This weekend my daughter, grandson Jacob and I are going to visit our dear friends B & H. It' s H's birthday and every year since Jacob has been old enough, he has been the one to pick out H's very special birthday gift. They are not your run of the mill birthday gifts. Each one is hand picked with love by Jacob who is 5 years old and loves H more than anyone deserves to be loved...just kidding.
This year is no different. We already have one picked out, it's just making certain we can get it this time of year. So, the other day I said to Jacob, what are you thinking about H's birthday gift. He thought for a moment and said...I know. I think he needs more soap. Well, I thought it was something to do with washing their hands, but no. It's much more scientific than that. Last year in their garden deer were eating some of the vegetables, and as a deterrent H would hang a bar of soap and hopefully save the veggies. Jacob remembered this and thought soap for H's birthday would be right on target. Now I just need to know the brand, cause I don't want to come empty-handed, or with Ivory when it should have been Dove.

That is amazing. I'm not kidding. Not only because he remembered the soap but because he knows what H loves and enjoys. He observes. I'm actually stunned that a five year old can put it all together like that when most adults don't have the imagination to think of the right gift for someone. I'm struggling to come up with something. He's so thoughtful.
Oh, I forgot. It's Irish Spring. They don't like the smell.
