resending for connie
Jayden turned 5 on March 18th. What an impressive first 5 years. My son has exceeded my expectations which is hard to do... I have high ones for him. He has an engineers mind, a hyper excitement, tunnel vision that is so focused he can ignore anything and anyone. Jayden loves to construct and move things and not pick up anything!! that he takes out.
Jayden cares a lot about people, trying to take the blame for things his friends and especially his sister to wrong. He loves spending time with his family and always wants the next adventure.. that is unless he is focused on the current adventure. He can write his name and he can, with a skip of a few numbers, count to 100. He is even drawing within the lines.
He is so into the number 5 now. He is 50 pounds exactly and 45 inches tall. He passed his hearing test and vision. Jayden loves to play the wii with his mommy and build trains and geo trax's with daddy.
What impresses me the most about my son is his heart. That boys wears his heart on his sleeve and it shows in his face and his eyes.. that oh so cute boy shows his emotions all over. Nothing, and I mean nothing will make my wife go on attack mode more than seeing her little boy hurting... she wants to protect him all the time. I want Jayden to get a little thinker skin, but I will always, always make sure that his adventurous and innocent, happy look of life stays as long as I can. I know that I can be hard on him, and I know that it seems to others that I am harsh. But all I want is to make sure that Jayden knows that he can be crazy wild, but with boundaries.
He loved going to Chucky Cheese and he loved getting his presents. He plays Hot Wheels at least once a day and the computer.. he has learned to start it himself and get online. (I set him up on Chrome so he can only go to PBS Kids, Nick Jr, Cool Math Games, and Disney Jr.)
He is getting so old as now he gets up in the morning and gets his own food and drink as well as dressing himself (with the constant badgering from his mother and father.) He is, well, growing up. It has been such an awesome year for us and I hope that life just gets better.
We are so fortunate that we have such a strong family around us... it means so much to Alison and I that people around us love our children. People that are trustworthy and caring, who make Kallee and Jayden laugh and run and feel loved. To all of you a heartfelt thank you, because our children not only love having you around, but truly need having you around. Also know for a fact that Jayden can bring sunshine into your day as well. He is a great kid and I am so proud of him.
So for Jayden I cannot wait to sail into the next adventure with you... what will we become next... pirates,,, super heros... maybe trains, who knows,, but two things will be for sure... I will be tired at the end and Jayden will want to do more....
I love you Jayden, Happy Birthday!
