What mom can resist blogging about a newly-turned-another-year-old kid? I can't! We just celebrated Jonathan's birthday......My baby turned 4! How is that possible?!
Jonathan is a clown who turns heads and hearts. He is about the size of a two year old, so he turns heads when he starts talking like a 10 year old. :) At his birthday party, he could be found playing with a 12-year-old friend. When this friend said they had to go and asked Jonathan if he wanted to help him put his shoes on, Jonathan replied, "No. I have my own problems!" Makes me laugh just remembering it! What a hoot he is! (And that's just the beginning.)
My favorite thing he does is when he makes a clicking sound with his mouth while winking and pointing his finger and thumb like a gun at me. It is the funniest thing ever!! He can make me laugh one minute and groan in frustration the next.....usually because he is laughing one minute and throwing a fit the next. I have never seen a better pouter. If it's not convenient to sit or lay down to pout fully, he has been known to walk in a circle with slumped shoulders over and over and.... Even then he is funny. In fact, one day he said to me, "You can call me Mr. Funny!" Yes, yes, I can!!
One of his favorite gifts for his birthday was a guitar. He loves to "have a concert" during which he makes up songs in a hard rocker voice. Even though he sounds angry at the world, the words of his most-sung original song are "God is good. It's good to be good!"
And in his sweetest moments, he rubs his cheek against mine and says, "I just love you, Mommy!"
"I just love you, too, pal!"
