Two of My Reasons

I have mentioned Joe and Joci in previous postings but haven't really talked much about them. We have been around them since birth and the bond and love is so strong between us. They truly do make life worth living in so many ways.

Joe is five and so excited that next fall he will start kindergarden. He is all boy but has such a tender heart and soul. When he wants to stop with the hugs and kisses it will break my heart...you know, when they are too "old" to do that stuff. Perhaps he won't get too old. He has an angel face and is very creative and smart. He will be the charmer. His little brain is like a sponge and soaks up everything he sees, hears and reads.

Joci is three and is the boss. She also has that angel face and is so in control. She's the little mom. I can remember the teachers saying that Jennifer wanted to be everyone's mom in school and take care of them...yep that's Joci. She is so girly yet such a little tom boy. She thinks she can do everything Joe does regardless of how physical it is and if she's in pink that's even better. She's a thinker/fixer. She wants to figure it out herself and she usually does and is annoyed if you keep asking if she needs help.

Of course Ron is so wrapped around their fingers. He loves to have them come out and follow him around and ask all those questions. He really loves teaching and telling them things about how things work and how to do things. And of course, rules are different at Papaw's house, he's strict about some things but not many...they pretty much can do and have whatever, whenever, that is of course unless Mom and Dad are around.

I feel so sorry for those grandparents who are not around their little ones and especially the ones that chose not to be. They are missing so much in life.
