Happy Birthday Jadon

Today is Jadon's 5th birthday. My little man is growing up. He was disappointed when he woke up because he thought that he would be bigger. He kept saying all day "am I 5 yet?". Finally, after being convinced that he was 5 and no longer 4, he started to cry because he was the same size. Today's birthday had its ups and downs. First of all Bailey and Annalee were sick so that meant that his big birthday party with all the cousins was off. Second, he didn't grow 5 inches overnight. But we partied anyhow. He wanted a Prince Caspian birthday cake. We got him a Spiderman bike and some $2 army men. Guess what the favorite gift was. Oh yeah, the army men were a big hit. Since he was 3 he has been waiting to turn 5 so that he could spend the night with Carly. Tonight he remembered that promise and is anxiously waiting for a chance.

Jadon is a mama's boy. He loves to be loved on. I think that he will be the type that even when he is 20 will come crawl in my lap for some lovin'. Of course that is just fine with me. Jadon enjoys being outside, jumping on the trampoline, action figures, monster trucks, and singing. He is athletic. Although, it may just be that after all these girls, Eric and I just have tons of hope, but he seems to have potential. He has been dribbling a basketball since he was 2. He can throw a great spiral and has been swimming since birth.

Jadon is a special little boy. There is something extraordinary about your firstborn son.

Happy Birthday Man
I love you
