JT is growing up! I am ashamed at the fact that I haven't written down anything for such a long time. This little guy is such a joy to have around!
On Sunday JT officially joined the Primary as the youngest Sunbeam. He was such a big boy and sat on his chair most of the time. I am so happy that I get to be in there with him. He tried to hang out with me a couple of times, but I was so busy that I had to just keep helping him find his chair by his teacher. When he saw Olivia and Lily sitting in their seats, it helped. I can't believe he is already old enough to come to primary. I know he will surely miss Nursery as it was always one of the highlights to his week. His new teacher is Alaina Lloyd and there is only one other child in his class, Bella Jex.
Christmas for JT was such a magical time. He was so into Santa this year and not afraid of him anymore. If he was crying or upset all we had to do was distract him with talk of Santa or Rudolf and he was hooked. He had fun sitting on Santa's lap at the Christmas Dance in Burton and probably changed what he was going to tell Santa he wished for about 5 times. On Christmas morning he was so happy when he saw his new "Cars" table and chairs and loved unwrapping the long awaited Christmas presents from under the tree. I think he ate every piece of candy from his stocking before 6:30 am.
One of JT's favorite things to do is go visit his Grandpa's and Grandma's houses. Anytime we get to go visit either the Baldwin's or the Parker's is a great day for him!
He doesn't like to sit in his car seat at all, and tries to sneak a regular seat belt on like the big kids.
He was able to go to a High School run preschool for 3 weeks this past fall and he really liked it. In a few weeks he will attend the BYU Idaho Child Lab for 3 months and likes to boast that, "I am going to Preschool at College".
JT loves to say the prayer and will volunteer every time. He gets upset if someone else gets to do it! We are working with him on trying to not get so excited that his words are too mumbly. 🙂
The other day, JT was in the back seat of the van and we were waiting to pick Lexi up. As he sat there he decided to serenade me, he sang, "I'm sexy. I'm sexy and I know it." This is one of the songs that comes on the radio periodically and the older kids think is funny. I felt a little heartbroken as I realized that I may have possibly failed him! My oldest children were singing primary songs when they were his age…Such is life as the youngest child I suppose. For the record I think JT is pretty darn cute, and he sings the truth!
