Jordan

A conversation Jordan and I had last night...
J: Mom do bad people get to come back to life?
A: Um, well, everyone will one day be resurrected and then God will choose who was good and gets to go to heaven with Him and who was bad and doesn't.
J: (thinking for a minute) Well that's easy he could just ask you how many years you got a present from Santa and how many years you got coal and then it would be an easy decision for Him.

Nice logic kid!

For Christmas this year we went to Chicago. Santa holds a lot of stock right now so Jordan was pretty anxious to make sure Santa would know where we were. Luckily he found us!

Some things I just don't understand. Jordan and Abby share a room. Jordan has a bunk bed but has only slept in the top bunk a handful of times. It is pretty high up and doesn't have a guard rail so I can understand why he might not want to sleep up there. Well now he is this phase of wanting to sleep on the floor?! I don't understand it. How uncomfortable! We'll even go in there before we go to bed and move him into his bed and he has asked us not to. He likes sleeping on the floor.

Grandma and Grandpa Bishopp got Jordan a bike for Christmas and we picked it out a couple weeks early. He LOVES it. He rides it before school and after. We'll go on bike rides to the playground or on the greenways and he is a speedy kid. We recently were given one of those pull behind bike chariots and now Abby can come on bike rides too.

Jordan is on a year round school schedule and because we flew to Chicago for Christmas he got out of school a few days early. Then after the Christmas break instead of going back to school he was "tracked out". So since December 18th this kid has not been in school and it shows...

One day he decided to take the mattress topper off his bed and use it to slide down the stairs. He had so much fun and thankfully didn't get hurt.

 

Jordan really is an awesome big brother. He shares EVERYTHING with Abby. He is so good about helping out and making sure she is happy. He loves to play a game with his friends where they hide from Abby and lose points if she sees them. His friends come over and ask to play with her and he's such a good sport about it. She's pretty lucky to have such a kind big brother.

At 6.5 he has lost his two bottom teeth in the front, he is in Kindergarten and likes it most of the time, he's still not a fan of primary and especially singing time, he loves watching the Star Wars movies, plays games on Lego.com and Luke's old cell phone, stays up late and sleeps in, and is a very sweet and kind little boy who can be very emotional at times. We sure do love him!
