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.

It's a tradition of mine I made years ago to have my tree up on December 1st. Regardless of what is going on, it comes up! I have also been saying for the last 3 years that I am going to get a new tree. This one is 11 years old....it's time for an upgrade!
Jill and Jaxon helped arrange the lights and "fluff" the branches, as Jill called it. They had fun.
Jaxon was a huge help in making sure he messed up everything Jill was doing. All in all he did good. He has only messed with the tree a few times and has broken only one ornament. (so far) He loves Christmas. He likes the tree. He kisses his sock monkey ornament everyday. He has managed to rip all the name tags off the gifts. We have to say goodbye to the tree every morning as we are walking out the door. He will hate to see it go come the 31st. But a good memory was made this month.
