The older you get, the more involved you become in planning your birthday party. For quite a while you claimed that you wanted to go to Great Wolf Lodge for your birthday. We waited and checked in with you every now and then to see if your plan would change. Eventually, we bit the bullet and booked a room for a one night stay. We made sure you knew that this was a family "party" and that friends couldn't join you this time. After that rolled around in your head for a while, you had a change of heart. We told you that it was too late to plan an elaborate bash but you were just fine with having a basic swim party with a small group of buddies. Because of crazy sports schedules and even crazier weather, your celebration was pushed back into May. It ended up being chill, low-key, and fun and I think that fits your personality to a t!
Jackson,
You changed our world in the best way possible 7 years ago! Life has been better since you arrived and we love being your parents! You have so many amazing qualities that you often indirectly remind us to be better people. You are compassionate, smart, humble, inquisitive, kind, playful, and energetic -- just to name a few. You are timid in new situations but adapt quickly. You are conservative with money but take risks during your sports. You have a wide variety of friends and your teacher reported to us that you're liked by every classmate. You don't play with toys but love to play outside. You also like playing video games -- especially soccer! I think you're a night owl like your dad although we still have you at a 7:45 bedtime. We're still learning about you and you're still teaching us how to be parents. Thank you for the lessons, laughs, and love.
