Sweet Little Boy


My little Jared was not the pretty perfect baby that Katie was. He had a sweet face but was red and blotchy with milia (baby acne) He was also colicky and cried and complained non stop for 6 weeks. He thankfully took the pacifier and liked the swing. However at 7 years old he still has not stopped complaining. It is his favorite pasttime. Of course it could have to do with his sister getting the better of him most of the time. Jared is also a smart one. He just graduated from the 1st grade and is reading at a 4th grade level. Even more important than that he is a very thoughtful little boy. He often puts other people ahead of himself. One day he and Katie were argueing about who got the playstation first when we got home. Suddenly Jared said its ok Katie you can have it because you have to go to piano. I'll play while you are at piano. Very mature for a 7 year old I thought. And he is so sweet. He tells Katie he loves her all the time. If I start to take him to the store he will stop to be sure and invite Katie. Once we were in the car and had stopped at the stop sign and he told me we better turn around and go back and get Katie. He will come in a room looking for me and just walk up look at me and say I love you. If anybody ever tries to tell you girls are sweeter than boys don't beleive them. My boy is the sweetest.
