Jayson is 2 years old!

In December our little buddy Jayson turned 2! I had to give a final in the morning but we spent the afternoon and evening celebrating. I had taken Jayson shopping a couple of weeks before his birthday and he fell in love with a car that plays music and dances. He had quite the grip on the car and would not let go. I hid the car after I got the boys loaded up so he would forget about it. Jayson was very excited when he opened it on his birthday.
Jayson likes to watch ball games so that evening we went to the UVU basketball game. We were so happy that Mimi and Papa, Sean and Amberlea, and Kenz were able to join us for the game. We ate some hot dogs while we watched the UVU green men performed at half time. A few days later we had another little party at Mimi and Papa's house. Jayson wanted a train cake and that's what he got. Happy Birthday Jayson!

Dear Jayson,

I love you so much. You are and have always been such a good boy. You have the biggest smile and those dimples just make me smile. You love hanging out with the boys, especially with your Papa and Papa Great Sorensen! You're not a big talker quite yet. Brooklyn says you're a ventriloquist because you often talk with your mouth closed. Some of the words/phrases you do say are:

Where's Papa?
Where'd it go?
Here it is.
All gone
No, no, no (while shaking finger).
knock knock (while pretending to knock).
night night (with a big kiss for Mom).
apple core (mumbled)
teeth teeth (to brush teeth)
Let go.
Hi Dad.

Jayson, you are a very expressive boy. When you get mad you fold your arms and growl. If you are really angry you roll your eyes up and tap your fingers while your arms are folded. I have to try not to laugh when you do this because I think it's funny and entertaining.

You are all boy. You love to wear a hat just like your Dad. First thing in the morning until you lay your head on a pillow you like to have a hat on your head. You make lots of grunting and growling noises. You love balls, trucks, animals, books (Bubbles Bubbles is your favorite), dirt, and playing outside. You love to climb on everything. We've had to tip the chairs over onto their sides so you don't climb onto the kitchen table to dance. Now you've figured out how to tip them back up and push them around to climb up to whatever you want. You keep Mom busy.

Jayson you love to play with Brooklyn and Cayden. You are a very good helper with putting dishes in the sink, throwing away garbage, and finding toys to entertain Cayden. You also entertain us with knock knock jokes quite often. Your favorite songs are "Pop Corn Popping on the Apricot Tree", "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", and "Hey Soul Sister" by Train. You are so much fun to be around. I am so grateful you are in our family and I hope this is a very healthy happy year for you.

Love,
Mom
