Dear Jason (favorite nicknames this year: JJ, JB, Jabes, Jabers,
Jace, and J-Man)
You hug hard, hug often, and hug many. The pandemic has been
hard for you as you often just want to hug those you love. But otherwise you
have been happy to be home more often, and play in the puddles when it rains.
You love to play. Your favorite activities are running, making
people laugh, wrestling, reading, breaking sticks, throwing things, looking at
bugs, spotting airplanes and trains, swimming, and making rocket ships out of Magna-Tiles.
Your ability to speak more clearly has taken off and your teachers
have loved you well. We are excited for another year of preschool for you.
You love repetition as you ask to watch the same scene of
the underminer from the movie “The Incredibles 2” multiple times a day. When we
say not now, you will make an underminer out of a water bottle or other objects
within reach, and replay the scene on your own.
I think this past year your mother and I have read the story
of David and Goliath about 365 times, both from the Veggie Tales Bible and
other versions as well. You just can’t get enough. We pray that your love for action,
justice, and a good story will only grow as you learn more about the Bible.
We have been thrilled to have you reconnect with your Mama
Maria, and your two half-siblings this year. We hope those relationships will continue and
grow.
Your tender heart is quick to tell us when you think nature
or a person is beautiful, and you have grown so much this year that you are
doing your best to outrun or at least chase after Sophia with wild abandon when
we encounter an open field, especially at the Adams Garden.
We are very grateful you are part of our family, and hope
that this next year you continue to learn how much you are loved by many around
you and by God your creator.
Love,
Dada
