Jason is 9!!

 Jason is 9!! What?! How did our baby grow so fast?! This year has been good to Jason and he is so independent, happy, amazing, and smart! This school year, Jason is in 3rd grade and has shown a lot of independence getting to and from school with cul-de-sac neighbors walking together. He likes to get to school early to make sure he gets all his "morning work" finished. Jason still likes playing Rummy, playing Legos with friends, by himself, or with Leo, playing outside with friends, and playing video games with Luke & Leo. Jason's independent reading has exploded this year and he is ten books into the "Wings of Fire" series and finished the "Diary of an Eight-bit Warrior" series. Jason played soccer in the spring and fall and is playing winter basketball, all on recreational leagues. Jason likes crafts, science experiments, and figuring things out.

For his birthday, Jason had friends over after his basketball game for pizza & cake & a pinata! He was also showered with gifts from our families!

Hustling at basketball!
