My sweetie little nephews and niece! Part 5

Finally, Jesse is the baby of all my nephews. He is also Monica's youngest. Jesse is still a child in elementary school, and I'm sure there will be much more to share about him in the future.

When Monica was pregnant with Jesse, the doctors were not sure everything was alright. They told Monica there might be a chance that he might have down syndrome. I don't fully recall exactly what was the reason why the doctor had this concern, but of course it made Monica very nervous. With much prayer, Monica brought Jesse into the world, and he was completely healthy and normal!! He is bright and quick-witted and clever.

Like Julia, Jesse is the spoiled baby. Jesse adores his big brother Joshua; and because there is a six year difference between them, Jesse has always been smarter and learned things quicker than kids his age. He always wanted to do everything Joshua was doing. He is also a momma's boy.

Jesse is hyper and playful. He is likes to dance and listen to music. His laughter is contagious. He is strong-willed and determined. He enjoys getting attention, and is sensitive when he feels ignored or left out. He is considerate, and never wants to hurt any one's feelings. He is emotional and expressive, and whatever is on his mind at any given moment is easily apparent.

Last year, Monica had to travel to South America for a month because of an urgent family matter. I stayed at her house and took care of Josh and Jesse. I mostly needed to oversee Jesse, drop him off and pick him up from school, help with homework, and make sure he ate well. It was a great opportunity to spend time with him. He was mostly obedient and cooperative and sweet and very tender. It was like being a mommy for a while. Everyday I would pick him up from school characteristically blasting my music. He learned a few songs, namely "Low" by Flo Rida, and would sing along to them. It was so cute to hear his little voice singing to hiphop and rap. When Monica returned she exclaimed, "what have you done to my son?" Lol!

Jesse is an affectionate darling and a cutie-pie. Sometimes he can drive you crazy because of his stubborn ideas of the way he wants things; other times you wanna just smother him with hugs and kisses and just hold and protect him. I love you Jesse. I miss you and am glad you are my baby nephew. I had fun spending time with you last year and I am proud of the boy you are. You are blessing and a joy to your mother and to all of us.
