Jack Gibson turned 5 years old the other day. He had a party with his Mom, Dad, big sister, little sister and two sets of grandparents. He was the star of the party and enjoyed every minute of it.
Jack attends daycare and preschool. Jack likes dinosaurs, cars, trains and all things "boy". Jack also likes girls but that is another story for another day. Jack usually has a twinkle in his eye and loves to joke and tease. He is at that stage where he likes to pick on his big sister and even likes to tease his little sister but after scaring Maddie Mae one day by wearing a frightful monster mask, he patted her and tried to comfort her. "Its okay, Maddie. Its okay." Jack has a mind of his own and a bit of an ornery streak but is also kind and loving.
Jack can be very determined. If he makes up his mind to something, he does it. He learned to ride the 2-wheeler when he was only 3-1/2 years old. If he decides he doesn't like a food, forget trying to coax him into eating it. At the cabin this summer, he asked me if he could put the wooden truck in the swimming pool. I said, Jack, if you do, the wood will swell up and it might warp. (Try explaining "warped" to a 4-1/2 year old.) After several conversations, Jack did indeed put the truck in the pool. So later, after swimming at the beach, Jack was upset to find that the wheels wouldn't turn on the truck. "Well, Jack, you put the wooden truck in the water and the wood swelled." Jack was VERY unhappy and wanted it fixed right Now! I told him only time might fix it. That did not make him one bit happy but he put the truck in the air-conditioned cabin and was delighted the next morning when the wood had dried out and the wheels turned once again.
Jack is athletic and tall, kind and caring. Ornery boy. Jack Gibson, Nana loves you!
