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.

Because I have days where I seem to have it all together..the day runs a little smoother. Meaning the house is cleaned, the laundry is finished. Washed, folded, and actually hung up! I have 3 running notebooks at the present moment. One for daily/weekly/monthly to dos that holds appointments, important dates, phone numbers if i need to call anyone back...etc. The other is my "wedding planner". Contains everything wedding that is EEEK in a month! And I still have sooooo much to do! The other is for blogging ideas, recipes I find, things for the kids to do, upcoming projects i have noted and need to get started on. *sigh*
I am messy at times and really don't think things thru. Even when there is hot wax involved. I have a Scentsy burner and wanted to put a different scent in there and well...some got on the table on the floor and my foot. I was to embarrassed to put my foot on here...i need a pedi! :(
Play time with Jaxon was fun today. We played outside with the dog, his new football, his cars, his little tikes car, the dog water, some dirt, made some mud, and we were hot. Sweaty hot. I love his cheeks in this picture and the fact that he could go on for hours out there!
I watched a messy but good game of football Thursday night. It was the first game of the season and I hate to say my Saints were just all over the place. But they won and all is good. I am watching them make it to the Superbowl again this season. I have plans tonight here at home I need to start getting ready for. A few friends, cold beers, and a few games of pool will be played while all the kids play and laugh and fight and laugh some more. HAPPY FRIDAY!!
