A Boy's Life

Jalen has been the star of our show lately. Earlier this week he participated in the second grade music program at his school. He was way into it, which was great to see since last year it was hard to get him to even lift up his head.

Baylie and some of her friends started the meeting with the pledge of allegiance. (Notice which hand Baylie is using. Whoops!)

In the audience.

Jalen was dancing even before he got to the stage. He was definitely putting on a performance.

Making sure I saw him. (As if I could miss him!)

Here are some videos of the program. The camera work is horrible, but Jalen is awesome.

Jalen also started playing football this year. I don't know who is more excited - him or me.

 He's pretty speedy and thinks he's the star of the team.

Jalen's coach is a family friend (his 2nd grade teacher's boyfriend) and we are so grateful. Some of the other coaches are ridiculously intense and we are grateful Jalen is playing for such a great coach.

Jalen is having a good year and we are proud of all the progress he has made.
