This-n-that about Jalen

Jalen just told me, "Mom, even if I don't have any friends, I'll still be happy, because I have you. I'll always have you."

Today at his valentines party, he loudly told everyone, "My mom is here, my mom is here!"

He tried to hug me the whole time I was in his classroom, but I kept reminding him to play the games with the other kids.

Jalen loves to make people laugh. If he gets alittle reaction the first time he says something, he will say it again and again and get louder each time. He loves attention! He loves laughter!

Jalen has a great teacher! She has a huge job and some how she stays on top of everything!

I have recently discoverd his ability to really focus for a length of time. It is so neat! He does well focusing if there are no distractions. The other day, he sat at the table quietly, by himself, and put a 100 piece puzzle together. It took about an hour. He was so proud of himself.

Jalen recieved his bag full of Valentines from his classmates today. There were 22 Valentines and only 2 people included candy with there Valentine. (Our school has a NO CANDY policy). So in the van, before we were even home, Jalen said "Here Miah the sucker is for you, and here Cameron the chocolate thing is for you." (This is an interesting thing about Jalen, He does not usually share very well, BUT he loves to give! He will give things away very easily and he does it with a cheerful heart, but when it comes to sharing something that he sees as HIS, he's not into it!)

Jalen has lots of energy! I mean LOTS!!!!

Jalen recieved the honor of being STUDENT OF THE MONTH this month! Today I took his picture next to the big bulletin board at school.

Jalen is such a cool kid, I am so thankful for him and blessed daily by his love and kindness.
