Jacob's getting seriously old.  He turns eight today.  That's halfway to getting a driver's license!  He's pretty excited about the birthday thing and very excited to be eight.  You remember how it was as a kid.  Once you hit eight, seven seems so childish and young.  Kids who are still seven, all of a sudden are no longer your peer group, but instead "those little kids."
I'm excited for him, but I'm feeling a little old myself now.  He drags me right along with him, despite his bad math.  This morning, as I dropped him off at school, he said, "Now, you're only nineteen years older than me."  I replied, "No, actually I'll always be twenty and a half years older than you."  He came back with, "but you're twenty-seven."  I'm hoping that if he goes on believing that I am twenty-seven, then I'll somehow magically stay that age with the power of his faith.  What do you think?  Possible?
