Jaden has become quite the communicator. He says things that just floor me and Brad. We just have to sit back and laugh. Here are some of those stories.....It was about 8:00 at night and Jaden was watching cartoons on our bed. Without shutting the TV off, I grabbed him and we did the bedtime thing. I shut his door and went downstairs. One and a half hours later Brad came home and said, "Where is Jaden?" I said, "He should be in bed." So I went to look for him and the little stinker had snuck out of his bed and was watching TV in our room for almost 2 hours. So I proceed to put him back in bed. About ten minutes later I hear a pitter patter on the floor, so I go upstairs and he ran out to the kitchen, got himself a bagel and ran back to bed before I got upstairs. I guess he was hungry! Brad and I had to laugh because he is so sneaky.
Jaden was at Grandmas house with Sammy and Colby and they had all the lights off downstairs. They would grab their flashlights and go downstairs to look for monsters and ghosts. They would scare themselves and run back upstairs and Jaden would yell, "Monsters, Ghosts!" Sammy and Colby would scare each other and Jaden wouldn't dare go as far as his cousins because it was too scary. So after that experience he loves to grab his binoculars, look out the window and say, "I see monsters, hurry get down." So he gets down on all fours and "hides" from the monsters. It is pretty cute!
The other day I accidentally scratched his face, he looked at me and said, "Say sorry Mom!" Like, Hello Mom, what are you thinking. So I said sorry, and then he said, "It's okay mom!" He is getting quite the mouth on him! He has learned the "Shut Up" word and we are having to deal with that one already. He is like a sponge and now more than ever Brad and I are having to watch what we say.
Out in our front yard there is a pheasant(rooster) and some hens that run around. Jaden loves to look for them.Jaden loves doing anything with his Daddy. Since Daddy loves hunting so much we taught him all of the animal sounds including an elk, (which is so cute to hear). The first time he had ever seen the rooster, the first thing that he said was, "I need my gun!" Brad and I just about had a heart attack! It was hilarious.
Jaden can speak spanish from watching Diego and Dora! He loves Diego. He can say, "ayudame" which is help me, he can say "sube" which is climb, and he can say "arescate" ( I don't know how to spell it, but bear with me) which means rescuer. He can say a few numbers in spanish as well. He is such a smart little guy!
Alyxis has become little miss destructo. I can not leave the toilet paper on the dispenser because she unrolls the whole entire roll and then leaves. She likes to make the mess, but not be in it! She is always in the toilet, because she has a brother, so we are constantly having to shut the bathroom door. Lyxi can not leave my plant alone. All of the leaves are completely gone on the bottom half. We had to move the plant. Lyxi has quite the little attitude already. She throws her little fits and then is fine. She can not stand it when Jaden gets too close to her. Jaden just tries to love her a little too much. So she always bats him away when he gets close.
Lyxi is just now getting teeth and she is two weeks away from being one year old. She is pretty good about gumming everything, it just has to be in small pieces. So now she had her two bottom teeth, Yeah!!
***Some things I have learned from my bay girl*****
Life should be relaxed and mellow, slow down.
A smile can brighten any ones day.
Everything is better with food :)
It is fun to be girly, wear bows, and do hair (even though she only has a little to work with).
A mothers love is unconditional!
