You win some, you lose some.

This is an exerpt from a weekly email I get from Babycenter talking about the average progress of a toddler Jaxon's age...

"The typical young preschooler picks up new words every single day and will soon be able to string them together in sentences from two to four words long."

This is what Jaxon said to Dave and I last night at dinner...(you can't say the kid doesn't think things through...)
(this monologue is about a 3-tiered dessert server that is on our kitchen table at the moment)

"Mom- dis is made out in glass? If I knockee over, it would break and it would hurt me?...and I might bleed, and I would cry and cry?...you would be mad and angry at me...and I would have-a go to time out? Daddy would have-a keen it up?"

On the flip side, Jaxon is still falling down A LOT, and walking on his tip-toes A LOT. We are pretty sure he has a condition called "toe walking" which isn't too serious, but does need to be corrected. He has an appointment in two weeks with an Orthopedic specialist, and also a physical therapy evaluation. Please pray that whatever it is, there is a way to help make it better!

Jaxon is brilliant.
I am always amazed and impressed with his conversations.
I can't wait to chat with him (and you).

Memories Comment:
I was so excited to meet you. The more I know you, the more happy I am that I know you. You rock.
I think one of the first memories that popped into my head was of the time we were all staying at your parent's Provo place for Kim & Dustin's wedding.
Serious good times.
Even the botched (due to my stubborness) tutorial of curling with the straightener. You were and are so awesome. I love you.

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving.

Interesting, "toe walking". Dylon has started early with that one. We don't have the falling down problem though, he just walks into things...walls, tables, chairs, etc!

I'm back onto the blogs again! The party cut me off on 11/26 and I am just getting back on today and loving it. Your new title page is wonderful and I miss how fast Jaxon is growing--Love, Mom
