Jackson is Eight!

It is wonderful to see Jackson turning into such a little man. He is such a sweet brother and does so much to show all of his family how much he loves them. He is also a really good friend and reaches out to others. Towards the end of last school year Jackson had the chance to go to recess early for some kind of reward for good behavior. The understanding was that he could choose one friend to go with him. Jackson was torn up about this because he didn't want to hurt anyone for not choosing them. He then remembered a kid that didn't have a lot of friends, and someone who didn't get chosen often, and picked that kid to have early recess with him. This is the kind of boy Jackson is. He was excited to get $2 from the tooth fairy so he could give one of his dollars to Natalie so she wouldn't feel bad, since she hasn't even lost one tooth yet. We love him so much and are so grateful for the young man he is becoming.
