Dear Jordan,
You have been five for almost two weeks now and it looks good on you!! We had a blast celebrating your birthday and let me tell you...you are a very loved little boy. We had to have TWO parties to celebrate you and even then we didn't get everyone who wanted to come. You love your friends and your friends love you! On top of just being with people, you were excited to get some great presents. The vast majority of your gifts are art supplies...it's perfect! You are actually creating something right now as I type this. I'm trying to monitor your glue use and so far you are doing well. You're making little faces and gluing the eyes on.
I love watching you create! Your brain just goes a million miles an hour and the things that you come up with are very impressive. I say this as a non-creative person. You also got some legos and are starting in on that new world of fun...so much creating to come!
You are such a blast to parent...sometimes it's hard, but we're getting the hang of this! I provide structure and you are mostly predictable. Sometimes you change something up to keep me on my toes, but we have many more peaceful days than we used to. You have grown to respond and obey more quickly...even though I still have to teach you had to stop yourself when you are doing something. You do it most of the time: 1. Freeze and become a statue. 2. Count to five. 3. Tell me what you are going to stop doing. 4. Stop doing it. It's things like this that you respond to and you remember how to do it and most of the time will actually do it!
I think one of the most amazing things about you is how well you love your friends. You are always thinking about them and wanting to draw them pictures. When I told you we were going to Bayne's house to take them a meal (they just had a baby!), you immediately went and made him a card. It blesses me to see your heart.
I'm proud of you! Keep learning and growing and you'll be able to do anything you want to!!
Love,
Mom
