Jordan's Twelfth

The day Jordan was born I was in complete awe of that little person, and feeling somewhat overwhelmed at the responsibility of being his mother. Today I have those same feelings, only now I know him better.


Twelve things I love and admire about Jordan:

1. He's very social

2. He's a good conversationalist

3. He loves music (and has good taste)

4. His friend's parents, and our neighbors, often tell me how polite and considerate he is

5. He's a good speller

6. He's good at sports and loves basketball in particular

7. He's friendly to everyone

8. He's protective of his little sister

9. He loves crab legs and horseradish sauce (not together)

10. He's a fun person to be around

11. He really values his relationships with his extended family

12. He truly has a kind heart

We're so lucky to have Jordan in our family!

Your Jordan sounds like such a sweet boy! I hope his birthday was great. I can't believe you are even old enough to have a 12 year old, you look so young!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JORDAN, from your favorite Aunt.:) Ok, you forgot how Jordan can sweet talk anyone; try taking him to the store and saying no to that cute smile!!! He truly is a great kid, but he has great parents, so it's not surprising at all.

Wow, you're the mother of a 12 year old, when did that happen? I'm wigging out that Landon turns 10 this year.

I love it that you said you have those same feelings, only now you know him better. It's kind of amazing isn't it?
