John

John is a great big brother. He loves to help April in the ways that Adam and I would help him. He finds her food out of the pantry, will pour her glasses of water, open doors that are still tough for her and give her toys to play with. It's fun to hear him ask her, "April, wanna play in Johnny's room?" I love that they get along for the most part and spend time playing together.

John loves building things. He loves his Lego's and gears and putting his train tracks together. He will take his play tools all over the house and tell me that he is fixing something. But I guess it shouldn't be any surprise. He was always fascinated to watch Adam work around the house. It will be so nice to have two handy guys around!

John is very independent. He must dress himself, strap himself into his car seat, turn a movie on and off, and basically anything else I will let him do. I guess there are lots of good things about it, but when did he get so big?

Heavenly Father has blessed my with a very special spirit.
