Jaden

Jaden started at his new school after the holiday break.  You can see how excited he is to go in to his new school!
He seems to be warming up to the change.  He's now mentioning friends names, and was excited to go to the Family Fitness Fun night earlier this week for us to see his school!


His teacher Mrs. Cannon seems nice, and I LOVE their homework.  She sure keeps them busy!  He's really excelling with reading and 15 spelling words each week doesn't seem to bother him.
Sports always make Jaden happy.  For Christmas, Oma and Grandpa got Jaden some indoor soccer shoes and signed him up for Futsol (indoor soccer)  Jaden is so glad that soccer is two times a week!
I'm so glad he has bright red socks so we can pick him out quickly when he's running around with all the other players! :)  He was worried he'd be made fun of since the H on the socks was pink, and "boys don't wear pink!"  I assured him that no one would be making fun of his pink! (And so far, no one has)


He's been a little hesitant and more nervous this year, especially when it's his turn to play goalie.  But like most things, he's getting better and better each time.  He even ASKED to play goalie at the last game Saturday.  Christian continues to say that Jaden remind him of himself playing soccer when he was younger.  I guess they have more similarities than just their looks! :)
He also got to start Jr. Jazz (Christmas gift from Grandma and Grandpa)  He's gotten a lot better at dribbling this year and was even just dribbling while watching his team from the sidelines.
This kid sure seems to love sports.  And we sure love him!
