This afternoon Jaxon and I had to go and wait to see an ear, nose and throat doctor.
Jaxon is such a friendly, talkative kid that he’d made quite a few friends in there. He tell’s them all about the “new shoes” he has (the one’s we bought him back in January) and all about the rainbow he got to see today (the one he saw the day we went bowling) and all about how Daddy is at school.
He’s talking to this one lady about Daddy and he turns to me and he says “Mum…Dad at school??” and I say “Yes, Dad is at school practicing for exams ”
Then clear as day Jaxon repeats what he has heard. Only all he says is “Jam practice?”
The friends that he has made, and many of the various strangers that have been listening in on his conversations around the room all simultaneously erupt in to laughter. And it doesn’t stop when Jaxon continues on to say “got toast too Mum?”
Jaxon’s Nanny made him a rug.
This is what he does with it for some of the time.

The rest of the time it’s being lugged from room to room. He hides under it, he rolls on it. He sits on it. He loves it!
Thank you Nanny!
These past few weeks I’ve been getting in the habit of locking the car in the garage. Normally, we don’t do that. But for some reason, I’ve started doing it.
Perhaps it’s a gut feeling.
Perhaps it’s because I’ve seen those news reports where they tell us all about the three year old kid who took Mum and Dad’s car for a joy ride.
Perhaps, my son is just too clever. This is something I don’t need a lot of imagination for to see that Jaxon could be that child.
And it would be just my luck…to be THAT mother!
Jaxon is well and truly capable of going in to the garage undetected. He knows how to open the car. He knows what the keys do. He even knows how to open the garage door with the remote.
So yes. Now we lock the car and hide the keys away when we get home.
I’d rather my fifteen minutes of fame not come from Jaxon getting pulled over for speeding.
Here is Jaxon, making an attempt at hiding.
He may need some lesson’s no?

I just don’t know why I don’t post more often. I have so much to say. So many changes to our lives to report. And yet, I just can’t find the motivation to sit down and report them to you. Yet.
The biggest thing, would have to be the changes in Jaxon. Where once we had to report his physical abilities changing and growing…now we have his mental abilities changing and growing.
He really is becoming a little man. And he talks SO MUCH!
I mean…the boy NEVER shuts up.
There are so many things that he says these days that it get’s a bit hard to come here and write about just one thing. Without boring everyone with the simple details that make it all fit together.
Like the other day when Jaxon was sitting on the couch with Daddy and out of the blue asked “Sleep well Daddy?” and Daddy replies “Yeah I did. What about you Jaxon?” and Jaxon just nodded. He acted as if this was an every day kind of thing. To be having a back and forth with his Dad. But really, it was new to us and amazing!
I really should just get off my ass and come here to report this stuff more often. So I don’t forget about it in years to come. And I really should tell you about all of the other things happening in our lives too…like….nah. You can wait
