It's no secret that grammar isn't really a strong point in New Orleans. You know if you have visited or gotten acquainted with any of the "locals"around the city. I am in no way bashing the city I hold so dearly to my heart, but I can't help but chuckle at some of the phrases that people use. My sweet Jared was born in the beloved Crescent City. I do however, think it's ironic that living there for such a short period (2 years to be exact) caused him to sometimes speak like a true New Orleanean. On occasion I catch Jared saying things like "mom I need to axe you a question?" This of course brings on a little tease, all in fun. He then swears he said "ask", but I beg to differ. One thing I would have LOVED for him to carry over is the amazing hospitality you get from the south. There isn't a place you walk into without someone greeting you with "Baby" inserted somewhere in the sentence. (i.e. "watcha need baby?") Well, my oldest boy "baby" happens to be turning 8 today. Here are 8 wonderful things we love about Jared.1. He is extremely sensitive and often looks out for his siblings.
2. He likes to be punctual, many times a day I hear Jared saying "mom we are going to be late!"
3. He is a natural at everything he tries. Definitely an attribute from his dad.
4. He uses his "wrong arm" according to sport talk. I am proud to say left handedness came from me!
5. He enjoys having his hair "spiky" and insists I do it this way for school.
6. Very inquisitive. Enjoys asking questions and wants to know why, why and why about everything.
7. School comes easily to him and we never have to explain things to him. (hope this continues)
8. He gets a great tan in the summer and his hair gets SUPER white. I could go on and on.........
Happy 8th Birthday Bud!
We Love You!!
blessing: having 4 healthy children
