Jaron turned 8 on February 23rd. As I put in our family post this was hard one
for me. At this point he is accountable, all his mistakes are no longer on me and that really is a big step. I hope I did good enough with the years I had
to teach him. I realize I will still be
very influential but there is something about it being on his head that really
gets to me. Sorry for the post coming so many days after his birthday, but it
has been a rough few weeks at our house.
His birthday fell on a Sunday this year so the day before
was the big celebration. He chose to go
see the Lego movie. Max (my nephew) came with us so
we had the 5 boys. The movie was really
cute and all seemed entertained by it.
Then we went to McDonald's for an early dinner. They boys love playing there and had lots of
fun. The family fun days that they get
to choose where to eat and an activity are something that they look forward to,
along with designing their own cakes.
Jaron was really hands on with his cake this year and had a very
specific idea in mind. I love that I can
do this for them and let them feel special.We ate his cake on his birthday while celebrating Olive and Jared's (Don's niece and brother) birthdays as well.
Jaron is 4’3.5” and weighs 50lb. about. He is REALLY into sports. He loves to watch all types and if he has to
go to bed before a game is over he asks me to record it. He likes to play them and as of right now
wants to be a basketball player. Sports
is about 50% of what he talks to me about.
What he played at recess, what happened in a game . . . Besides sports
he likes to play the Wii, Legos, and play outside. He likes to sing and is really doing well at
the piano. His teacher is impressed with
how fast he catches onto things. In
school he is good at math. He is faster
at solving the problems than I am. He has a quick mind and is very rule
oriented (a little of both Dad and Mom). We sure love Jaron and I am so glad he
came to our family.
