Cookie Monster

For those of you who may not know, Fig Newtons are a staple in my parents' house. Of course Jaxson became introduced to them at an early age and on one trip to the grocery store we passed by them as we were walking down the aisle and he shouted, "Grandpa cookies!" Hence, Fig Newtons are always called Grandpa Cookies now. Of course my dad brought a package of Grandpa cookies with him on their trip a few weekends ago, and here is Rachel enjoying her share of them.

The picture of Katie on top is just an update for everyone. She's getting so big!

Oh and as Jaxson was eating breakfast this morning he had to take a potty break. As he was getting down from the table he announced where he was going and said to me, "You're in charge!" It's so nice of him to delegate his authority.

Master of Semantics

Jaxson received a bucket of popcorn this past weekend from his Nana and Grandpa. You know the kind--caramel, regular, and cheese in a big tin. They were really giving it to him for the tin--John Deere themed. The popcorn inside was just a bonus. Well for some reason Jaxson calls it his Sloppy Popcorn. I'm not sure why.
Then today on the playground he was racing up the ladder saying, "You can't catch me, I'm a gingerbread house!" Except gingerbread sounded more like June-ger bread. It was cute. I told him I thought he meant gingerbread MAN but he insisted it was house.
The best for last--I buy the kids drinkable yogurt and Jaxson calls it drinking yogurt. This morning he didn't eat his breakfast, which is his choice, but nothing to eat until lunch. Later I caught him in the fridge with a bottle of the yogurt and I said, "Jaxson I told you nothing to eat until lunch." He immediately replied, "But this is drinking yogurt." I just couldn't spank him for it.
