Nine reasons I love my Justin
9. He is a talker just like me. He can go on and on about things he loves. Even if he doesn't love a subject, he can keep up a steady conversation about it!
8. He works hard to get things right. Let me tell you that he might complain the ENTIRE time, but he eventually figures everything out. Talk about persistence!
7. He LOVES sports. It has been really fun lately because he is understanding the rules to sports. We are a family that loves baseball. We were very interested in the baseball playoffs and then the World Series (better luck next year, Rockies). He was our little commentator the whole time. Almost as much as Ethan!
6. He is becoming a great reader and in turn, a great student. Sure, he still hates homework, but he is always complimented by his teachers for his hard work and understanding of subjects. I love that he is enjoying reading more because it is one of my favorite things to do as well.
5. He is a very caring boy. He might fight with his siblings frequently, but he is always the first to stick up for them.
4. He gives amazing back rubs/scratches. While I was pregnant he would always stop to rub and scratch my back. Even if it was for a few seconds, he was always willing and I never had to ask for it first!
3. He can laugh! This kid can get himself into hysterics with not much effort! Most of the time he gets us into laughing fits as well.
2. He is innocent and trusting. I love this because the world is still rose colored for him. He does question a lot of things, but he always expects the best from every situation. He gets frustrated when things go sour because he doesn't feel anything should go wrong in life.
1. He is mine to enjoy here on Earth. We are a lot alike so we rub each other wrong sometimes, but once he gets what I am saying, it sticks forever. I love that I am worthy enough to see this boy grow into a man. I love that we get eternity to try to figure each other out!
These are a few of the reasons it's impossible not to love this kid!!
Happy birthday, Justin - you know we love you!!
