Jake turned 7 today. It just doesn't seem possible. He was such a little guy when he was born and now he is a first grader. He is a funny kid, likes to make people laugh and says the most off the wall things. You just never know what he is going to say. He is very inquisitive, he likes to know a lot of detail and asks some pretty deep questions. He is very into old time cars and pays close attention to the makes and models of cars, trucks, semis, and tractors. The more uncommon, the more interesting to him. He loves to draw and can't sit in the car unless he has a pad of paper and pen. He draws with great thought and detail and has some amazing artwork.
Grandma and Grandpa Wahlert brought Jacob's present down so they could set it up in his room when he got home from school. Peepaw made him a red bookshelf barn. It is pretty awesome and Jake loves it. He has always enjoyed setting up Jayden's Barbie stuff, mostly the animals, however as she gets older he has noticed she likes to play less and less all the time. We got him a big set of play dogs and accessories that he sets up in his barn.
Since it was taekwondo night, the Grandparents took Jake to his lesson and watched. He has also recently started in the big kid class, no more tiny tigers. The class is more serious and an hour long. He seems to be doing well so far. I really think taekwondo is good for him in so many ways and I hope he will enjoy it.
After class, we had both sets of Grandparents join us for a birthday dinner of Jake's favorite quesadillas. Jayden serenaded with Happy Birthday on her saxophone. She is playing so good.
