Jimmy showing us his Michael Jackson moves!
It's hard to believe that 23 years have passed since Jimmy was born. And WOW, what a ride it's been! Jimmy has been an inspiration to me his entire life.
As I watched him try to do the simplest things like learn how to jump, I was reminded that there are so many things that come naturally for others but Jimmy has to really try hard to succeed at! And he tries hard! I still remember that day he learned how to jump. After jumping on a mini trampoline several hundred times and lifting him up in the air, it was Elmo that finally got Jimmy excited enough to jump! Jimmy was three years old and watching Sesame Street. He was standing behind his little table which he had pushed over to the TV. He had each hand on the table as he watched Sesame Street. Then Elmo came on and Jimmy got so excited that he jumped up and down! Then I jumped up and down, screaming, "You did it!" He jumped a few more times again, while I had tears in my eyes and excitement in my heart! I was so proud of him!
Jimmy I love you for all that you are! You are my Hero and my Inspiration!
Happy Birthday Buddy!!:)
Happy Birthday, Jimmy! You are blessed, Amy. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness I love this story! It took Cooper until he was 3 1/2 to jump with both feet off of the floor! It was The Wiggles for him but I love that the storyline is the same for both of our boys! Happy Birthday Jimmy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post! Your story about brought tears to my eyes (and that takes a lot!) - I can see you and Jimmy learning to jump together! Wonderful pictures - I love the one where Jimmy is kissing Caleb's neck! Priceless!
ReplyDeleteYou are blessed, my friend. :o)

Happy Birthday Jimmy! You are also an inspiration to me, even though you don't know me. I hope my little girls will grow up to be as successful as you!

Happy Birthday Jimmy! Thanks for sharing your jumping story Amy. I can so relate to your excitement. Mary Ellen
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe he is 23 already. I remember being there (at the hospital the day he was born) When the nurse brought him into the nursery right after his birth and showed him to your mom and I, he was so beautiful and he still is. You have been a great mom not only to him but all 4 of your boys, they are lucky to have you. Love you all, Aunt Sandy
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Jimmy! Love the pictures. :) You have the same birthday as my little Abby! She turned 3 yesterday! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amy, for sharing your family stories... its an inspiration to so many of us. :)
Happy Birthday Jimmy! 20 years of jumping, but 23 years of jumping into the hearts of those who are blessed enough to know you (or at least share in your stories). Thank you!
