Happy 4th Jayce- Bye Bye Jon Jons

Happy 4th Birthday Jayce! I cannot believe you are officially a "Big Boy!" I know, many of you say, he's only 4... but to me a big boy means no more jon jons... sadness! I promised Jay that on his 4th birthday, I would stop dressing him in any jon jons... I had really been saving them only for church as of late, but this is IT... It really hit me hard as I switched out his closet and went from a closet full of them to polos and khaki pants... The one thing that kept me from balling was that I got to move them right on over to Gabe's closet! We are still allowed to do overalls though, as far as I'm concerned!

We are so proud of you Jayce and how much you have grown in the last 4 years in every way possible! You are a sweet child who loves Jesus, mommy and daddy, and your "bubby Gabe" very much! There is something about you Jayce that is so darn lovable! Your Sunday and School teachers both have told us that you are a "teachers dream" and that you "have their heart," and "that smile just makes me melt!" Not only have you turned into such a sweet boy (MOST OF THE TIME)...But you are so very smart, as you recently reminded mimi and papa. You remember details so well and can tell about any Bible story you've heard! You learn you Bible verses so well and are sure to repeat them back to me when it serves you best such as the time you said, "Mommy, I think we need to share a chocolate chip cookie now and be ye kind one to another."

The thing I love most about you right now is your sense of awareness that with any problem we face, we can bring it to God. Whether it's Gabe's boo boo, mommy's tummy hurting, you and I having a tiff, Gabe's screaming in the car, you will almost always stop and say, "Dear God, can you help us..............and you always close with Dear God, Amen. It is the sweetest thing! May you always remember to talk to Him about it all! I love you so much sweet boy, Happy 4th! Mama
