We decorated with animal tracks and animal pictures Jessica and you had colored.
'Wild Kratts' is a cartoon you enjoy about wild animals.
You helped me decorate your cake with animals.
It was a fun night. And, this year -for the first time- we decided to seperate your family and friends gatherings into two different parties. So, you are very excited about your "friends party" which is scheduled to be held on Jan 7th at a local bowling alley.
Happy Birthday Jackson!
You are a big 6-year-old now! Each day you surprise Mom and Dad with how much you are learning. We love that you are so inquisitive and eager to know how and why things work like they do. Your kindergarten teacher, Shirley Galstad-Roh, says you are a quiet and good student in school. Brennan, Gannon, and Lucas are among your circle of friends you talk about in your class and also your team mates for soccer out on the playground (unusual to enjoy a game of soccer this time of year without any snow on the ground).
One of the things your Dad and I enjoy most about you is your sense of humor. You love to laugh and act silly; we get a kick out of watching you dance around the house singing songs. Your level of high energy is refreshing and fun. Mom and Dad fully embraced your love for activity this year and bought a few inflateable bopper swords and punching bag with inflateable gloves. You also enjoy playing spies, army guys, and with your new batman cave.
On the flip-side, Jackson, you do enjoy some quiet activities too such as, arts & crafts. We hear a lot about your art teacher at school, Mr Shroeder, and how much you like his class. Teaching Mom, Dad, and Jess new craft ideas you learn from school is something you get very excited about.
Watching T.V. has its place in our home on a minimal, but much needed, basis. We find it helpful for you to calm down at the end of a day before we sit and read books prior to bedtime. The show you choose right now to end your day is the Imagination Movers, although you still enjoy a Power Ranger show from time to time as well.
For your birthday, you were able to pick out a book to be donated to your school's LMC; the book you chose was, 'Siberian Tiger, The World's Biggest Cat' by, Meish Goldish. You are learning to read and can recognize simple words when we are out and about.
Having a Type A personality is not always easy (according to your father), but you already demonstrate the ability to re-focus your controlling and competitive side into a more positive leadership role with your sisters and your neighbor friends.
We are so proud of you, Jackson!
Love, Mom & Dad
