My Little Man


Yesterday was so crazy that today I wanted to take a minute to reflect on our "little" Jalen and the blessing he is to us. He is such a fun kid. He is full of sass and life and goes 100 miles an hour. He does everything with gusto, whether it's singing, laughing, throwing a tantrum, dancing or eating - he does it with all of his emotions. He is so cuddly and affectionate. He loves to give and receive hugs. He adores his sister and does everything she does. He's her little shadow. He keeps us laughing all the time.

Jalen's funny because at home he's the life of the party, but in public it's hard to get him to crack a smile. Many people think he's somber or anti-social. Even David and I can't get him to smile if he doesn't want to. At home he is singing all the time, but when we go to our weekly music class, he won't sing at all.

I love this little boy with all my heart. He is the son I always wanted. He brings me more joy than I ever thought possible. He is such a blessing and I'm so grateful to have shared these two years of his life with him.
