Jaxon Says...

There's just not enough time in the day. Period.
That being said, I am seriously slacking on blogging, but it's pretty far down the list right now. We are mostly caught up, sleep-wise, from our various trips...well...except for Jaxon. He has vacillated between angel and devil this week. When he's good, he great. And when he's bad...watch out.
Anyway, maybe I am just finding his new little sayings particularly cute this week because I was away from him, but I wish I had written down half of what he has said, but here are the few I remember-

1. His Preschool teacher came over yesterday for our "parent teacher conference" and Jaxon was in heaven. He showed her all around, including the garden, and then helped her pick all the cherry tomatoes to take home with her. While they were squatting down together picking Jaxon, totally out of the blue said, "You know Mrs. Rochelle, I'm not a huge fan of Tomatoes. In fact, I HATE THEM!"
Sometimes with a vocabulary like his, it's hard to remember that he doesn't have the reasoning skills to match.

2. A couple day ago he was gassy... that's what we say at our house...I can't stand the "F" word...so we use various forms of the word gas...ie "are you Gassy?" "Did you do gassys?" or "I gassed." Anyway, J was gassy and just kept saying, "I gassed!" over and over again everytime he would putt-putt. So I said, "Jaxon, it's not very polite to tell everyone everytime you have gas. You can just say, 'excuse me' instead." to which Jaxon said, "MOM! That's not being honest! Jesus would tell the truth and say that he had gas, and not just say 'excuse me' because that's not telling all the truth."
What exactly does a parent say to that? (IF your answer is hide your head under the blanket so he doesn't see you laugh, then we agree!)

3. Tonight on the way home from extended family dinner Jaxon was a nightmare. He was pretty much hysterical the whole time. At one point I was trying to calm him down and said, "Jaxon buddy. You're a better boy than this!" He said (While sobbing), "I know! I don't know what to do! There's just these naughty things inside my body and they just come out and I can't help it!" (I thought that was pretty funny but was not going to let him get off that easy..) I said, "No Jaxon. Inside your body is your spirit from Heavenly Father, and it's righteous." He said, "Where well do all these naughty things come from then???"

4. This one was tonight at bedtime. I was impressed with his reasoning skills, and amused by everything else. Right in the middle of reading scriptures, he says, "HEY! Did you know...there is a pair, like a pair of socks. Then there is a pear, like a pear you eat. Two kinds of pears! Did you know that???" Dave said, "Wow Jaxon! You're really smart. Did someone tell you that?" Jaxon said, "Jesus Christ told me...in my heart."
