Born in Little Rock, Arkansas,

People hold up 4 fingers to say that's the station they watch,
Jason comes out wanting channel 4,

Twenty four inches long,
No baby wrap big enough,
Only one day in hospital,
Take him home,
Half grown already,
Formula can and a half a day,
Sleeps all night at 7 days,
Cereal at two weeks,
Cookie monster,
Cooookie,
No bed holds him,
Climbs like a monkey,
Rips diapers off,
As fast as I can put on,
Naked as a jay-bird,
Mama-O's nickname,
Loves his round walker,
Follows Jon everywhere,
Watches his brother's every move,
Learns to talk at late age,
He screeches,
Brother Jon interprets,
His favorite and only food rice cereal,
No veggies,
Finished eating in high chair,
He throws plate,
Suction cup plate bought,
He turns purple ripping up plate,
He is very strong,
He screeches,
Jon interprets,
Learns new trick,
How to rip top off high chair,
Sails food and top across room,
He screeches,
Jon interprets,
Tell Jon he must learn to talk,
First word not da-da,
But a whole sentence,
I want my ba-ba,
Jon says I suppose you understood that,
Yep no more screeching,
His favorite thing to say to me,
I do it myself,
Try to help him dress, eat etc,
I do it myself,
Living in Delaware,
Poor Kentucky kids down the street,
Six of them,
Little girls and boys come in and play,
Jason adores them,
Jon likes to play with them,
Find out no heat in their house,
They spend a lot of time at our house,
Peanut butter and jelly for everyone,
Jason's first birthday everyone there waiting for cake,
At nine months takes out across floor dancing,
Never even walked before,
Leon Redbone, "Hand Me Down My Walking Cane",
Playing on stereo,
Mom and Dad shocked,
Rock-a-bye baby his favorite,
Gets very emotional,
Cries baby fall, baby fall,
Begs for the song again,
Again, again, and again,
Moved to townhome in Delaware,
Met Jake and Jackie,
They are at our house alot,
Hyman and Jackie Farbman their parents,
Night before his first Easter,
We all dyed eggs,
Next morning parents have 103 temp,
Flu,
Jon is in charge of hiding eggs,
Much giggling,
Taking care of his brother,
Thank God Jon in charge,
We all survive with his help,
Moved to Savannah at age 2,
Live in a cul-de-sac with fifteen kids,
He always wants to go outside and play,
One day, time to eat, can't find him,
Panic,
He had climbed up on chair and unbolted chain lock,
I do it myself,
Ran from house to house searching for him,
All the kids in neighborhood searching,
Laura finally says found him,
He was asleep in their messy garage,
When he finally gets to play outside,
He won't keep his clothes on,
He loves displaying himself to the little girls,
Mrs. Shroyer Jason is naked again,
Mrs. Shroyer Jason is peeing outside again,
He grows older,
Kids busy all day long with friends,
Jason with Little Richard,
Jon with Laura, and Scotty,
And "Jarred",
Who later turned out to be Jared,
And of course later, J Michael,
He and Little Richard always up to something,
Mom gets a job and he goes to Kindercare,
Falls head over heels for Katie,
Gets a little sister,
Says things were just fine with just him and Jon,
Spends his days making her screech,
Second grade his teacher rides him,
Tells me she can;t handle him,
I know from her body language and attitude it's something else,
Go home and think about it,
I call a conference with Principal and teacher,
I bait the teacher to get her to disclose her bigotry,
She basically doesn't like boy children,
Especially little white boy children,
I watch the principals face,
Horror stricken,
I request removal from her class,
He then has a new teacher,
Old teacher out the door by semester,
No body messes with Mama Bears cubs,
We move to Washington Court House, Ohio,
There only six months,
He and Jon spend time eating pizza,playing video games,
He has a pet named Butterscotch,
A cat from Wal-Mart parking lot,
Butterscotch turns out to be male not female,
Name changed to Butter,
Meets Levi next door,
From Wyoming,
They get walkie talkies and talk through the wall of the townhouse,
Moved again to Soddy-Daisy,
Stayed there for 8 months,
Mom worked to take care of family,
Not the mommie fails to be at home one day,
He and kid sister locked out in brutal lightening storm,
He protects his sister,
Move again to San Antonio for two years,
Goes out for basketball,
Only to discover other boys bussed in from juvie hall,
End of basketball career,
Hangs out with twin guys next door,
Hates middle school,
Ruff kids, huge school,
Nurse calls at least twice a week to come get him,
She says he has temperature,
I finally buy a new thermometer, No temp,
She calls, I take new thermometer with me,
She takes his temp, I take his temp,
We do this with a few more kids,
Her thermometer screwed up,
Trips home stopped,
One day a teacher he dislikes,
Makes him get down on his knees,
If his shorts don't touch the ground,
Then they are too short,
I measure when he comes home,
One half an inch too short,
She makes him wear pink girls jogging pants all day,
I go to school have a "word" with her in front of principal,
Tell her if she has a problem she calls me,
She will NEVER humilate my son like that again,
Unless she was begging for a law suit,
Move to Jacksonville, Arkansas,
He gets a mo-ped,
Has a best friend named Jason,
He is an army brat,
Wild as the wind,
We lived here only one year,
Move to Wichita, KS,
Here he spends his high school years,
Goes to the oldest school in town for two years,
Tells me horror stories of the other kids in school,
Tries to hang with the wrong crowd,
I know they are leading him down the wrong path,
Mama Bear keeps tight leash on him,
He hates her for it,
Lets his dad purchase old car for him to fix up,
Keep him busy with dad on old car,
No time to run with the bad ones,
Car becomes known as the watermelon car,
Needs new interior,
Only interior in junk yard they find is red,
Car is dark green,
Dad and he make sun roof, loud pipes, etc,
He meets Daniel,
We finally buy a house and move to better school,
His lung collaspes right before we move,
Spend two weeks in hospital trying to fix it,
Try to keep dad away from doctors and nurses because of temper,
Don't want Jason stressed,
Turns out too many doctors in the kitchen,
Teaching hospital,
After colossal screw up by nurse, turned the "Pit Bull" loose,
Move him to private room per doctor,
No doctor in room unless it is him,
Forty eight hours later he was doing better,
Goes to Maize High and meets psycho bitch,
Enough said about that one,
Works at Blockbuster Music,
Meets the love of his life,
His partner,
Moves to Springfield, Il,
Gets married and starts living his adult life,
He's all grown up now and a man,
He's still,
Doing it himself,
Only now he has Andrea to hear him say,
I do it myself.
Jessica's Feet
Jason's Feet
Jonathan's Feet
Yep he's all "growed" up. They all had fun buying presents for each other. We gave cards and money.
