J man.....

that is what we call you in our house. I don't know if I have ever snapped a picture that best describes your fun, charismatic, full of life personality.  I am soaking up this year with you before heading off to kindergarten next year.  Oh my, where does the time go.  You are learning some good lessons at school right now about sitting still, paying attention, etc. I am so proud of you and how far you are coming in your 4k class. Just wanted to remember this time.....


*learning to write your name
*love puzzles and dinosaurs
*love your sister so much and will play barbies, babies, or school with her everytime she asks you
*want to read so bad right now like your sister
*put on a dinosaur costume and wore it in the 90 degree weather just to scare Hershey, our lab, so she would leave you alone while you played in the rocks in the backyard:)
*would rather play in the dirt or ride your bike than go to school anyday. 
*the most loving, affectionate child and give lots of hugs and kisses
*can say a blessing to God that will make grown men cry....truly a gift.
*say your sorry easily.....it is borderline manipulative....but you know how to get yourself out of trouble
*learned to swim this summer and how to do a cannonball....after being scared of the water going in your eyes. 
*wear a shoe size that is only 1 size smaller than your sister who is 2 years older.....
*love singing seeds music and can sing every word as loud as you can.....makes my soul happy....
