Good Morning Mr. Jackson!

Jordyn: “Good Morning Mr. Jackson!”
Jackson: "Where have you been? I have been  looking EV-ER-Y-WHE-RE for you.”

Inseparable, that is how Jordyn’s teacher would describe her and her new little 4 year old beau “Mr. Jackson” during their early morning preschool class. 

I was running a little behind one morning as I hastily worked through my washing, dressing, and scrambling of eggs routine. I was merely five minutes overdue when I walked through the preschool door greeting Ms. Tiffany, Jordyn’s new preschool teacher. “Sorry, I’m a little late.” I apologetically explained. Just then Jackson cool and collectively walked across the room and with a mild determination took his stance. “Where have you been? I have been looking EV-ER-Y-WHE-RE for you!” he anxiously proclaimed as if he had searched the whole world over. He then took Jordyn by the hand and guided her towards the Play-Doh table.

At this age you may find that some kids attach themselves to a parent, their favorite toy or blanket, but not these two. They have learned early how to find the eternal comfort in another human being; the reliability and assurance of a true friend indeed.
