As of now in our family Jacob is the great neutralizer. I don't think he realizes how much his brother and sister count on him. The energy of his being is significantly absent even with only being gone one day at school.
As I dropped Jack off at school today he asked if I was going to wait with him. I told him no parents aren't allowed in the gate anymore. He then said "What am I going to do then?" I reassured him to look for Jacob and there were lots of kids to play with. He looked so small as he walked ever so slowly to the gate, lingered on the outside looking in before walking threw it.
Just the presences of Jacob makes Jack braver. Even Amelia will stay somewhere without Dada or I if she knows Jacob is with her. We are so lucky to have such a terrific boy in our family. One that brings reassurance, comfort and confidence with just his presence.
