Dear Jackson,
Your 2nd cousin Nevaeh (same age as you, 6yrs.) came home with me from school to spend the night and the next day with us. We picked Logan up at daycare and headed to the elementary to pick you up from Daddy's JO practice. When you realized that Nevaeh was with me, you got embarrassed and sprinted from us yelling "To the kitchen!" Whatever that means??!! I do know, however, that it was something you said to flirt a bit. Back and forth you ran all the time yelling out strange things. I hope that one day it really sinks in that you CAN'T marry your cousin.
Love,
Mom

Whiskers
Dear Logan,
A few nights ago I sat by you saying prayers and tucking you in to sleep for the night. You lay there in bed gently pulling on your eyelashes. Suddenly you remarked, "Oh, I pulled out my whisker!" That gave me a pretty good laugh. It's always fun to watch your face and hear you laugh when other people are laughing. Cute little girl you are.
Love,
Mom

Jackson's Sucker Adventure
Jackson,
A couple weeks ago, you had to go to School Age Care after Kindergarten. During this time, you found out that your buddy Billy had a sucker for you that he left in your dad's classroom upstairs (he didn't want to give it to you at SAC because he knew he didn't have enough for the other kids--thoughtful, huh!). So, you left the SAC room, went upstairs to your dad's room and discovered his door was locked. No problem. You tracked down your "good friend, Bob" the custodian and asked "Will you open my dad's door?". Bob was very obliged to help out. After you helped yourself to the sucker you so clearly could not do without, you popped it into your mouth and returned downstairs. When the supervisor for SAC asked about the sucker, you nonchalantly and innocently told Kathy all about your adventure and to quote "my good friend, Bob".
You are a gutsy, wily, and adorable boy.

Day out with Grandma
Logan,
You spent the day with Grandma as Elaine had taken the day off. I took you to my school for a short while until Grandma was able to pick you up. When she brought you back around 2:30 that afternoon, it was clear that Grandma was totally incapable of saying "no" to you. She had bought you a "Hannah Montana" shirt (which wasn't really but you called it that), Polly Pockets to be kept at her house, 2 special pillows (one for our house and one for Grandma's--you told her that they were so "cozy"), a Hannah Montana ball, and a donut from Festival. It was a great day for you. Grandma loved it as well...but might have needed a nap when she got home.

Wake, My Sweet
Logan,
Two Saturdays ago, Jackson woke up before you, as usual, around 7:00. We came downstairs, read Pinocchio (a 25 min. book), and then turned on cartoons to watch for a while. Because you and Daddy were still sleeping, I snuggled up by Jackson on the couch and snoozed briefly while he watched Ninja Turtles or something like that. I was suddenly awaken by a butterfly kiss on my lips. Standing before me was you. Happy as a lark to be awake and so sweet in how you woke me. It really warmed my heart. I must have been out since you truly surprised me. Most mornings aren't so sweet...you are definitely not a morning person and want nothing to do with anyone until you've decided that you're ready. It's funny now to be thinking of it, but it's rather trying most mornings. You have a strong personality, but that's only part of why I love you so much.

Jackson's 6th Birthday
Jackson,
On your 6th birthday (or the Saturday following), you had your first party with invited friends. Tristan and Sienna Augedahl, Reese and Riley Diersen, and Kaden Peterson all came to the AmericInn to swim and celebrate with you. Your grandma, grandpa, aunt Marcie, sister, dad, and I were there as well (Josh had to work but called to wish you Happy Birthday and Minna had just gotten home from New Orleans). You were quite the water bug going from life jacket to no life jacket. You enjoyed floating on your back with the life jacket on. After swimming for 2 hours, we had pizza, opened presents, and ate cake. You picked the cake you wanted, so I made you a home-made, 3D, buttercream, fondant Clone Trooper. It was a lot of fun making it and you were soooo sweet when you saw it the first time.
Grandma and Grandpa gave you a beta fish in a fishbowl for your birthday. You gave it three names and finally settled on SharkTooth. From us, you got a new football since you've become quite the little football catcher. Your hand-eye coordination has improved tons since your dad has been working on catching with you. No broken lamps yet, but lots of fun. Grandpa B and Grandma Jan sent you a Star Wars guy. They are always so kind and never forget a special day.

Jackson's Changing
Jackson,
You've been showing a lot more "attitude" lately. What I mean is that you've started demonstrating more older-kid behaviors like being easily frustrated and giving us the "duh-mom/dad" look. At first I was a little worried about where and why this attitude came about, but the more I thought about the first graders I teach (which is only a year younger than you), you fit their personality profile (for a boy) to a "T". You still say "I love you, Momma" and hug me all the time, though. You sure are a momma's boy and I love that.
Oh yeah, last night we went without a Goodnite and you got a kick out of me telling you about waking you up to use the bathroom. You were definitely sleeping the whole time from your bed to the bathroom and back. You giggled to know you were "sleep walking" and couldn't wait for tonight again. Hopefully with a week or two of me waking you up to use the bathroom, you'll be able to kick the Goodnites.
Love you buddy,
your mom

Workout Girl
Logan, you have started to work out with Scott and I when we do the P90X. Suprisingly, you have darn good form for a 3 1/2 year old. You've always been extremely coordinated. It was cute watching you do the warm up and shoulder presses wearing the outfit you picked out for yourself this morning. A pink long sleeve shirt, pink glittery leggings with striped shorts over the top, and striped socks to match. Very cute.
