Jackson Jeffery

Jackson is just the happiest boy in the world. He can be a "man of few words" like his dad, and reminds me of Jeff all the time! And when he does decide to tell us something, it is either very profound, or very funny! He is always cracking us up, and saying the most random things, like one day when he said, "When you get old your knees hurt, huh mom. That's what Mrs. Lott said." or one day when I can only assume that his foot fell asleep, he said, "my feets is buggin' me." So I asked him why and he said, "my bones is ticklin' me."

Jackson LOVES to do puzzles, and is so good at them. He also loves to play with playdoh, Batman and Robin guys, color pictures, and build trios. One day he brought me the coolest Robot he made from Trio pieces. I asked him if he made it like the picture said. He told me, "yup, I did it like the paper. The paper said, you can do it cuz your mom is... asleep. And because you are ...a ....cutie." He is so funny when he tells stories, he pauses in between words to think of the best way to explain something. He is so thoughtful.

Jackson is such a good brother! He has told me before that he is so lucky because he is a big brother and a little brother, and that he has one brother and one sister. He is so good with Lulu, so kind and soft to her, even when she is in his way or playing with his toys.

At 4 years old, Jackson is 38 pounds, and 40 inches tall. His doctor told me he is a little shorter than average and a little heavier than average. Information I already knew, especially in comparing him to Tyler who is the opposite- taller and lighter than average. It's so fun to see how similar the boys are and yet how different they are too.

Jackson is really enjoying preschool and has been learning how to write the letters in his name! He can spell and read his name and knows how to write it. He can identify most letters and the sound they make. He loves going to preschool and has made a lot of friends in his class.

We are so lucky to have Jackson in our family. He is so special, loving, kind, tender, funny, quiet, calm and silly. I love my little boy!!
