When Jonathan was small he had two remote control cars. We had Willie Paul over to play with him. When they got tired of playing with the remote control cars they would play boats in the tub. Inside the boats they had spiderman riding inside the boats.

When Jonathan was three years old he had two horses, one rocking horse and another one that had springs. He and Christopher would play cowboys and Indians on them. They were fun to watch. They would also let Jumbo, the house dog, be the Indian, and they would capture the Indian and tie him up.

We didn't live very far from his grandparents' house. One minute he might be playing at the playground, and the next minute he'd be gone. When he'd run away I'd panic. Then I'd run around looking for him. But he would be at my parents house safe and sound.

When he was five years old he used to travel around by boat with my parents. Almost every time his grandpa went out hunting Jonathan would go out with them. Sometimes they would be back after it got dark out. Once he told me how his Uppa shot a bear. He even told me that the bear growled loud after his Uppa shot it. Jonathan told me that same evening that he'd be a good hunter just like his Uppa when he got big.
