Week of Birthday Bliss

Jackson turned 4 on October 26th. I know to many of my readers, that sentence is nothing more than information. But to me-- that sentence falls like a hammer. We just breathed our way thru 4 years and he is entering a scope of life with friends and social functions and hand-eye-coordination. I love knowing this boy. For those of you who don't, nutshelling a description of his personality will do no justice. But proud moms always attempt anyway:

Jackson needs daily doses of tickle-juice in order to survive. His expressions are worth wrapping up. Excitement that sings soprano, and giggles like the sprinkles on your favorite cupcake. He's a chef, an engineer, and a bed-hopper. He makes friends better than wallstreet makes money. He begins every morning with a happy hello, asking if I slept well. He protects Ryland and pummels Emerson- but loves them both. He's a champion and a broad avenue of joy in my life.
