He's a part of the family now....

There is a new show that premiered Sept. 6 on PBS that I was stoked about. The Cat in the Hat Knows all about That! I just knew Jaxon would love it. Although I am against using TV as a babysitter and by the way I don't, it is OK that he has his 3 favorite shows and we have a DVR and I can spread them out thru the day. Between breakfast, our play time, lunch, naps, dancing, coloring, playing outside, dinner, more playing, and bath time...he has an hour and a half of TV a day...and they are all educational shows. Which I love as well. So he spent the first part of his morning checking out the new show. I wish I could lounge on the couch like this.

And this...this is how I spent the first part of my morning. I cleaned house and listened to Jaxon laugh and come in the kitchen to jibber and jabber about his new show. It was sweet.

When daddy came home he wanted to check out the new show with Jaxon. And this time Cat in the Hat joined in...you know...to watch his own show :)


He has always loved his Cat in the Hat. I bought it for him when I was pregnant. For his bookshelf. I am a huge fan of Dr. Seuss. And I am so happy he is now a part of our home for 30 minutes everyday. Although I have many quotes that I love by him, there are a few of my favorites that I can not decide on to put on Jaxons wall. Something that can stay on there till he is moved out on his own....O the places he will GO!!!
"Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive that is youer than you."
"From there to here, and here to there, funny things are everywhere."
"Don't cry because its over. Smile because it happened."
"If you never did, you should. These things are fun and fun is good."
"Be sure when you step, step with care and great tact and remember that life's a great balancing act. And will you succeed? Yes indeed Yes indeed! Ninety-eight and three-quarters percent."
"I like nonsense. It wakes up the braincells."
"Being crazy isn't enough."
"If things start happening, don't worry, don't stew, just go right along and you'll start happening too."

I do it

  Since he could talk he has had a certain Independence about him. "I do it". I loved it when his little voice would say those words. Even though he sometimes had no clue what he was doing. Or he wanted to lend a helping hand with me, I have always admired that he was a hands on learner .     Now that he is 4 he really doesn't need much help getting dressed. I still stay present just in case he needs my help. "I do it all by myself" are the words he says now. It makes me a little sad that he doesn't need me for everything now.     "I'm hungry" are words I hear alot from him. So I tell him find something to eat and I will help you make it. I let him put the snack ideas together. He can open the fridge. He can open the pantry. So he can grab whatever his little heart desires.     Here he is with minimal help from me making a peanut butter sandwich. "Watch me mom" are the words I hear when he does something a...

He's making a list....

The BIG TOY BOOKS arrived in the newspaper a few weeks ago. Let's just say he knows how to catalog shop! He knew what pages to go to that had toys for him. Anything Spiderman is topping his list right now. He will sit and watch the Spiderman movie and not move. Not the cartoon either...the movie with Toby Maguire. He would come across the pages that had the barbies and doll houses and anything pink and point at them and yell "JESSIE!!" So I am glad he knows what she likes because she changes her mind every 5 minutes. We will be shopping soon and from the very worn out toy book he has carried with him for the past few weeks now. He points at 3 things every time he opens the book from Wal-Mart...so i know he means business. And the 50" flat screen that he points at and yells "DAAAADDDY" well sorry for your luck son.

Brunch!

Jaxon was sick this week. Which meant some of the following: Sleepless nights for both of us. Cranky mood swings for both of us. Alot of medicine consumed by him. Not wanting to eat, again him ( i eat all the time!) Wanting to be held but not wanting to be touched, mostly all him but sometimes me (on the days i didn't get to shower :) Nothing seems to go right when you are sick. Then one of the mornings he woke up at 4am he had gone back to sleep about 7am and woke up again at 11am! HOORAY! I remember saying when I too woke up! We both got some sleep that day! Him still not being in the mood for anything to eat..i whipped up some pancakes for brunch and he ate 1 1/2! I was excited! Until that afternoon when another cranky mood swing set in and he didn't want to take a nap. Therefore I didn't get to take a nap. Plus we had both not gone anywhere for 3 days and I think we were getting a little stir crazy. Just my guess. Because as soon as daddy got home we hopped in the car....
