My Baby

My baby is not so much of a baby anymore.  Here are a couple of Jaxon's recent accomplishments:

Jaxon's hasn't had too much interest in riding his bike without training wheels, but we've been pushing him a little more lately and he is doing awesome.  I have a great video but it wouldn't upload.  Oh, well.  Matt said when he was helping him yesterday, Jaxon kept repeating to himself, "Face your fears, face your fears!"

 

Jaxon graduating from preschool was a huge accomplishment for him this year!  I've never really been "proud" of any of my kids for graduating preschool; it's usually just a cute milestone to remind me they are growing up.  But for Jaxon, it was a much bigger deal because he hated preschool all year.  He really struggled with peer relationships and for a while there he was getting into trouble often because of his behavior.  But his patient teachers and I worked together to come up with some solutions for him and he made it!  The latter end of the year he did so well getting along with his friends and staying out of trouble.  And I was truly proud of him on graduation day and so relieved that that chapter is OVER!!! Woohoo!

Along with his diploma, Jaxon received the "Class Joker" award.  His teachers said it was because he was always telling jokes and playing jokes on his friends.  The funny part was that right after he got his award and the next kid stood up, Jaxon moved the kid's chair behind him and scooted over so when the kid went to sit down, his chair was gone.  Jaxon does have a great sense of humor and keeps us laughing at home as well!
