Conversations with a 3 year old

Conversations with Jaxson and little comments he makes are so funny…I just can’t pass up the chance to write these down so we don’t forget them. Here’s some of the good ones from over the last few weeks:

• While at a wedding a few weeks ago Jaxson leans over to Scott and says “Daddy who is that guy up there on the cross”, to which Scott responded “That’s Jesus” and Jaxson with a confused face says “No Daddy Jesus is a baby”

• Jaxson is so good about saying Thank You, your welcome, he’ll randomly give you a I Love You or walk over just to give you a kiss- all of these sweet gestures he understands and is quick to remind you if you forgot to say thank you or your welcome. Well last night he’s brushing his teeth and stops and says “Mommy you’re so beautiful”. OH melt my heart! He seriously is the sweetest thing ever!

• Everything to Jaxson is “tomorrow”, we’ll be getting a book together to read before we go to bed and he’ll say “no we read that book tomorrow” or he’ll be telling us about something that happened at school and say that it happened “tomorrow”. It’s so easy to get him confused if you try to correct him- in his mind its tomorrow and that’s the end of it!

• Jaxson goes grocery shopping with me every weekend, it’s our thing to go right after church together. Well one weekend we get to the car to unload the groceries and the shopping cart starts to roll away with him in it- I grabbed it and said “oh no you almost went away” to which he responded “Mom I’m never alone God is always with me, and he’s always with you too”. I love that he knows that!

• Every night before he goes to bed he gets a bowl of a few pickles- he IS the pickle monster…really anything with salt is his favorite but pickles are the top of that list. So I walk in the kitchen to get a glass of juice and Jaxson says “Is Bailey thirsty”

• Jaxson is all about what’s happening next- if I pick him up from school and we’re going home he wants to know what’s next and then what and then what…its non-stop. And if you have no plan…its like the end of the world! Well yesterday we were talking about birthdays and listing off all of the birthdays through the rest of the year- we ended with it being Jesus’ birthday. This was a new one to him, which led to a lot of interesting questions we weren’t exactly prepared for. The greatest one was “Will Jesus come down to blow out his candles for his birthday”.
