I’ve made up a ridiculously long video of Jaxon and his obsession with Tim’s bike.

Well, that was what it started out as. Then I watched the clip and just didn’t want to cut it short. So you can watch the first minute or so and stop it if you like. OR, you can just watch it all and go “awwwwww” all the way through.

As I just said in my previous post, Jaxon is overly obsessed with Tim’s new bike. He really could have cared less about the green one but this red one must do it for him or something.

So now when Tim come’s or goes on the bike Jaxon runs to the front window to watch yelling out “Um um um” and if we open the garage door he rushes in there yelling out then too.If he see’s a photo of it he goes wacko too.

So this video shows it a little bit. But then this afternoon when I was transferring it across to vimeo Jaxon saw it and went even more berzerk! So I’ll add a video a bit later of the real “going crazy” and not the “I really should be in bed crazy”

Jaxon has just had a “Mummy Cut” in this video. I gave him a hair cut about three hours before this. Ever since his first cut, on the 11th of November 2007 (I don’t know why I remember that all the time) the hairdressers have been screwing up his hair. There would be cut marks through it where they had just chopped a straight line. The fringe would be crooked or there’d be really obvious short and long bits at the back. They could really screw it up. So I figured that if anyone was going to screw up my son’s chances of getting laid then it should be me and I’ve been giving him mummy cuts ever since. I do a pretty good job.

Watch this space…

I’ve never been big on video games so when Jaxon was just a few weeks old his Nanny and Poppy bought our household (cough cough, Tim) one of those XBOX things. They probably didn’t know it at the time, but I was really angry about it!

So this visit when they bought us a Wii thingee and a Wii Fit I was a little hesitant about it. I’d heard from all over that it’s heaps of fun. But maybe, just maybe, I thought those people were “geeks” and that me being a non video game playing kind of person would probably still think it sucked.

The main reason I really don’t like video games is that they’re not interactive. While one person plays the other watches and while one has fun the other sits and waits for their turn. Silently wishing that the other player would roll over and die so they didn’t have to share.

But that was 24 hours ago. Right this minute I say, RUN…don’t walk, to the nearest store and get yourself a Wii!!!

OMG the laughter! The fun! The heart rate! At one point I think Tim might have fainted. Right between when he caught his third hula hoop and got hit in the head by a flying shoe. It seriously ranks up there with one of the funniest things I have ever seen. And so much fun!

And as Jaxon is about to demonstrate, it’s interactive. Because not only do I want to beat Tim’s ass to a pulp in ten pin bowling, but I also want to see HIM making a fool out of himself too.

So anyone who doesn’t have one and has never intended to have video games in their home. Take it from someone whose last experience with video games was Atari’s Space Invader’s back in 1983…Wii is the bomb!

Go get one, you wont regret the purchase for a second!

As the days go by I will have more to say about this Wii thing and the In-Law visit. Stay Tuned!!

This is a project I have been working on for days. We’ve had the web cam operating for three days now trying to get just 24 hours. But the first night we had it on, the program that sequences the photo’s shut down and didn’t make my movie for me. The second morning the power went out and we didn’t get the sunrise. Then half way through day two Jaxon clicked my mouse and turned the web cam off. It’s taken a lot of work to get all of this put together.

I’ve cut a lot out. Time’s when we’re in the loungeroom or the back yard or the back of the house have been cut out because nothing is happening. The sunrise went for a lot longer and there was a bigger gap between when Tim left for work and I get up. This would have been about 20 minutes worth if I hadn’t.

I hope you enjoy it. This is approximately 20,000 photo’s. The web cam took a shot every three seconds.

• There are a few marital snogs that happen that you will miss because they happen so quickly. Tim also made a habit of groping my boobs, see if you can spot that!

• Jaxon really did have two baths. The first was because Tim hurt his back so I didn’t think we would go to the pool. But then we did so we had to bath Jaxon again.
