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!!!

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...

Where did September GO?!

My son was looking at the calendar the other day. Trying to count how many days to Halloween, he turns around and looks at me and says...."Where the heck did September GO?!" I laughed and said you are too young to worry about where the time is going! But yea I have no idea where it went. It seems like my post here lately is dwelling on where all the time went. Its definitely going by fast! And it doesn't help when every other post on Facebook is counting down to Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas! Geez people can we just get thru the first 6 weeks of school?! Speaking of school i have a a rant about the system. Or the lack there of anyway: I remember being disciplined in school. If I broke a rule I was sent to the office where my mom was already waiting for me. (Didn't help that she worked at my elementary school) but still. So not only did the principal lecture me about how talking in class and being disruptive was disrespectful, I had to get an ear full from...
