, geographical info) anytime and in my defense he always tells me that I have a great memory for names and faces; mostly movie or t.v. stars, something he can never remember. I'm thinking his skills are probably more important in a social discussion, but if we ever run into some movie stars at least I'll know their names.
