Dear Jordan,
We are in the dog days of summer! It's been pretty mild up until a couple of weeks ago, but now it has heated up quite a bit. I'm also really, really pregnant, so it feels even worse! But, it's easier to deal with the hot weather when you know a change is coming. And our neighborhood has changed quite a bit in the past couple of weeks! OU started this week, which means all of the students moved in last week. It's been fun to watch them come in and take over the town again. One of our favorite things that happens is the marching band starts practicing and we can hear them from our house! Some day, your Daddy will walk you over there to watch them play. You will enjoy that!
One big thing that has happened is you got a fish! You call it your "pishy". We got him a couple of weeks ago. Actually, we got a goldfish and he died after about two hours. We didn't realize that you had to give him special water. Since you kept asking about the fish, I went back and got you a beta fish. It's a pretty blue one and we named him Stanley. You like to climb up the step ladder (you ask me to "opy lars") and tap on the glass. And you like to help change the water, but you don't like feeding him for some reason. It is pretty funny though, because after we put the food in, you start yelling "Pishy! Eat your food!".
Your sense of humor is fantastic. You are always coming up with stuff that makes us laugh. Last night, we were sitting on the back porch with some friends and you asked about the stars. It was still too light to see stars, but you still just laid down, crossed your arms behind your head and pretended to look at them. I don't know where you get this stuff, but we love it!
One thing that we have been trying to work with you on is the fact that you are a bit of a bully! :) You got left behind when the Sunday school class moved up, so now you are the oldest and the biggest kid. No one stands up to you, and you've gotten in the habit of just doing whatever you want. And the other issue is that you are a rough-houser. Now, that part I don't mind. I love watching you and your Daddy play together. The problem is that when we take you to play in public, you forget that there are other kids who don't like to play rough. I don't mind you messing with boys, but I'm really trying to work with you on how you treat little girls. You don't mean anything by it, it's just something that you will learn over time. I don't ever want you to stop being the great and wild little boy you are!
Today is a Saturday and we have had nothing to do. We tried to keep it that way because since we are so close to Marcus' arrival, this will probably be our last weekend as a family of three. Your Pappa and Grammy are coming tomorrow and will be with us for a while, so more than likely Marcus will get here before they leave. So, we are trying to make the most of it. We went to Gourmet donut (where you licked the chocolate icing off your donut but left the sprinkles!) and then to the park. We didn't stay long since it is so hot, but you've spent some good time playing with your dad while I tried to get stuff done around the house!
Well, little man, we love you so much. I am excited to see how you will be as a big brother! I think once the shock wears off, you will love it!
I love you, Buddy.
