You know Marlin, at the beginning of Finding Nemo, how he keeps trying to tell that same joke and just can’t seem to get it right? But he knows that deep down he really has the potential to be funny? And then when he’s looking for Nemo, and comes across this school of fish and they say, “blah blah blah blee blee blee- Mr. Bossy”?
That is my Jayce. He turned 9 yesterday. And I LOVE being around him. He has finally learned how to tell jokes that make the whole room laugh, and knows how to laugh at himself.
He has more self assurance than even I have at age 31. (Case in point- see wristbands in picture below) One day I came to pick him up from school and he had his shirt tucked way into his shorts, and his shorts hiked up. I told him he looked like a dork. He told me he didn’t care, that he liked ‘em.
I LOVE THAT.
If you’re going to do something, do it because you want to. As far as Mr. Bossy goes... He is and probably always will be bossy in some form. I’m cool with that.
Happy Birthday Bug, I love you!!
