A few fun spring pictures and a story about peeing!
So Jaxon often takes showers with either one of us because he’s a water rat and it’s a great way to get him to behave if it’s just one person home. I can’t imagine what the house would look like if I was alone with him and just went and took a shower, I don’t even want to think about it. A week or two ago he was standing in the shower and peed, this is not abnormal behavior. What was abnormal until that moment was his reaction. He noticed he was peeing and got a huge grin, then proceeded to turn in a circle hosing down the whole shower with a huge smile. The next week he would say “I pee mommy” or “I pee daddy” and then follow through by peeing on the foot of whoever was in the shower with him. Oh the what fun to be a little boy. I’d love go pee on him as revenge, but that’s not right, is it?
Jaxon and Wesley had a great easter weekend. Wesley was dressed up with a bunny outfit, not a crazy rabbit suite, but little ears and other easter themed stuff, I’ll get a picture up later. Jaxon didn’t go that route but got to meet the easter bunny, who was dancing so he danced too. There were a total of 3 easter egg or easter basket hunts for Jaxon. 1 at each grand parent’s house and one at ours. He got a lot of candy, toys, games, cards and had a good time with the searching. Some were inside, some were outside, all were fun. We now have a huge supply of matchbox cars to add to the already huge supply of match box cars. I don’t think you can ever have too many though.
Sunday we promised Jaxon a boat ride and the whole family went. Wesley slept through most of it, Jaxon got to hang out with the Tanner’s. Stan and I went riding and it was COLD, water was about 38, which hurt more than just felt cold. When one of us would fall, Nadine would stand up and point - that’s the spotters job. Jaxon would stay seated and yell “FAST” over and over until the rider was back up. They’re good at their jobs.Once we were done riding, my fingers didn’t feel cold, or feel that pins and needles sensation, they just hurt. Hurt like someone had smashed my fingers and toes wtih a hammer. It was still fantastic to get back out. Everything went really smooth minus a slight puddle because of a couple of ballast over flow hoses weren’t hooked up as fast as they should have been. It was a very succesful first time out!
Here are a few pictures to go with that statement.
On another note, the lake is mocking me. I sit here at home, busy, exhausted, staring out a an ice free glassly lake. The water has to be freezing as the ice was still there yesterday. I don’t have time to put the boat it, but even if I did, I’m too tired to ride. I have 2 weeks off and probably will be a mental mess because it’s going to be warm and glassy until I am rested and have another day off, then it’ll be cold and windy.Woohoo for spring! Sometimes, when Wesley is sleeping he makes a cluck that sounds like a chicken. He’s dreaming of boobies, I know it.
Wesley decided to finally make his way into the world on Sunday morning at 3:42am. He weighed in at 8lbs 3oz and was 20″ long at that time. He and Lexi are doing really well, eating, sleeping and filling diapers. We should be back home Tuesday afternoon but are hoping to get out sooner than that.
Jaxon did some leaf blowing and raking with me. We all sat down and made some easter cookies that didn’t make it even close to easter. The cats lounged.
So here are some spring pictures and videos from us to you.
Lexi and Jaxon at the Zoo. Sure she’s 9 months pregnant, due 6 days from the day this was taken, but when your son says “Go Fast” you had better go fast!
Jaxon on the new swingset, he seems to really enjoy it so far. First you take the choochoo up the ladder, then you send it down the slide, then you come down on your own.
