So we have a rule in our house that if Jaxson has a toy that he does not want Rachel to play with, then he needs to put it up after he's done playing with it. If he leaves it out and she finds it, she gets to play with it. Well he was playing with something of Shawn's and I told him to put it up. He said, "But he left it out where I could get it!" Nice try!

We've been dealing with the whole scared of the dark issue lately with Jaxson and we've told him that when he's scared he should pray that Jesus would keep him safe and help him to not be scared. This morning he said, "Jesus keeped me safe last night!" Just when I thought he was just so spiritual, Jaxson added, "And Batman too!"

Various Happenings

The other day Jaxson and Shawn were playing (as they so often do) and this time they were playing Hulk and Wolverine. Jaxson was the Hulk and Shawn was Wolverine, except Jaxson didn't say Wolverine, he said Wol-Marina. We love you Aunt Marina!

They kids received a foldable play tent from a friend yesterday and Jaxson and I were putting it away last night after much fun. I was trying to push it underneath Jaxson's bed but it wouldn't fit. After I unsuccessfully tried to resituate it Jaxson says, "That's as far as it's going to go, baby." I'm not sure where that came from.

Rachel has also proved to be a great communicator too. Last night I was sitting on the floor with my legs out in front of me. She came up to me, grabbed my toes, and then sat on the floor indian-style. As it turns out, she wanted me to sit indian-style so she could sit in my lap. I quickly got the hint and she was happy.

Then later on Shawn was playing with Katie and she started reaching for his Aggie ring. It was her first time to try and reach for something and of course it had to be something shiny and gold. That's my girl!
