Jackson

This handsome little man, is our oldest grandson, Jackson. He just turned five in November.

He loves to help bake, his  kind of baking, that is! He has his own little mixture of flour, flour, and more flour!

On the day I snapped this picture, Jackson made me smoothies, with this concoction.....did I mention, his imagination, is something else?

We have a routine when he bakes, hence no shirt. Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter, the shirt comes off (that way he isn't TOO messy when he goes home!).....We started this, probably when he was about two and half years old. So in the beginning, he had a blast but Marmy(that's me) didn't----I had to clean the mess up! Now, he cleans up the counter, washes his dishes (he LOVES washing dishes), gets the broom out, and after sweeping, mops the floor!

You know, his daddy and Uncle, used to do this too. Back then though, all I could think of, was how long was it going to take me to get the kitchen back in order.

Now all  I think of is.....I'm gonna miss this, mess and all, stop growing up my spirited little man, Jackson.....
