Jonas has really changed over the last six months!
He is now six years old! I can't believe that. I can remember his
birth like it was yesterday, although I know it's been six years because
of all of the fun we've had together.
Jonas wakes up in a happy mood most days. He comes into our bedroom and sings
"The Good Morning Song" which is a song I made up and have
sang to him since he was a baby. He does everything he can to make us laugh
and loves when he can tell jokes to make people laugh!
(I need to find a joke book for him!)
Jonas is loving, kind, loves God, loves his family and friends, is full of energy,
ALL BOY! (and did I say full of energy?)
Jonas loves to pretend he's a lion and ROAR as loud as he can.
He also loves to sit quietly and read books or watch a movie.
Jonas has a great memory! He memorized "The Going to Bed Book"
a couple years ago- after I had read it to him for a long time and now recites it back.
He now turns it into a silly story by changing certain parts of the story.
He also sits next to me and tells the story to his baby sister. (I'm 7 1/2 months pregnant)
Jonas loves to swim, run, jump, skip, jump on his Pogo-stick, ride his bike, play with
the neighbors dog and puppy, play with his friends, loves to read and write, draw pictures,
color with markers, paint, and just plain loves to have fun in every way possible.
Jonas had a little party at the park with a couple close friends this year. He had a wonderful time with them!
His birthday was this past weekend and we had Grandpa Fred, Grandma Judy,
Uncle Josh, Auntie Kim, his cousin Olivia and Mark and I there to celebrate. As we
were sitting eating our taco dinner he told Kim and Josh that he
was so happy that they came to his party
and THEY were HIS BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT!
I really love how he can speak his heart fully when he wants to!
I can really see the love of Jesus coming through our sweet little boy.
I'm looking forward to seeing how he grows and changes over the year ahead.
I know, for a fact, that he is going to be a WONDERFUL big brother.
Oh, and he's growing like a weed! (if I can repeat what my parents used to say to me!)
We sure are happy to have been blessed with such a sweet little boy.
