Dear Jordan,
You have given me so much to be thankful for this year! Instead of dwelling on the losses we had this year, I decided to focus on the blessings I have...you and your Dad! I am one blessed Mama. You were such a joy throughout the entire holiday weekend. You make it easy to be thankful, especially when you give me that toothy grin!
You are really starting to say a lot of words. One of them is "thank you" which just makes my day, especially when you use it in the right context! You also are really enjoying wrestling and playing football with your Dad (which basically involves wrestling and diving on the football!). You are such a spunky little boy, and it is really hard for me to keep up with you sometimes! Yesterday, we let you walk beside your stroller down the street and you just thought that was the greatest. Until you fell and scraped your hands...then you were kind of over it!
On Thanksgiving Day, we got up early and went to Mimi's house. You love it there! You act like you own the place. We watched the parade and then went to your Great-grandmother's house for lunch. We stayed for a while, but you got tired and cranky, so you, me and Ying went back to Mimi's house where you took a great nap. Then that evening, we decorated Mimi's house. I'm surprised at how indifferent you are to the Christmas trees. You like them and look at them, but you're not trying to climb them!
On Friday and Saturday, we hung out with Aunt Abby and Aunt Katie. We ate another Thanksgiving meal and the highlight was getting to go ice skating. They had skates that fit you and you did great. You were freaked out most of the time, but kept trying to walk on the ice. Someone had to hold you up and you were happy to skate or sit with Mimi on the sideline and watch us all zoom by. It was fun for you to try to give us high fives when we skated by. At first, you wouldn't even let me put your skates on, but once you saw your Dad putting his on, you went for it. I was very proud of you! Not even two and already ice skating!
I feel like I'm forgetting so many funny things that you do. You are just such a joy and I am so looking forward to this Christmas season and watching you experience so many new things. You are just big enough to enjoy things, but still a little small to understand. My goal for this year is to work on our Jessie Tree and ornaments so we can start teaching you about the true meaning of Christmas. Santa Claus is a fun story, but I am so excited for you to hear the real "Good news of great joy" which is Jesus!
I love you,
Mom
