Mom and Jordan Time

Jordan has been having a hard time lately.  I am not sure if its the stress of school, the stress of having a new brother, or a little of both.  Today was a VERY hard day for us.  Chris and I are trying to figure out ways to help him through these changes.  I decided that Jordan needs some one on one time with me every day.  I asked him he would like that and the tears he was crying at the time stopped and he smiled and said YES!  So we made a deal, if he would come home from school and do his homework (and do it right) we would spend at least 3o minutes together doing whatever he wanted.  I told him I would put my phone in another room and that his daddy could play with Isaac and me and him would do whatever he wanted.  He was so excited and asked if we could start tonight.  It was nearing his bedtime but I told him of cf course.  As I said, it was a very hard day and he very much needed a positive thing to end the night with.  So, he brought out a huge picture to color and we set out to complete it.  We had to look up exactly what color Gary the Snail is so we could color him perfectly.  We messed up a bit but I think we got pretty close.  Below is a picture of the finished art work.  We will sale it to the highest bidder LOL (It is autographed by both artists, who knows we may both be famous someday!)

Please say a prayer for Jordan tonight that he can get past whatever is stressing him out.  He is such a sweet boy and its very hard for me to see him struggling!

  1. Hooray! Perfect way to end the evening. Let me know if it works again tomorrow. By the way- I think you both have potential at anyone who wants to hire folks who can stay between the lines. Exceptional!
