Dear Jordan,
When we're busy, time flies...and you like to stay busy!! Every time you go to bed (nap & night) and just about every hour you ask, "Mom, where are we going next?" And you don't just want to know the next thing, but the next three things! The bad thing is you hold me to it, so I have to be careful on what I tell you we are going to do! The funniest thing you do right now is when I say that we're going to do something tomorrow, you adamantly argue "Not a-morrow! Today". For a while, I argued with you, but it's easier just to avoid it or to tell you that after your next sleep, we will do something. I love that you still have some words that you mis-pronounce, because you are really getting to be such a good talker!
It is full-on fall now! The weather is cooler and the leaves are starting to change. Today you are a little sick so you and I stayed home from church. You felt pretty good this morning, so we went on a little walk and found some pretty leaves. Then you painted a picture with them. You are really enjoying this season. Every time we go for a walk, you point out every pumpkin and scarecrow. And now we have two pumpkins and a scarecrow on our porch and you love it!
Last Sunday, you and I went on an adventure to the Dinosaur Museum (the natural history museum). It was so fun to go and just hang out together. You wanted to touch and see everything. At one point, we were in a little cave and we heard a growling sound. I was afraid you would be scared so I playfully said, "Uh-oh, it's a dinosaur!". You said, "It's okay, Mom. It's just a dinosaur's tummy growling." After the museum, we got ice cream.
I was struck while we were at the museum with something. We've been working on your Bible verses for Cubbies and last week was Genesis 1:1. We had been practicing it all week. At the museum, they go to great lengths to try to teach evolution. I'm thankful you can't read because it protects you from getting confused. But I didn't really think about it until we were playing at this puppet theater and I encouraged you to say your voice. At the top of your lungs, you said, "God created the heavens and the earth!" At such a young age, you are learning and believing Truth and I am so thankful that you can be a light!
I love you, buddy!
Mom
