Jacob's compassion

Jacob is one of the kindest most compassionate people I know and he's only 4. Today while I was giving Amelia and Jack a bath he asked if he could have a snack. In the middle of the bath, I told him he can go and get one himself. Several minutes later I stand at the top of the stairs to yell down to Jacob about his snack. He yells back he hadn't gotten one yet because the dog was sad and he was sitting by it. Well after the bath I come down stairs to find  that Jacob had pushed the dog kennel over to the chair he was going to sit in so it wouldn't be lonely before he got himself something to eat. It is so impressive to see that he would be so empathetic toward another living thing. He put off his own snack to make sure the dog was comforted first. What a great kid!
