No Mommy. Daxy do it.

I hear this phrase at least 20 times a day, no exaggeration. Dax has to do everything himself. For some reason, he calls himself Daxy. The other day, we were out shopping and it was raining. I hurried and put him in the car- not in his seat- so that I could hurry and get Ali out of the rain. I buckled her in and went around to do him. While I was walking around the car, he climbed up into the drivers seat. So I went around to get him. He had a total melt down because I wouldn't let him drive home. No, Mommy. Daxy do it. Daxy drive. Kay Mommy? I can't even hold his hand in the store because he thinks he is too big. He cowers away from me like I am going to hit him when I try to hold his hand. It's kind of embarrassing because he really acts like I am going to hit him! What a silly boy.

Here are some other things about Daxton, just because I feel like I write a lot about Ali and not as much about him:

-He went through a phase where he couldn't eat anything from a bowl or plate. Everything had to be poured out. One day, I went to the living room and he had gotten a box of cereal and poured the whole thing on the carpet.
-He really loves his daddy and thinks he is just like him. He also loves our dog- really any dog or animal.
-He is a total boy. He loves anything with wheels, his skateboard, his tools, and all sports. Josh is so proud because he can already hit a ball "live arm" (without a tee)

-He loves his blue baseball "binkie" I've washed it so many times it's getting threadbare. This picture was a few months ago when he still had his binky. He also usually has to sleep with some cars or a bat.

-Instead of throwing tantrums, if Daxton is mad about something, he just stands frozen in time with a blank look on his face. Then all of a sudden, he will fall to the floor and just lay there. Nothing affects him during this. You can talk to him and he will act like you aren't even there.

-He always has to wear a hat. It's how we 'do' his hair. We had trouble because he wanted to wear flowers and bows in his hair like Ali. So now he gets to wear a hat like daddy. He thinks its cool and 'awescum".
