Jameson's Childhood

Jameson was, and continues to be, an extraordinary child. Never have I met anyone so intelligent. He loved flash cards and playing cards of all sorts. He enjoyed large collections of small items, so he could count them and line them in strategic order. He had a fascination and knack for numbers from an early age.

He was always a picky eater and hesitated to try anything new. He loved McDonald's french fries when he was a toddler, and referred to them as "bries". Whenever we would pass a McDonald's, he would point to the golden arches and say, "I deed bries!" (I need fries)

Jameson loved game shows and playing poker. He would get on the computer and enter poker rooms on my gaming sites. He would play against - and beat - adults!

Jameson was reading by age three. Upon entering kindergarten, he was reading on a third grade level. Surprisingly, however, Jameson doesn't like to read. He loves numbers and stats and facts of all kinds.

He always did exceptionally well in school. He never got a grade lower than a B. His memory is impeccable for anything he's ever learned. He can add numbers in his head.

When he was eight, Jameson took an interest in sports. He loved all of it - football, basketball, hockey, soccer, auto racing... but he especially loved baseball. At the age of ten, he started playing little league. Until his illness, he had dreams of a career in professional sports.
