Dear Jordan,
Whew! If we didn't realize you were stubborn before, we certainly are aware of it now!! Boy howdy, you are something. You are so smart, so we know it's not that. It's all will-power. This week is potty training week. I was supposed to have surgery, but that fell through, so we decided to potty train you. Your dad did, anyways. And if there is anyone more stubborn than you, it's him! I would have quit after one day, but we're on day 5 and we are oh, so close! Just before nap time, we saw you recognize that you needed to go and you had almost decided to tell us before it was too late.
On top of the stubborn is the perfect amount of sweetness. A few days ago, I hurt my back more than it was already hurting. That led to a few days of me laying around while your dad had to pick up my slack, which he has done extremely well! The other day, I was struggling with frustration and discouragement. You climbed up in my lap and said "Mama, are you sad?" I said "Yes, buddy. My back hurts." Since then, you will come up to me and say "Mama does your back hurt?" Then you love on me. I can't get enough of your sweetness!
You are also your brother's favorite. Marcus loves to watch you play. If you're in the room, he's watching. You haven't quite figured this out, but if you come over to him and say something in a funny voice, he just loves it! You are the closest to getting him to laugh so far. All you have to say is "Boo!" I think once you figure that out, you'll have him giggling all of the time.
This afternoon you wanted to hold him. Your dad put him in your lap and let you hold his bottle. You thought that was great!
It's a new year, little man. It's a great time to take stock of life and see where you need to improve. It's also a time to be thankful, and boy am I thankful for you. You bring so much humor and life to our home. God did a good work when he blessed us with you!!
I love you,
Mom
