Merry Christmas!

Jaxon

Jaxon has given us two scares recently. First with a skull fracture and then stitches in his tongue. (both from falls -- he's okay now) He is such an adventurous kid. But sweet and loving too!

This is his costume from his Thanksgiving feast at preschool. They brought their favorite snack and ate it while they heard stories and wore costumes. They got to choose to be a Pilgrim or Indian. I asked him a couple of days ago which one he was going to be a pilgrim or an Indian, and he said, “A duck!” I thought maybe he meant a turkey… So when I picked him up I found out he had chosen to be an Indian and he named himself “Dancing Duck”

He says the kids’ names with Y’s, except for Jonah.. it's Yacey, Yaren, Yaxon, and Nonah.

The other day Jaren was standing in front of the TV and Jaxon couldn’t see. Jaxon all the sudden yells, “MOVE OUT!” It just sounded so funny even though it’s not very polite. I have tried to teach him to say, “Excuse me” or “Could you please move,” so we’ll keep working on it.

Another thing that he started saying a few months ago during his prayers was: Please bless Jesus to be good in Heaven. I didn’t know where he had learned it, and his nursery teacher told me that he has the sweetest prayers. I asked her if that was something she taught him and she said no. Then I was helping Jonah practice for his Primary Sacrament Program part and he was supposed to talk about when Jesus comes again. I was saying something about Jesus coming again and Jaxon got so excited and said, “Jesus is coming??” almost like he was coming to our house for dinner. I said yes he will come someday. Now he sometimes prays that Jesus will come someday and that we can go to heaven someday too.

And he always prays for the Nish-you-dairies (otherwise known as the missionaries)

The other morning I asked Joe to help me get something. Jaxon said, “I’ll do it!”
I said, "It’s up high, so you won’t be able to reach it. "
He replied, “Maybe we can work together. I’ll sit on Dad’s shoulders.”
So he did and they got the job done!

Jaxon loves wearing his hand-me-down cowboy boots. One day he had his boots on and we were on our way out the door. I asked him if he had put socks on, and he said yes. When we were driving in the car he said, "Actually, I put on my invisible socks , Mom." He still likes to wear his 'invisible socks' with his cowboy boots more often than not.

We Love You Jaxon!
