Melts My Heart

This little boy has been driving me CRAZY lately! He's definietly asserting his independence and testing the limit. Plus I think he is missing his friends from NM and Gymboree. We've never spent so much time together.

We are having growing pains.

I find myself being much less patient than I'd like to be. Today I lost it and yelled at him. A few minutes later I apologized for yelling (I'm not sure if I should have, but I want him to learn that it is ok to say your sorry) and he said, "It's ok. I think we need a break." Oh this kid cracks me up!! Makes me smile everytime.

Another thing that makes me smile...

When I find Jaxon quietly reading

I've caught him reading to himself a thousand times, but a thousand times I feel a tug on my heart. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside that he loves to read.

Jaxon Sings & Reads

Tonight I was able to capture Jaxon singing in the bathtub! He started with Twinkle Twinkle and then moved on to a few other songs. It is super cute!!

He also read Goodnight Gorilla to me before bed. It makes my heart so happy to hear him read this story. If you're wondering why he calls the Zookeeper's wife "Yoya" it's because when my dad read it him MONTHS ago he told Jax that the lady was Lola. So it has stuck.

The video is a bit long, but bear with it because the end is priceless! I have no earthly idea where what he said came from, but it was all I could do not to laugh.
