A Big Down

Jairus loves to eat Bagel Bites, which are miniature frozen bagel pizzas. Most kids like pizza...so what makes this blog worthy?

Well, Jairus likes to eat them after they have been microwaved, but he also loves to eat them frozen. Like right out of the freezer – which, by most accounts, is weird.

To add to this interesting habit, in the last 6 months Jairus has started being specific about his frozen bagel pizzas. He only wants to eat them frozen if they have “big downs.” All other pizzas are to be cooked. So, it didn’t take Joe and I too long to figure out this “big down” label in order to avoid conflict.

This pizza has a “big down”:
Notice the cheese/sauce hanging down.  Any pizza that has stuff over the side counts as a "big down" and is therefore great to eat right out of the feezer.

 
This pizza is headed for the microwave:
Poor, boring, regular pizza is about to get cooked!

Jaiurs gets out the entire package and looks through the pizzas as he decides which to eat while he waits for a few others to be cooked.  This is another funny little Jairus-ism that I don't want to forget!

Jairus is playing a computer game with Joe. I just overheard him telling his daddy to accomplish some feat and then they would "have it made in the shade." That's a new phrase for him and it makes me giggle. – April 2

“Boomtastic!!” yelled Jairus as those fireworks went off. Love Cruz! – April 4

“I should have stayed at school” mumbled Jairus as he was getting in trouble. – April 15

When Jairus grows up he wants to be a daddy and a Texas Ranger. :) – April 17

After school Jairus had a special cross sucker. When I asked him about it, Jairus told me that "Jesus didn't stay on the cross forever. He went down to the grave and then came up into our hearts." Amen son! That makes me so thankful! – April 21

“This is the bear that cares" Jairus told my high school girls this morning. :) – April 25


“See, I have an explanation point. It’s an upside lower case i” Jairus tells me this morning as he plays with blocks. – April 30
