Jalen Isaac Maust



Jalen is a joyful little guy. Jalen just turned five years old on September 5. He is in pre-school and kindergarten. He loves books, wild-life, fishing, play-dough, bubbles, swimming and cuddleing with mommy. He is very affectionate and expresses his love verbally a lot. He is so much like his daddy. He loves making friends, but has a special place in his heart for his cousin Koby.
Short story.................
One day this summer I was trying to teach Jalen about manners and how some things like, farting, picking your nose, itching your butt, etc. aren't good to do around people, (instead go into the bathroom and take care of yourself) Anyways, he didn't understand why, so I kept trying to give reason's why, and I finally said "Well people don't really like to be around people who do that stuff, and so they might not want to be your friend if you do those things around them." And Jalen very confidently answered, "Samantha will be my friend no matter what, she likes me just the way that I am." (Samantha was Jalen's friend from school who is a little girl.) I found the whole thing quite humorous, cause I remember a time, (long ago) when Justin's farts never bothered me......huh, I guess we will have to keep our eyes on these two little ones.
