It's Awards Night - Part 2

Now it's Jason's turn before the audience. Surprise! He also won an awesome son award! I know. How can we be so lucky that two in the same family won such an amazing award? :-)

The rules for this award are simple - just give 7 fun facts about the nominee for the awesome son award.


7 fun facts about Jason:

1. Jason is in love with cars. He likes to play with cars, put play doh on his cars, look at pictures of cars,  and especially spot cars on the freeway. He can even name the different types of vehicles by sight. (We're talking he could pick out the exact duplicate of my mom's car on the freeway from far away. I couldn't even do that!) We just about made his life when we introduced him to the Pixar movie, Cars, and we watch it at least once a day. Because of the movie, he has also added "cars with eyes" to his loves--just in time for "Cars 2." While Shawn likes to watch song videos on You Tube, Jason only asks, "Can we see car transporters?" :-)
2. Jason's favorite fashion accessory is a hat. I don't know how he does it, but he always manages to cock it on his head for the perfect amount of reckless style. Right now, his favorite hat has the Cars 2 characters on it. He loves that thing.
3. When Jason sleeps, the only thing he covers with his blanket is his head. Well actually, the reason he has to cover his head is because he likes his ears covered. I'll go into his room most nights to find him laying on his belly, arms tucked underneath him for warmth, his knees bent and feet straight up in the air, and yes, you guessed it, his head is the only thing covered.
4. Jason is fiercely protective of his brother. Sure, he likes to knock the snot out of him when he gets mad, but it is only he that can do that (he doesn't even like it if I discipline Shawn). Jason's protective nature is very evident this week now that Shawn is getting his eye drops three times a day. It is so sweet to see him come to Shawn's aid, even by trying to distract us so Shawn is safe. At the very least, he always gives his brother a reassuring hug after the ordeal.
5. Jason loves to play outside in the dirt. He likes to dig in it and find rocks, which he'll then load onto the back of his dump truck. He'll bury his cars in the dirt and likes to make dirt castles. I think he'd spend all day outside if he could. Well, he would if it wasn't windy...or too sunny (he hates wearing sunblock)...or rainy...or too cold. He doesn't like the wind and cold one bit. He is my kid after all. :-)
6. Jason has a very vivid imagination and loves to play make believe. He went through a stage where he pretended he was different animals. It wasn't uncommon for him to do funny things like this: Isaac had just walked into the house from work. He walked over to his chair and sat down. Jason came hurrying over and without warning licked the top of Isaac's shoe. Like I said, there was no warning. No words. Just a quick lick. Um...okay. "Jason. Did you lick daddy's shoe?" asked Isaac. Jason looked up at him and shook his head no a few times with a devilish look in his eye. Without taking his eyes off of Isaac, the no shake evolved in a few yes nods. "Why, buddy?" Isaac asked. "Cuz I missed you." Yes, my boy was pretending to be a dog. *** Another funny thing he is pretending right now is that the kitchen is filled with "elevators," or as the rest of us know them, floor mats. He sits on them, pretends the elevator door closes, makes a humming noise, and then dings when he's arrived at a new floor. Of course, everyone else in the house plays elevator too.
7. Jason gets Food Drunk-a term that Isaac has coined for the boys after an extremely good meal, usually dinner, most likely the result of a carb overload.  Jason tends to start with a giggle and gets a glazed look in his eyes. Speech and movement becomes slow and slightly impaired until he is slumping over in his chair with a large grin on his face.  The simplest of things, such as a burp, will trigger a belly laugh that causes him to lose his breath.  This laughter usually results in a fit of hiccups which only perpetuates the belly laughter and causes Shawn to join the "inebriated" activity.  It makes for quite an "intoxicatingly" humorous scene.
