Jaren is such a great brother! He was definitely born in the right pecking order. He knows how to be a big brother and is such a great example. I love his tender ways and the ability he has to negotiate. I always tell him most everything is negotiable and he has listened and learned. We have also been working on being brave and having courage so we can get the most out of life. He applied this theory the other day at McDonald’s when he didn’t get the toy he wanted. He marched right up to the counter and came back with the toy he was looking for. “Look mom,” he says. “I was brave and it wasn’t too scary and now I have the best one.”

Here are some pics from his party at Fat Cats

For the record. Jaren did bowl a strike without the metal rails (the bumpers were up but the ball didn’t hit those either) We were whooping and hollering for quite some time. Jaren was perma grin!
