He is so empathetic. He surprises me everyday on how sensitive he is to other people's feelings. When I am overwhelmed but am trying to hold it together- he could be all the way across the room but he'll stop what he is doing and ask me "Mom, what's wrong? Are you okay?" or he'll say "Why are you sad?" There are times when I'm reading the scriptures and I feel the Spirit so sweetly, and then he'll immediately put his toys down, stand up and say "Jesus makes me feel happy!" It's incredible.
He translates Robbie and even Harper's baby language for me when I just don't understand what they are saying. He really doesn't like it when Robbie and Harper cry- it makes him very sad.
Jeddie loves Primary and his playdates with all his church and neighborhood friends. He can never get enough of friends and loves each and every single person he meets. No one is a stranger to him!
Preschool was so much fun. He loved every minute of it and would tell us everyday what was taught. He would even try to teach me a lesson or two, just like his teacher would teach him.
But for this year, we decided that we would continue preschool at home and rethink for preschool next year. He already knows everything in the 3yr class curriculum, was much older than many of his classmates, and overall we feel he could experience better things by going with us to the zoo, on hikes, and to the farm, instead of sitting in the preschool classroom. Instead of getting a step up by going to preschool, he was being left out. We'll continue playdates for him, because we know how important that is for children- especially for him.

Hey lil Jed! We love you so much. We are so proud to be your parents and are trying our best to raise you how Heavenly Father wants us to. You are an amazing little boy and we can't wait to see how you grow up into a man of God.
The other day you were eating dinner at Nana's counter, then you quickly turned around and interrupted Mom and Dad's conversation to say " Dad, when I grow I want to be just like you. Okay?" And Dad choked on his food, and managed to get out an "Okay, Jed." You were pleased with the answer and turned back around and continued to eat your food like nothing spectacular had just happened. But something did! You reminded Dad of his biggest role... being a good example and father to you! I'm sure you gave him more determination to be a good example to you. We love you! Love, Mom and Dad.
