Five or fifteen?

My Jacob is the handiest fellow to have around.  He brings me flowers.  He folds washcloths and rags.  He will do anything that requires the use of a screwdriver, like replacing the batteries in all the toys, or taking apart a crib.  He loves to use the hand tool on the vacuum cleaner.  He decided to help me the other day when I was busy packing so he hand-washed some dishes.  He keeps a great eye out for his younger brothers and is especially helpful with Camden.  Yesterday he did doodle duty all on his own (cleaning up after Daisy), and today when I couldn't figure out how to open up the CD rom on our new computer, I called Jacob, who had it open in about 5 seconds.  Is this kid five or fifteen?  I LOVE having him in our family.

Side bonus:  his hair looks really cool after playing in the lake all day.  I've since given him a haircut.  Pictured here with his "sweet princess Ellie".
