Greg Johnnie is ONE!

Happy Birthday, Son

YEA GREG JOHNNIE!!!

Wow, you are a bonified(sp?) toddler!

1. You still love your daddy above all others.

2. You also still love to be held. (and mom loves obliging you)

3. You say, "Ma ma, Da da, Bu bu, and Ma (maggie)" and lots of other jibber-jabber.

4. You are surprisingly gentle with 'Ma' and chuckle when ya'll play tug-o-war with her chew toys.

5. You are the friendliest kiddo around and regularly conversate with everyone at the grocery store.

6. You run from Mom, when you think/ know she's gonna take something away from you.

(It's usually whatever food you found on the floor or the sucker at the end of your HEB balloon.)

7. You click your tongue and smack your lips when you're happy.

8. You are finally understanding what "NO" means.

9. You pretty much refuse to use sign language (Mom's not giving up.)

10. Mom likes when you 'help' her fold laundry.

11. You really like going out to the backyard

12. Big brother's way of getting you out of his hair is to carry you to us (like a sack of potatoes) and say, "You want Momma?"

13. You have given us so many opportunities to teach your big brother about putting others before himself and being gentle and patient: the attitude of Christ.

14. You have the best big brother.

Your Party:

We invited our summit group kids and their parents over for cake and ice cream. It was a great time to visit with the parents. Yes, it was great to see our high schoolers, but how often do we get to have a party with your parents too?...We like your parents. :)

No picture of Greggie covered in cake?...Nope, he wouldn't touch it. We had a big group over and the kid wouldn't perform. (I know that made his daddy proud...the rebel. But I was actually a little embarrased. I mean the entertainment was a flop! Shame on me.)
