Mr. RailRoad Engineer

Other than towers and castles, you also love to line cars/boxes in a line, and say "Momma, Wook!! Choo Choo Train!"

Current Favourite Book

One which you do not tire of, and keep asking momma to read it to you, while trying to read along.

Brown Bear Brown Bear, What do you See?

Onward and Upward

Remember your little pool?

Well, you've graduated onto a bigger pool.

One with a SLIDE!

At first, you would carefully climb up the steps with our help,





but it didn't take very long before you were climbing up the steps by yourself ( with momma right by your side, of course ), and sliding down on your tummy, even! :)

Good Old Fashioned Sink Bath

By the way, in the last post, where you were building a tower, you kept saying, "Mama, look, CASTLE!" :)

We don't have a big house with big implements, and so you never quite got the whole "Sink Bath" experience when you were much littler.

Last Letti Thursday, Cindy thought she would save Mama from having to give you a bath when we got home, so she gave you one right there in Grandad's kitchen!

Hair Raising

Your daddy calls this your "Elvis" hair

You even have them pouty lips down. :)

A Day in the Life

Little Boys love their cars and trucks.

Many a time, they lay them out to form a Conga Line..






and sometimes orchestrate Beast Wars standoffs with squeaky bath animals.






At a glance, this scene looks pretty copacetic.





Upon closer inspection, it appears to be the grisly scene of "Death by Impalement"




THIS has been happening at least a couple of times a day for the past week or so, and has been the source of much raised blood pressures and countings of 1 till 20 under one's breath.





Today, I was replenishing the toilet paper in the bathrooms and turned around to find 2 missing. When I get into the study, I see this scene,




followed by

Little Boy whilst pointing at toilet paper rolls and notebook :
"Mama! Eye, Eye, Nose!!!"

followed by the presentation of another example of the aforementioned eye eye nose combination of random things around the room...

Language

It's interesting to follow how your speech/vocabulary progresses with time.

One of the examples is that you used to say "Bye Bye DI", with the "DI" following the "Bye Bye" without fail. For some time now, you have dropped the "DI", and at times, even say "Good Bye".

You also often surprise me by saying new words ( as well as longer sentences ) all the time.

Another word you used was "Shee You" for "Crayon".
Yesterday, we had been coloring with some crayons. This morning, I wake up to find the pink crayon missing.

Mama : "Jaxon, do you know where the pink crayon is?"
Jaxon : "Oh, Pink Shay Yon, Ah AAAARRR yooooo?" ( Oh, Pink Crayon, Where ARE you?? )

Today we were at Mamo's house for Mother's Day as well as Mike's birthday, and Baby Jet wasn't too happy about something, and started whimpering. You looked back at Jet, and said, "Mama, baby crying!"

You already know your alphabets, a bunch of colours, numbers from 1 - 10 and love to try and sing along to some simple rhymes or songs from Dora the Explorer. Your favourite at the moment is the ABC Song.. You will try to sing the alphabets in order, and then go "Now I.. ABC, ah, ME!!!!!"

I'll try to get more examples down as I think of them.. Right now, I'm ready for bed. Love you, little boy. *kiss*

The Zebra Pony revisited

Remember when you had a lot of fun with the Zebra Pony?

Well, we put it away shortly after that, and brought it out again a couple of weeks ago.

You were totally loving it, and discovering new ways of just bouncing the heck out of the thing :)

Look, Ma, No Hands!




And, the dismount.

A Keen Eye

This was amazing on several levels.

The other day, you looked over beside the dinner table ( where we have apples/oranges etc out ), and said, "Theta!Ho Ho Ho!"

For one thing, you've always only known Santa ( You call Santa, "Theta" ) in this form,

and for another thing, all you could see of THIS Santa, which was hidden behind the aforementioned fruit, was THIS.

PLUS, even if you had seen the whole figurine, it's a Cowboy Santa, and looks like THIS.

I guess anyone in any red hat and has a huge white beard must be Santa, then :)

And last of all, WE have never said anything about Santa going "Ho Ho Ho" ever before!

I'm thinking you got that one from THIS
