Why I love Pratum, Part 2

Josiah has started making friends at Pratum. This is a great sign - since his biggest reason for not wanting to leave Grant Elementary was because he didn't want to leave his friends. However, I've been a little nervous - not a lot, just a little - because his two closest friends so far, are fifth graders. It makes sense to me - he has always hung out with cousins older than him and he's a mature kind of kid - but I was kind of surprised when I asked him who he hung out with, and he named a couple fifth graders.

So I found a valentine on the floor today. It was Larry the Cucumber from Veggie Tales. It had a verse on it, "Love comes from God." 1 John 4:7. I turn it over, thinking it's probably Tye's, and see that it's to Josiah, from his 5th grade friend. This is another reason why I love Pratum, 5th graders who give Veggie Tales valentines.

And his other 5th grade friend is the nephew of one of Jeff's good friends from high school. I love this community!!
