�Justin learned to ride his bicycle without training wheels. And he did this on his own without even falling off once. One of his training wheels kept lifting off the ground and he learned to balance on one training wheel, then none. Justin is so safety conscious that when I took off both his training wheels that weren't touching the ground anyways, Justin said, "I think I need to wear a helmet and knee pads." When I told him that he really doesn't have to because he has been riding on 2 wheels all along and it will only be in the backyard, Justin said, "I really should wear the helmet and the knee pads because this is the first time," and he ran off to the garage, got his safety gears on and without missing a beat, he rode his bicycle with no training wheels. That same day, on Sunday, Justin told his Saddleback Sunday school teacher, Ms. Anne that he can ride his bicycle with only 2 wheels.
Justin has really taken interest in writing. His first sentence he wrote by himself is: "DES IS A PET PAPR". The "P" was reversed and so was the "E", but cute just the same.
Today Justin says, "Everyone loves me because I am so nice and gentle...all my class, my teachers and Taya, Gel, Bella, Paul and Tammy love me and I love them." I ask Justin, did your teacher tell you that you were gentle and nice?� Justin says, "No, I just know."
Justin says, "I have#1 family, which is you, me and grandma and grandpa, then Taya, Isabella, Tammy, Paul and Gel is family #2, then # 3 is Ms. Conty and my friends, then...he whispers, daddy and me.�
Driving back from LA, my 4 year old son tells me a story of the most beautiful home ever.� It's in the middle of no where, it's quiet, peaceful, no interruptions, so quiet that you sleep during the day and at night you can see the view of the city lights. It is 6 stories high, it is like model home, but it is so clean, there are no flies, no ants...they have a special vaccuum that sucks up all the bad things in the house.� It has a kitchen and garage upstairs and down stairs.�
Justin's imaginary friends, he tells me are sooo kind and nice that they would let you borrow something that are brand new to them and even lets you borrow things that other people would say no.� His friends are so nice that they let Justin design their world.��He tells me that his friends help God everyday and that God made him and the he made his friends.�His friends even were taught to swim when they were babies.�
Worried about grandpa driving in the dark from LA, Justin says that his friends who is the best driver in the world, better than mommy, better than the bus drivier is in front of grandpa and is leading him.� When we stopped at McDonald's Justin says, his friend parked up on the roof.�
Justin says that he has so many of these wonderful imaginary friends that he would share them, 74 for mommy, 72 for grandma and 79 for grandpa and 70 teen for himself--which is the biggest number in the world, according to Justin.�
Justin really wanted to take a tour of LA on the bus, so we did and had a great time.� He wanted to try sitting in the back of the bus, which turned out to be the best seats on the bus.�
(6/7/09)� Justin is my 4 year old son.� I am starting this journal to record the cute, silly, and sometimes amazing wisdom that comes out of an "old soul" of a boy.� The other day, Justin says on the way home from his preschool. "You know, everyone wants to be my friend, the ones who are older than me, the smaller one, and even the one who are same age as me...I�have too many friends."� At home he says, "I�try to be nice to everyone...I do it by always thinking that 'I am good'."� When I asked him who told him this, he says, "my truck friends who live in the sky."� He says that his truck friends are God's helpers and that they can talk directly to God...Justin is not very assertive, but is trying...when I�reminded him how shy he was in the beginning, he says, "I am too assertive now and when people are too assertive, they cannot remember when they were not assertive..."
