This day 5 years ago we had our 3rd son, Jaimin Michael. He weighed in at 8lbs 5oz. His was the first c section I enjoyed. I went in feeling good, had a baby, 2 days later left the hospital. Jaimin was so cute and cuddly. We had so much fun with him as a baby. He was also our wild child from day one: he flipped out of daddies arms at 2 weeks old or so,luckily I caught him. He didn't develop his tear ducts right away, he had a herniated bellybutton for 6 months or so. At 4 months old he was crawling, 8 months he was walking, by a year had a full vocabulary. Right after his first birthday he picked up my curling iron and stuck it right to his left cheek, he healed fine and there is no scar now but it sure scared us. At 15 months we realized his legs were a little more than bowed so we took him to a specialist and the had to give him special shoes to wear. Fixed it right up. He had to get staples in the back of his head at 18 months when he fell off our bar stool. WHAT ELSE? The list goes on and on, he had to go to the hospital 1 year ago today for drinking some of my prescription Tylenol with codeine. That scared the crap out of me. On top of all the wildness of this kid he is too big for his britches, he is always bored with whatever he is doing so my house is never clean when that kid is at play. He hated this gymnastics class we put him in cause he didn't start off doing "back hand springs", he told his teacher he wouldn't do a few cartwheels and dance around for their program, so he's out. A few months ago one of the primary teachers left his sight for 1 minute and the next thing she knew he was walking outside the building towards home. She was in tears when she told us she thought she lost him. HE IS ONLY 5! What are we going to do with him? I pray for his future school teachers!
Despite all the pain I endure, sometimes daily, I wouldn't ever give up the opportunity to raise this special spirit. Mike and I always wonder what he is suppose to be teaching us, what Heavenly Fathers plan is for him in our lives. I can't wait to find out but in the mean time we know we just have to have patience with him. We love our J.J. Happy Birthday!
