Jaron turns 5!

Our cute, sweet Jaron turned 5!



Jaron had a great birthday.  His birthday fell on a Sunday this year so we had a family breakfast and presents in the morning, went to church and then went over to my parents for a family birthday party.



The next day we had his friend birthday party.  We rented a bounce house and invited his cute friends over for a bounce/water party.  It was fun and a pretty easy party to hang out in the back yard while the kids ran around playing and eating treats.



Jaron still loves to keep up with his sisters.  He never likes to be left out and is still mad that he doesn't have anyone to share a room with.  He loves all sports and will often just go outside and play soccer by himself.  He got a new bike for his birthday and he loves to ride around and is always asking to go on a bike ride.  He's recently started liking Power Rangers but most of the time just watches what his sisters like to watch.  Jaron is usually very happy but certainly has learned how to whine/complain/beg when he doesn't get his way...we are working on those emotions and the right way to deal with them.  We've worked really hard this summer on his speech and he finally has his S sound correctly, which is exciting but a little sad.  Now he says Siena instead of Dena or Stena.  He still has a ways to go but is definitely improving and working hard at it.  He still will talk to just about anyone and people are always commenting about how cute and nice he is.

My favorite thing about Jaron is he will still snuggle with me whenever I want.  He loves to snuggle on the couch, sit on my lap and gives the sweetest hugs.  His favorite thing to do when I help him get dressed is to 'fall into a hug'.  This is where as the shirt comes over his head he falls down into my arms for a hug.  He insists on doing this every morning and night and tells me he will still do this even when he's a teenager.  I'm holding him to that.

We love you Jaron and can't wait to see the great things you do this year.
