Concern for a friend

The things that kids say will never cease to amuse me! Tonight Matthew came home from our neighbors (his best friend Jacob), because Jacob had gotten into trouble, well Mattie had this look in his eye that said I better go talk to Jennifer to make sure Matthew was not a part of "Jacob's" getting in to trouble. Well he was innocent. Jennifer said he was fine. So we were standing there talking and after Jacob was out of time out the boys started playing. Matthew had ridden his bike back to Jacob's (it was to far for him to walk), and Jacob wanted to try Matthews bike. Well Jacob is still on training wheels and is shorter than Matthew. Matthew looked at him and said "I really don't think you should try, this is a big responsibility!" We laughed so hard. He sounded so serious and so concerned for Jacobs well being. He even told Jacob "I just really don't want you to get hurt!" He is such a sweet kid! Tomorrow we go on his first field trip to the zoo. I think I am more excited than he is. It is so fun to watch him with his friends. He has already made two good friends. Grant who is the little brother to Michaels best friend Connor, who believe it or not was born the same day as Matthew the year Connor and Michael were in pre-school together, and Zachary whom he just met. I hope the weather is nice and I will be sure to post pics later.
