Jon Loran's 4th Birthday Interview

Well, the boy who made me a Mommy on October 7, 2010 is turning 4!! I know that's still young, but it seems so old so fast! He is a gift to us all and teaches us so much! This year, in particular, Jon Loran has matured in so many ways. He's learning to be brave. Things that brought fear in the past have become an adventure now such as climbing to new heights and letting go of me in the swimming pool! He is learning to play and share with his favorite playmate and sister, Evelyn! They have one of the most precious bonds I've seen between young siblings and we are daily blessed to watch their relationship develop! He continues to be just as excitable! It's so easy to get him thrilled about a new thing and it truly makes life FUN! While we still tumble through tantrums and hard lessons in between, our lives are made more whole with this precious gift from God! Happy Birthday Jon Loran!

Jon Loran's Birthday Interview

In hopes of continuing this interview every year, I'm posting my birthday interview with Jon Loran at 3 years old. He has so many wonderful qualities. He is a joy to be around, has never met a stranger, wants to know everything going on around him, gets extremely excited about anything you are excited about and anything with the adjective "special" in front of it, and so darn cute (but I'm not biased)! He is so quick and eager to learn anything and everything we are ready to share with him. He is a typical (now) 3 year old in terms of wanting things his own way, independence, and learning how to share with friends ;), but being our first born, we are learning to do the best we can to teach him and walk WITH him through life's journey. Seeing the world through his eyes is making us see our Father and Creator with new eyes as well, and for that and all of the above, we are eternally grateful! We love our 3 year old!
