A Whole Bunch of Stuff
Jaxson is turning out to be quite the child trainer. Rachel calls her pacifier her "night-night." This is something that Jaxson started when he was a baby because he only got it at nightime, and Rachel has the same policy. Well frequently in our house you will hear Rachel screeching, Jaxson running back to their room with Rachel in hot pursuit, and Jaxson saying, "No Rachel, night-nights are only for sleeping!"
Rachel is getting close to potty training so I've gotten out the potty chair and let her sit on it to let her get familiar with the concept. I've told Jaxson that if he helps Rachel go potty that he would get a treat too. The other day he got it out for her and helped her get on, and then he asked for a treat. I told him that Rachel actually had to go potty in order for him to get anything and that I didn't think she had to go then. Jaxson said, "Why don't you just squeeze her?"
The other day Jaxson had one of the placemats rolled up and came to me and said, "I have a message from the Lord!" He unfurled it and said, "It says we should go to Reid's house today!" Thanks, Veggietales.
Along the same lines, one day at lunch he was pinching off pieces of his hotdog bun and distributing it to the rest of us. When I asked him was he was doing he told me he was doing the Lord's Supper.
He seems to be napping less and less frequently these days and one day at naptime he was talking to himself. I opened the door to tell him to be quiet and he says, "If you want me to get up it's fine with me!"
One of the big things in our house is having a happy heart, and the way you can tell if someone has a happy heart is by the smile, or lack thereof, on their face. I recently told Jaxson to do something and he expressed his displeasure with a grimace. I told to have a happy heart and he gave me this puny little smile. I told him I wanted to see a big happy heart and he said, "I'm kinda lazy."
I cooked dinner on the grill one night last week and Jaxson asked to go outside. I told him he couldn't because the grill was not and I couldn't keep an eye on him. (He had just decided to BBQ and empty box two days before) He told me that it was okay and that he "would keep an eye on hiself."
Jaxsonisms:
wormaids--mermaids
cowboy sticks--pretzels
Aggie fruit--strawberries
pharisee--pharmacy
And now for Rachel:
Rachel loves to be a little mommy to Katie and her babydolls. The other day Rachel had a doll and said, "Baby..Katie" Then she slammed it on the ground and said, "Pow!" Yikes!
And a new feature, Rachelisms!:
geps--grapes
tae bo--play dough
Shine--Shawn (it's so cute to hear her wander the house calling Shine, Shine!
shoo me--smoothie
