Jaden Day

Grammy and Papa planned "Jaden Day" just a couple days after Cody's special day. Jaden's excitement for this day had been building for quite a while, so he was thrilled when his day finally arrived. Here is Jaden's explanation of his day:

We're taking a picture by the garage.

I was playing Go Fish with Grammy.

I was putting my books out. I got 4, and Grammy got 3, and Papa got 3.

I was getting my snack ingredients out.

I was putting in chocolate chips. I also put in Sour Patch Kids.

This is my ingredients and my snack. It tasted really good.

I was thinking about what I wanted to do with sand.

Papa was making some of the castle and I was watching.

This is our castle. I was the one who made the inside, I think.

We went swimming.

I was doing the back float. I had my feet tucked in... see, straight? I think I did that for 123 seconds.

(side note from Mommy: Jaden isn't exaggerating here. Grammy and Papa said that Jaden truly did float that long!)

I was sliding down the slide at the splash pad.

I was cuddling in the chair.

I went into the other pool and dived down with the rings at the bottom.

I was watching Veggie Tales.

I had peanut butter and jelly for lunch.

I was making my sand cross. It was fun.

It looked good.

I played 20 Questions with Papa. This is a picture that Grammy took.

I was doing the 100 piece puzzle. It was hard.

The puzzle was the same length as me.

I am doing cars upstairs.

I was reading some books with Grammy.

I was going into the driveway, sticking my head out of the window.

I thought Jaden Day was good. I liked that we could go to the pool.

What a treat it was for our boys to be pampered like this with individual time and attention! Thanks again, Grammy and Papa, for your creativity, time, and love for our boys!
