5 Year Old Jackson

Here are some things about Jack:

He loves sports. He loves playing them, watching them, and playing Wii sports games. Basketball and baseball are his favorite sports. He's very competitive and we often have to remind him to be nice when he's playing and not talk about how good he is or if he's winning.

He loves playing the Wii. His favorite game right now is Mario Sports Mix. Pretty much anytime Doug is home he asks to play.

He loves reading. He is really good at it. He even read a book to his preschool class since Miss Ashlee couldn't stop coughing.

He's not excited for kindergarten next year.

He's good at helping Kenzie. He puts her shoes on her for me sometimes, which is very helpful.

He love playing the leapster.

He gave a talk last week in primary and apparently really enjoyed it. Doug said Jack told him that he wants to give a talk every week. He told me today on the way to church that he wishes he could give a talk in Sacrament. I told him that he'll be able to in October or November for his primary program since they asked if he could give the talk he just gave last week for it.

One day in primary a couple months ago, the teacher asked why a baby was holding on to his parents in a picture that she was showing and Jackson said it was so the baby wouldn't blow away in the wind. He was completely serious.

He loves to eat whatever we want for dinner, which really means cereal or waffles. He wishes we could eat the everyday.

He loves wearing shorts and summer clothes.

Here are some things he says about himself:

I like going to Hawaii.

I like to play basketball at home.

I like to go to parks when it's warm and when it's summer. (although he complains about the brightness of the sun a lot)

I like to play with daddy.

I like to eat cereal at breakfast.

I like to eat Rice Krispies and I like to eat Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

At lunch time I like to eat Mac and Cheese with ketchup on it.
