My boy Jaden

Jaden seems to have had a lot going on lately so I wanted to spotlight some of the accomplishments and hobbies that he has been working on.

Most recently Jaden finished playing his first season of Flag Football. His soccer team from last year decided that since they had each been playing soccer for at least 5 years they wanted to try something new. They decided on Flag Football and their soccer coach Coach Andy said he would coach them. So they began this season with an entire team of new player with the exception of one. They never won a game, but that never seemed to get them down. Jaden always looked forward to the practices twice a week and their Saturday games. He really just loved the sport of Flag Football, and the FUN that they had.





Saturday the Football League put on an end of the season carnival for the kids and their families. The best part was that it was all-FREE!! My kids each ate 2 whole cotton candies. I don’t normally let my kids do that sort of thing, but this time I caved.


Jaden’s Saturday’s have also been spent playing Church Rag ball. They only had 4 games, but Jaden will take what he can get when it comes to sports. He is already asking what he can do until Soccer starts this fall. He doesn’t want to go the entire summer without playing some kind of sport.

Aside from Jaden's love of sports he also loves school. Even though P.E. and Recess are his favorite subjects he is a great little student. Once again he earned straight A’s on his report card. Jaden has never, not gotten straight A’s in his little 2 ½ years of school. His smart brain certainly doesn’t come from me.



Also in a recent school assembly Jaden received an award for being a student that demonstrates Respect. If only that were the case at home. But nonetheless I am happy that he is at least well behaved at school.



And one last thing that Jaden has been working on is his Wolf Badge in Cub Scouts. Over his past track break he finished all the remaining requirements and earned his badge. Scouts is another love of his.

I really do have a great boy! Aside from the things that I have to always stay on him about, and our personalities always clashing, I am glad that he is mine. I love my little buddy!
