I hear about Jack all the time. He has been in Alec's preschool class for the last two years, and is one of Alec's favorite people in Iowa. Pretty much everything Jack does makes Alec crack up. They recently started calling each other Captain Jack and Captain Alec, both pirate ship captains of course! 
On this particular day we invited Jack over for a playdate while Elyssa was at school. They had a blast together, building ships and cities and planning out their treasure finding expeditions without having to worry about sharing with younger siblings.
Though Alec has been slow to warm up to other kids at school, Jack has consistently been a kind friend. I really appreciate that. I remember my mom talking about how much she appreciated the good friends I had growing up and I never really understood it until I had my own kids. You want your children to have good influences, people that appreciate them for they really are, and Jack is one of those kind of friends. I am thankful for Jack.
Three cheers for good friends!
