Jason Turns 3

Wow...it has been awhile since I have posted. This could indicate that our summer was eventful or that I was just too lazy to be online and enjoyed being outside more than inside on the computer. Whatever the reason, I figured it was time to get back in the mode.

Jason turned 3 years old two weeks ago. It was a bitter sweet experience for me. I am sad that Jason is 3 however, I love watching him grow, learn and change. He is such a sweet boy who brings me so much happiness.

Here are a few of Jason's favorite things.
Favorite color- Blue
When asked "What do you want to eat?" he often answers "Blue"
Favorite thing to do- Play in the yard with his dog Sadie or go swimming
Favorite food- pancakes
Favorite songs- Rock around the clock tonight, Ring of Fire, Jingle Bells, and anything by Sugarland (random songs I know)
Favorite character- Elmo
He is a great helper and loves to help his mom clean or cook
Jason loves people and is quite social
He loves his "blanky" and can't go anywhere without it
Jason loves to walk around the house with a purse over his shoulder and high heels on his feet. This absolutely kills his dad!!
He loves music and can snap his fingers better than most adults
Jason loves to read books and can remember almost word for word each book. If I miss a page or say a word wrong, he is sure to correct me.
Jason can count to 20 and he knows his colors and the alphabet

Funny things he has said:

When I walked in the door from coloring my hair (going from semi-blond to dark brown) he starred at my hair and asked, "What did you do to your hair?" I replied, "I colored it. Do you like it?" He replied very honestly, "No."

When my dad asked Jason if he was a big boy, Jason replied, "No. I am a boy. I am not a girl. I smell good though."

I bought a pair of shoes at DI and I was putting the shoes on one day and he said, "Mom are those your DI shoes?"

I was wearing a necklace and Jason asked, "Can I wear that?" I said, "Sure!" I took it off and gave it to him and he put it on and said, "Oh, mom look how gorgeous this necklace is!" It is apparent he hangs around his mom too much! I keep telling Kim that he will grow out of it...let's hope so!!

When his dad peaked through the window last week at nursery, his nursery leader was telling them about the Book of Mormon. She held a copy of the book up and Jason started to clap and yelled, "Yeah!!".

It is never a dull moment around this house with Jason. I am so grateful for him. He has so much love to give and is usually very considerate of others and their feelings. He often tells me that he loves me and when laying next to him for naps he asks, "Mom, do you have enough room?" He is such a sweet, sweet boy! I feel so blessed to raise such a special spirit. My life would not be complete without this little man in my life!
