Mr. Smarty Pants

Jacob has decided that he HATES school and he is not going. It's as simple as that, his decision has been made and there was nothing you could do to persuade him otherwise. I have been sick and in bed and he never reacts well to that, he also has been waking up at 5:00, yes, a.m. So we assumed it was that and forced him to go to school. He has had a few small anxiety things like Jenna but not enough for us to show concern and we certainly aren't going to hop on that train too quick again. Anyway, his teacher asked what she could do to make school more fun for him so that he would come without crying. He put his hands on his hips, looked her straight in the eye, and said word for word, "give me harder work". He's been telling me that school was too easy and I knew that he was bored but I didn't think it was that bad. What kid actually wants more work? Jacob. That's who. Jacob is such a smarty pants that he is too smart for Kindergarten, not that it's that hard to do. Luckily, Miss Abraham also likes extra work and doesn't mind working a little more with Jacob so he isn't so bored and is a bit more challenged. Thank goodness for great teachers!
