My great grandson, Justin Petersen is the oldest child of my grandson, Josh Petersen and his wife, Athena, three and soon-to-be four sons. Justin is also an Irish Twin with his younger brother Axel. They don’t know that, of course, but someday they will think it is a cool thing. That is also something the boys share with their grandma, my older daughter Corrie Petersen and her sister, their Aunty Amy Royce, who is my younger daughter, who are also Irish Twins. My girls always thought it was a fun thing to be Irish Twins.
Justin loves to look out the window and see what animals might be out there. He also wants to know what every sound is that goes on in the house or outside. He has excellent hearing, and often hears sounds before I do…odd, because I have excellent hearing too. He especially loves train sounds, and dinosaur sounds. He doesn’t like monsters, but doesn’t consider dinosaurs to be monsters…even though they growl. He doesn’t think of zombies as monsters either, which is totally odd, but there you have it. 
Justin is an energetic boy with a really sweet heart. He loves his mommy and daddy so much and doesn’t like to be away from them for very long. His brothers are his best friends. He really loves helping with their care…well, with Cristian’s care anyway. With Axel, its rowdy playtime. They climb on each other and wrestle around. They are “all boy” boys. But, when it comes to Cristian, Justin wants to be the helper. He likes to bring him toys and feed him his bottle, bring the diapers and wipes, and anything else his parents or grandparents might need to take care of the baby. Justin likes being the “helper big brother” very much…that and hugging Cristian.
Justin has a hilarious sense of humor and a laugh that is contagious. When he laughs, his brown eyes just light 
up. He always finds something to laugh about, and he is a big teaser. He is also a boy who loves to say, “I love you!!” and to give kisses to those he loves. I have been so blessed to be one of those people. Just yesterday he said, “GiGi, I love you so much!!” It melted my heart. I can’t believe how quickly the years have flown by. Today is Justin’s 3rd birthday. Happy 3rd birthday Justin!! Have a great day!! I love you so much!!
