Talking Tuesday

Here's a recent conversation between Jordan and myself:

Jordan-Mama, when is it gonna be winter?
Me- This is winter. Then a brief explanation of each season
Jordan-When is it gonna be summer?
Me-not for a while, winter is just settling in
Jordan-I don't like winter
Me-why?
Jordan-Because you have to wear your big jacket everywhere, in the car, all the time. I don't like that.
Me-It's best to, or you might freeze.
Jordan-I still don't like it

I should add that we do a lot of walking on base. It's just easier to walk, rather than load everyone and the stroller in the car to only drive 3-5 minutes. Jordan is the one that I have to beg, plead, and sometimes discipline to get his jacket on...every morning as we walk Jannah to school!! He does indeed, dislike the cold weather. I think he really belongs in Florida! Maybe I'll send him to live with his Aunt Lori and Uncle Derek or Uncle Jon and Aunt Kathy for the winter? What do yall think?!? We went to get donuts at our little shop here on base the other morning, it was all of 9 degrees outside. Even though donuts are the kids' favorite treat, Jordan was less than thrilled about walking 5 minutes to get his favorite chocolate covered, rainbow sprinkle donut! That means he really is going to have a rough winter...pray for him...and me!!
