Well between Birthdays and Play dates and hot and cold weather we have managed to stay well !! BUT we did have a close call at our Piggies & Paws Party... as we were mingling and enjoying some pumpkin bread I smelled smoke and immediately new one of my candles had either burned out or was burning something...UNFORTUNATELY it was burning something...the entire candle holder was in 2 foot flames in my kitchen!! Thank goodness for the kitchen counter TUNDRA fire extinguisher ( looks like a can of hairspray ) I was able to extinguish the fire in seconds...the culprit??....I had some fake acorns the candle was sitting on in the holder....the package they came in probably said "Flammable"!
Jaxton's newest quirk this month has been to continually say "I DON'T LIKE THAT" when he sees either men's facial hair or mannequins. Ross tried to grow his out this past week so Jaxton would "get over" this but it didn't work. Jaxton's reply to Ross was.." I don't like that...need to shave"....SO SANTA is OFF my list of things to do in December. We attended his friend William's 2nd birthday and Jaxton put his hands over his eyes every time he saw a dad with facial hair...geez!!!
BUT at least we haven't had any tantrums at naps anymore with the tickling....I decided to just sing him The Lord's Prayer and he has fallen asleep within minutes...I couldn't of asked for a better solution!
Grandad celebrated his 67th birthday and got alot of Texan stuff and tickets to a game and we ate yummy chocolate cake!
This weekend my mom and I took Jaxton down to the Galleria to see the lighting of the Christmas Tree. Supposedly my mom and dad took my sister and I every year...I probably can't recall it because of all the other places they took us to around the holidays! We were lucky and got a corner table at La Madeline looking right out to the tree. So we enjoyed a glass of wine while Jaxton ate dinner, read a book and tried to poke all the people passing by with his light stick....little stinker! He was getting antsy though cause they didn't light the tree until after the whole show was over and THEN I didn't know they were going to have FIREWORKS as the tree was lit up...and when Jaxton saw and heard these his little lower lip turned down and quivered and then came some tears and he said " GO BYE BYE"...so we were out of there like a flash!! SO FIREWORKS will be off my list for New Year's Eve too!!
