Jaxon....

This little dinosaur is getting all ready to be a big brother! He is about 50% potty trained.... he does really well at home... at least with the peeing. The "other" you really never know. BUT... this is a BIG BUT... he is not good when we are out places. Even at grandparents houses and stuff.  He just forgets to tell me, refuses to tell me, is having to much fun to pay attention, or doesn't realize that pottys do exist outside of our home! I haven't figured out which is the main problem. If I take him, he will usually try to go some, but he rarely stays dry when we are out and about. UGH. Have I mentioned how much I hate potty training? So he wears pull ups. I know.... everyone warned me that they are just expensive diapers.. but he actually has done really well in them at home. But it's because when he has a pull up on, I leave him alone... and he will tell me on his own when he needs to go. If he has undies on, I am a gnat buzzing around him making sure he doesn't pee on my couch, or bed, or floor. It's just the in public thing we need to work on. What do I do? Take him out in undies and let him have a big accident somewhere to get through to him? Put undies on UNDER the pullup... so he has the "uh-oh I'm really not dry anymore" realization? Anyways.... enough about potty training. I am not the first, or that last to struggle with it. One day... one day...
What else is new with our Jaxon... he has been in a big boy bed for a while now. And LOVES LOVES LOVES it!! I gotta get pictures up of his cute room. From day 1, he has not given us one issue about the bed. In fact, (grandparents can't believe this) he NEVER gets out of it. In the morning and after his nap, he waits in his bed until we come in and get him out. He can climb in and out just fine, but doesn't. And I am not complaining. I know he wakes up before 7:30-8-ish in the mornings... but he doesn't come out until we go get him. I kinda love it... :)
His preschool ends in 2 weeks, he is going to miss it so much this summer. He seriously loves it!! As soon as we pull in the parking lot he gets sooooo excited and starts saying "My friends!! I go play with my friends! Bye mama... I go to school." Such a big boy.

 Mothers day kisses!

He has really become a sweetie lately. Lots of hugs, kisses, and cuddles! They make my day! There is not much room left in my lap, but he finds a way to snuggle in, which usually involves using my big ol' belly as a pillow or arm rest.
Literally EVERY DAY he asks to go outside to "play hoops". There is a basketball court just around the corner from where we live that he wants to go to constantly. The funny thing is, he only shoots the ball a handful of times, then he wants us to shoot the ball. He would rather chase it. Then after a few minutes of that... he just wants to run around with the ball, playing his own silly game of some sort. So, being my lazy, super preggo self, I bring a chair and let him play and play. :)
