HAPPY BIRTHDAY AXTEN!!

Happy Birthday to my little "Punk"!! Axten is now 3 years old!!! How did that happen so fast?!?! I am amazed by him every single day. I'ved watched him grow from an adorable, happy, content, chunk of a baby - rolls & all - into an energetic toddler, running every which way, always at his big Bubbie's side. And if Haille's not in his eyesight, he always asks "where's Ha-Wee?" He's happy playing with his "Ma-yo" (Mario) or "BobBob" (Spongebob) on his PSP. He knows how to work Jason's blackberry to watch his favorite YouTube videos, and he knows how to navigate on the computer to play his favorite games. I'm telling you - this kid is SMART!! We cannot drive by a McD's without him yelling "DONALDS!!!!" (I think that's kinda sad - LOL) I think my favorite is when I'm cooking dinner, he will sit in front of the fridge and say to me "Co-here. Sit down." and pats the space beside him. He jumps in my lap and I ask him for letters, and he identifies them, and we sing a song for each one. I've been asking him this week if he's ready to start using the potty like a big boy... his response - a simple "no." Well, he doesn't have a choice!! We've got his big-boy underwear, so as soon as my year-end projects are wrapped up, I can focus my full attention on potty training him. Now all I need to get is a big stash of suckers - his favorite!!
