Jackson

The Jackson posts continue!  Here's his progression to being a 6 year old...
 I remember this day so well...we were so excited to meet our little guy!
 Birthday #1
 Birthday #2
 Birthday #3
 Birthday #4
 Birthday #5, I see so much growth between 4 and 5.  He looks so much more grown up here.
Birthday #6

Jackson is such a joy.  He truly is a really great kid!  He takes kindergarten very seriously, constantly telling me "it's a lot of work".  He loves riding the bus.  He does great with getting his homework done because he really does love learning.  I've already gotten praise from his teacher.  He really hates getting punished, it is devastating for him.  He strives to keep his "pom poms" at school because then he gets to pick something from the prize box and he takes great pride in that.  He enjoys helping his Dad fix up the house, but doesn't always like the cleaning up part.  He'll usually try to delegate certain tasks to his brother (we think maybe he'll be a manager some day).  He does NOT like toads, salamanders, etc and definitely does NOT want to touch them.  

It's been very interesting watching Jackson grow into his own personality.  I see certain things that are just like his dad and I see certain things that are just like me.  He is really a pretty good blend of both of us.
