Jax:

I ordered some PreK School activities for Jax this week from Legacy Learning Academy.

He has been so obsessed with everything. I love to see his little brain at work. Im already blown away at how well he is doing with everything I've given him.

Jax was so excited to see his little sister at the 3D ultrasound place. As part of the package, Jax got to pick a stuffed animal that had her heart beat it in. On our ride home we heard him telling Pooh Bear about his baby sisters heart beat and I looked back to see him giving them both a hug. 

Jax helped me put all his juice away in the fridge. It was cute to see him trying to put them away even though I had to fix it after. Im so proud of him for trying.

Jaxon

Mike brought home a kitten for Jaxon and me this week. He was being taken care of at a mechanics shop because them mom abandoned him. He is the sweetest little kitten and loves everyone in this family including our dog. Jaxon just adores him but won't stop picking him up even when we tell him to stop. Which leads me to Jaxon is horrible at listening. I'm not sure if it's just him turning 3 but he keeps getting in trouble because he will ignore what we tell him.

Jaxon and I went to a pumpkin patch this week with our friends. It was great to let him run around and pick out a pumpkin but he also was having a very hard time listening.

We decided that my awesome little Kia Soul would not work out with 2 kids since the single stroller took up the whole trunk. We ended up trading it in for a used Jeep Liberty, which I'm absolutely in love with. It's the limited addition so it has all the cool stuff. I'm just so happy it has room!

Jaxon:

Target now sells these cardboard cutouts where the kids can color on them and you can turn them into something. I got the car for Jax and he loved it. He didn't have the patients to color it all but he loved helping me put it together.

Mike was gone Thursday to Friday so Jaxon and I went outside with the monster trucks and played with our neighbors. He loves playing in the dirt with his trucks.

We are now finding out that 3s are the hardest age. It's draining and very emotional for me. He can be so sweet and then not want to listen and whine about everything.
