Just the Two of Us

Hello All,

For a while, I've wanted to write a blog solely dedicated to my favorite person in the world. The one, the only...Jordan. Today's blog title is brought to you by Will Smith, Just the Two of Us.

This is Jordan's ringtone for when he calls me, and sometimes we will dork out and sing this to each other. Maybe him and I should make a music video to this. That would be cool. Simply put, couldn't ask for a better kid.

So with that, here is today's blog.

Ten Things I love about Jordan

1. The way he randomly just pops out of nowhere to hug me or drop random kisses on me.
2. His "negotiation" skills. i.e. "How about this, how about instead of buying a game, we trade in games that way we don't have to spend money?" (Happens all the time.)
3. His willingness to seek knowledge on his own (reading books, magazines, kid friendly websites)
4. Random. Questions. (i.e. Monday Morning upon seeing a commercial for Seasonique: What's a period?)
5. The way he comes up and lays next to me, and quietly asks "can I put my feet on you." Which leads to random kicking throughout the night, and me having a sore body the next day.
6. His laugh. Hilarious. Once he starts going, it literally makes me laugh.
7. The way he helps out around the house without me having to ask.
8. Every song I like, he automatically likes, and gets mad if I don't want to hear it at that moment.
9. He taught me how to Dougie. Yes. He did. Kids got more style than his old man.
10. Um...He LOVES Parks and Recreation, Family Guy, The Simpsons, and tons of other shows and movies that I love.

I could literally list about 7 billion reasons why I am fortunate to have the kid that I do. He's funny as hell, a good kid, smart, and handsome. I could go on and on and on and on about him. He's special to me, there's no doubt about that. I miss him when he's not with me, but I talk to him daily.

Yes sometimes it appears to be unfortunate that he has to split times between two households, but that hasn't affected him one bit. Him and I have a relationship that is unbreakable. We do things on the days that I have him every week. Either movies, Dave and Busters, hiking, walk at Tempe Town Lake, playgrounds, playing baseball or football, going to sports games, and traveling.

He is like me in so many ways. He hates to lose and is very competitive. He can beat me at video games, likes the same types of food. Movies. Sports teams. Trash talk. Making fun of people. So many things. Like a mini clone of me.

Sidenote: He named 99% of the characters in the book I wrote, and he suggested which superpowers the kids and villain should have. 

He asks can he do things travel wise, such as he asked to go to LegoLand for his birthday last year (his 7th), this year for his birthday (8th) he asked to go on a Disney Cruise (we're going October 8th-15th) and next year (9th), he wants to go to China. Yes. China. Why? He wants to go learn Kung-Fu from Mr. Han. Yes, the Karate Kid (2010 version).

These are just some of the many things he does. He's a sweet kid. One who I can't imagine living without. He tells me all the time he would like a little sister, and I swear if I could find the right person to procreate with, I'd do it, especially if I was assured that she (or possibly he) turned out to be as wonderful as Jordan has turned out to be.

Either way, I am fortunate and blessed. He is one of a kind, and I cherish all of the moments that we share together. My time is up, gotta go and sneak attack him.
