Gratitude Post #8 - Jeffrey

Gratitude Post #8 is from Jeffrey. Jeffrey is grateful for his brother and sister!
Jeffrey's favorite time of the day is when the kids get home from school, hands down! He gets so bored by being home with just me from the time he gets home until the kids walk in the door. The more chaos they bring with them, the happier he is! Julie and Jackson can bring a smile to his face faster than anyone else. Letting Jeffrey lay on the floor and having Julie and Jackson dance and mess around with him on the floor with make Jeffrey squeal with delight and bring a smile on his face. If you see us at the grocery store or shopping, there is a good chance that Julie or Jackson is pushing Jeffrey or sitting at his feet, wheeling them both around using their feet. They take care of their big brother with such love and tenderness, it brings tears to my eyes. Recently we had to break up a fight between Julie and Jackson because they were FIGHTING over where Jeffrey would live when James and I go on a mission in 15+ years! When Jeffrey has a seizure, they know their different roles and do them with such love and concern in their faces. They love their big brother so much and in return, he loves them! Jeffrey really is grateful for Julie and Jackson.





(I chose this picture so you can see how Jackson sits on Jeffrey's wheelchair most of the time!)
