Jeremiah contemplates taking over the world.
No, really! How could such a sweet boy want everyone to obey him?
Age: 5. Grade: Kindergarten.
| Jeremiah (also known as Jeremiaah) continues to be our most independent and demanding child. He is lord. But he's cute and funny, so we let him get away with it.
Jeremiah is really enjoying Kindergarten, which he often refers to as the First Grade (to annoy Jonah) or the Second Grade (to annoy simon). His teacher, Mrs. Burch, is very fond of Jerry and enjoys his input in class, claiming that he's a delightful child to be around. Various photographs confirmed that Mrs. Burch was referring to our Jeremiah. Jeremiah enjoys playing video games (well, until he needs help, in which case it's not very enjoyable), he likes playing with Star Wars toys and building things. He's very into fashion, hair styling and make up (see below). He is also our family's best colorer. And he's becoming a somewhat skilled acrobat, though anything over 35 feet in the air gets Daddy very nervous. It makes sense that Jerry would love death defying heights. Next to Jordan, he's the only one of our kids who enjoys the scary rides in Disneyworld, such as the "Rockin' Roller Toaster" and the "Tall Ride That Goes Up-and-Down." He also ran off by himself at the water park and threatened to take the 70-foot tall plunge by himself (and By God he was tall enough to do it!). Fortunately, Daddy found him again and all was well. |

Showing his deft skill at sword balancing.
"You think that's something, wait until I hit Jonah in the back of the head!"
Theatrical makeup techniques with felt-tip markers (Jonah, right). When they noticed our
calm reaction, they went back and touched things up. Marker, by the way, doesn't readily
come off. They had pink faces for about a week. And it's hard to notice in the photo, but
this is one of Jeremiah's self-modified hair cuts; a small lock of bang is missing in the middle.
Enjoying a blue drink in Disneyworld.
Jerry is wet here not from the water in the water park, but from the torrential downpour
that began just as we were finishing lunch.

| Jeremiah: Robert is not my middle name.
Daddy: It's not? Jeremiah: No. Daddy: What is your middle name, Jeremiah? Jeremiah: F*ck. (A pause.) Daddy: Faaack? Jeremiah: No, F*ck. Daddy: Oh. (Another pause.) Where did you get that name? Jeremiah: Star Wars. Daddy. Oh. Star Wars. Hmmm. I don't remember a Faaack in Star Wars. Which movie was he in? Jeremiah: (Angry) It's NOT from the movie. He's an action figure. F*ck. Daddy. Oh. So you're Jeremiah F*ck Gookin. Jeremiah: Yup. Here. (Shows Daddy the action figure. Daddy looks at the bottom to read the name.) Daddy: (Merrily.) Oh! I see know. It's Thock. You're name is Thock. Jeremiah: That's what I said. Jeremiah F*ck Gookin. Daddy: Okay. Thock. T-H. The "th" sound. Thock. That's nice. |
