Dearest Jason,
As you embark on your tenth year of life, we have loved to see you continue to grow this past year. You are often filled with the sweetness of your spirit and the boundless enthusiasm for the world around you.
Your love for games grew this year to include Monopoly, Clue, Scattergories, Guess Who, and card games. I enjoyed many evening rounds of the “Ladybug” game before bed, and I am sure your birthday gift of Trash Pandas will be the new favorite. We often find you reading a graphic novel on the couch in your underwear. You want to bring your soccer ball with you on most walks these days. And you've been checking books out at the library on Lego building.
You remain a man in charge as you still aspire to be a police officer one day, and sometimes that comes out in ways today as trying to parent, but also keep your siblings safe. One of your questions to adults this year was if they owned a pair of handcuffs or not.
We pray you will be a man after justice and fairness, as you pursue the higher goal of wisdom in each interaction you have with people inside and out of our home.
You got your first passport this year, and very much enjoyed our trip to Paris. You walked 43,000 steps or 17 miles one day, as you often circled your parents while we walked in a straight line.
You have one of the best subtle smiles that can warm anyone’s heart when it emerges, and we pray you will continue to be a joy giver this year.
Our goals for you this year are to grow into a protector at school, a good friend to many, and one who deepens in their faith.
Happy birthday, Jason! We love you.
Dad
