August 4, 2013 Letter to Jackson

Dear Jackson-
A few more months and you will be 5 years old! You are having a great summer full of activities and trips (and emotions). We visited your cousins during the 4th of July holiday and had a wonderful trip out there, full of adventure, swimming and visiting. Now we are up in NH for a whole two weeks worth of vacation! Week one flew by and now we are into our second week here at the lake and it is wonderful.

You and your brother (as you like to call Shane) are having a wonderful time up here. We have done lots of swimming at the lake and you my friend, are a little fish in the water! You just finished Penguin swimming lessons at the Boys and Girls Club and you are doing great in the water. You put your gogles on and off you go exploring under water. You and Shane like to play "Shark" and you get people and things. Daddy bought your boogey boards so you are loving that - paddling and jumping off the board. Nana and snowball also came on vacation with us so it is a full family affair up here in NH.

This month Jackson while you have been enjoying life to the fullest, you have also been a bit more emotional than usual. Maybe you are going through a growth spurt? You are a bit more emotional than usual with a fair amount of crying when you don't get your way and you have been very tired. You play hard all day and then boom you crash! In fact while we have been on vacation you have "fallen down" in fatigue on the front lawn yelling- I can't walk, I'm too tired! a little dramatic.....Some of that drama has played out down at the lake as well when you didn't want to carry your boogy board, Shane carried his happy as a clam but you put up a BIG Screaming display all the way back to the car.

Aside from your emotional outbursts here and there you are enjoying life up here at the lake. We have visited friends- Aunt Edna, Aunt Margaret and Uncle Allen, gone on boat rides, swimming, riding scooters when ever you want! and lots of  adventures- Clarke's Trading Post, Santa's Village, Story Land the list goes on and on.

I love you Jackson Reid. You are mommy's sun, moon and stars. Happy Auguust- stay smiling.
Love,
Mommy
