A few months back, I posted an interview that I did with Tyler. I thought it would be fun to see how my 6-year-old would respond too, so here is Jayden's interview. I'm pretty sure the family talk we had last night about following house rules was still on his mind for the first few questions.
Jayden - 6 1/2 years old
What is something mommy always says to you?
Stop doing bad things.
What makes mommy happy?
Being good and quiet when she’s sleeping.

When I don’t do good things.
What does your mom do that makes you laugh?
When you tickle me sometimes, and when you say funny words to me. You do that sometimes.

Light blue.
Jayden loves his dad and likes to talk just like him. "Awesome" and "sweet" are some of his favorite expressions. It's no accident that Tim says these all the time too.
Jayden's also a very spiritual child. I often find him up reading his children's bible before anyone else in the house is up. He loves church and is always eager to lead family prayers. This year, we were able to take our boys to the Mesa temple for the Easter pageant. Jay absolutely loved it. Afterward, we took the boys into the visitor center. Jayden would have gladly stayed there for hours to watch every video and look at every display. Outside, Tim asked the boys if they wanted to go up and touch the temple. Jayden ran to the side of the building, wrapped his arms around it in a big hug and said, "I wish I could live in Heavenly Father's house!" It will be so special when we do get to go into the temple as a family next month. I'm excited to watch Jayden grow and to see the example he will be for his little brothers and his friends. We are so lucky to have him in our family!

What a cute boy you have! He is really impressive with his answers for his age. So cute. We are excited for you guys with the upcoming blessings you will receive from the temple. Thanks for sharing... you have such a sweet family!:)
Jayden's answers were so sweet. I especially love that he is proud of how hard you work. Glad he can appreciate all your work as a mother (hope he remembers that in his teenage years!).
So Cute!
