It's been a long time since I have done an update on my Jax man. I have been keeping a list of funny hings he says/does and it has gotten WAY too long and I realized it's time to get this post written up.
The kid is definitely very funny. I laugh at him daily. He loves to make people laugh. He enjoys preschool but he still asks every morning "What day is it" and is always the most happy when I tell him its a "stay home" day. If I happen to tell him it's "church" day there is usually a small meltdown. I try to warn him Saturday night before he goes to bed so that he isn't too shocked in the morning. He can be so sweet and loving and I love when he tells me how much he loves me. It makes me very happy.
We are still struggling with his energy level, low patience and high frustration. I have been thinking about him and these issues a lot lately. I feel like his brain in on overload and wheels spinning constantly. If he is doing something he isn't supposed to and I try to talk to him about it it's hard to even get him to listen because his mind is already well past the issue and on to something else. I have talked to his preschool teacher and she said that his energy or "go, go, go" level is definitely much higher than other kids. She said he is obedient in doing his work but will do it as fast as he can so that he can get to the next activity. MOST of the time I don't feel like he tries to be naughty, he just is constantly in high gear. I have been thinking a lot about it this past week and talking with other parents and such to just see what we can do to help him and the situation. I feel like he would feel better if he could just slow down a little and give his brain a little rest. We are just starting to look into it though. I just want to help him be successful in school. I have seen the boys that struggle in Jade's classes and I don't want that for Jax. I am hoping we can help his as much as possible before he starts school next year.
Anyway, I love him to pieces. I love spending time with him each day. He can be so so sweet and I am so grateful we have him even if he does keep me on my toes!
"Join the awsomeness": Brandee ran errands with us one night and when she got out of the car I said "Thanks for joining the fun!" and Jax immediately said "Yeah....Join the awsomeness!"
Date to costa vida: Before Scott went hunting he had a lot of things he needed to do. Jadyn had a party she went to so I took Jax on a little date (Hads was with us too). We went to Costa Vida. The line was SUPER long but Jax wanted to wait and was so good in line! When we got our food we say down at the table and Jax moved his chair over to sit right next to me. He loved being on a date!
"Are we driving or walking": Jax had a field trip to the pumpkin patch. One day on the way to school he asked if we were driving or walking on his field trip. I told him that we were driving but that all the moms were going and he said " Oh good.....We Don't have room for all my classmates" It made me laugh
"That's adorable": This phrase just cracks me up when he says it
Put him self in timeout at school: One day when I went to pick Jax up his teacher stopped me and told me that they were playing and she didn't see him so she asked where Jax was and then found him in the corner. She asked what he was doing. He told her he had taken someones toy (I think it was that) and so he just put himself in time out! I had to laugh at that one. Glad he realized he made a bad choice! ;)
"I want to be a washer": One day he found some window cleaner and decided to start washing things. While he was on his second or third window he said "Mom, I want to be a washer when I am big!" It was funny and let me tell ya, he spent quite a bit of time washing that day!
Deer: The day after Scott got home from hunting Jax and I were alone in the care and we had this conversations: "I wish we had all boys in the family so we could keep the deer. Well I wish Sonic was in our family so he could cut the wood so fast you couldn't see him. If sonic was in our family it would be like Peso's (Octonauts show)family. Ya know....he has a lot of people in his family" Then the day after that, as we were driving alone again he said "I wish that Heavenly father would bring that deer back to life. It's so sad. Pinkie promise you never go hunting. You will not be safe. You don't know how to do the trigger" Whew...that hunting trip led to lots of thinking on his part!
King shirt: A few months ago we were hanging around after church and Jax wanted me to undo his shirt. Instead of changing he held it open and laughed and said "I'm a KING!!!" and started running around. I had no idea where he got the idea from but it was funny. Well, it has stuck and he LOVES to wear his king shirts. I think he would wear one everyday if I let him. It's quite hilarious!
Cory's baby: We were at my dad's house and one of my brother's friends stopped by with his kids. He had a two week old little boy and I held him for awhile. Jax came over by me and loved on the baby and said how cute he was and that he was so little! He was so cute with the baby. A few weeks later, while in the car (seems he does a lot of his thinking there) he said "Mom, remember that boy baby at grandpas house? I want one of those!" He would love a brother...poor kid isn't getting one!
Bath time: For some reason Jax always whines when I tell him it's bath time. He never wants to get in yet loves it once he is in there. Anyway, I told him that he needed to have a bath and he responded with "I took a bath last year. Of course I am good!"
Church: Like I said, church is not his favorite place to go. Jadyn and I were talking about church and Jadyn said her favorite thing about church was music time in primary. Jax was in his room and I hear him yelld down the hall "You wanna know my favorite part of church? The part where it's almost time to go home!!!!" I seriously laughed for a long time over that one!
"Haddie you are growin up.": We were walking out to the car one morning and Jax says " Haddie you are growin up! You're walkin and you're talkin." For some reason he just sounds so grown up when he said it
"Eeny meeny" and Secrets: Jax has a thing for packages in the mail. Well actually he just loves all mail and wants any garbage from the mail that I might throw away. But....he especially loves packages. Well a week ago there was a package on the porch....for Jade. I grabbed it and took it inside and then headed back out to the car. Jax started in on the package-wanting to know what it was, wanting to open it, wanting to just look at it. I told him no and that it was a Christmas present for Dad. Scott was sitting next to me in the car and Jax came up front and said "Just tell me what it is." I told him no because he would tell dad! He insisted there was NO way he would. So I made something up and whispered it into his ear. Scott started in right away with "Jax, just tell me. I am your favorite right? You should tell me!" We were having fun with him so I told him he absolutely could not tell. It was a secret. So Jax decides to break out "eeny meeny" to decide if he should tell or not. His eeny meeny went like this "eeny meeny miny mo, catch a tiger by the toe. If he hollars let him go my mom picked the bery best goodest and baddest one and it will not be you!" he pointed at me and said "Ok Dad, you win. It's a Razor!!!!" and just like that our fake secret was out! Good thing I already knew he isn't a very good secret keeper! We made him repeat the eeny meeny though because it was so darn funny!
Why he doesn't listen very well: I asked Jax while he wasn't listening very well lately to which he responded "My brain is crazy because I don't have an umbrella and it gets cold when it rains". Hmmm...well now I understand! ;)
Movie quotes: Jax picks up on a lot of lines in movies and then will use them throughout the day. The other day I realized that I sent Jade to school without breakfast (I had asked he several times to go down and eat). When I realized it I said outloud "Shoot!" Jax asked what was wrong and I said "I forgot to make sure Jade had breakfast" and Jax said "Well that's a major bummer!"
Ok, that is enough. The kid cracks me up! He is wild and crazy and overly hyper but he is so darn funny and I love that he still randomly says he loves me throughout the day and gives me loves. I love that he asks Hadley for "smooches" and wants to hold her (which she does not like). Love ya bud!
