R-O-D-P-I-S

Every night we sing a song with Jaxon to help him learn to spell his first and last name. I figure for safety, and general intelligence, it's a good idea. So we took the song "BINGO" and turned it into-
"There was a boy who had a name and Jaxon was his name-o
J-A-X-O-N, J-A-X-O-N, J-A-X-O-N,
and Jaxon was his name-o."
He's got that one down pretty well, and only occasionally sings "J-A-N-O-N" to be silly. So a few nights ago we decided to start on our last name-
"There was a Jaxon who had a last name and Rogers was his last-name-o
"R-O-G-E-R-S, R-O-G-E-R-S, R-O-G-E-R-S, and Rogers was his last-name-o!
This one we have been singing for a while and he just joins in, but doesn't know all the letters to sing by himself yet. Well tonight he wanted to try it, and it started out pretty good, until the last spelling...then it turned into "Rodpis" and I think that's pretty funny.

PS- After more throwing up today we took him to the doc- Rx- getting over the croup, fluid in the lungs, and two ear infections.
So we are doing breathing treatments (AGAIN!) and some antibiotics....great...

Oh, what a great idea for helping kids learn how to spell their names!
And I think Janon Rodpis is a very nice name. Perhaps that could be his stage name.

I'm sorry to hear Jaxon is still suffering so.
We'll keep him and you in our prayers. Hope he gets better really soon.
Love you.

Yikes, I'm so sorry. That is no fun, especially for an active guy like Jaxon Rodpis.
