Apparently, he wouldn’t give her the book that he was reading.  Stubborn was her word of the week after we read it in one of Aesop’s fables.  Now, whenever someone won’t share with her, they are being stubborn.  However, she is the one who is, in fact, being stubborn in insisting that she needs everything everyone else has. 

A backseat conversation between Jaylyn and Jaxon.

“Buddy do you like your monkey blankie??” Jaylyn asks.

Dah!  (translated:  yes)

“Do you want your monkey blankie???”

Dah!

“Sorry!  We don’t have it!”

“Do you like your book?”

Dah!

“Do you like spankings, buddy???”

Dah!

“You do?”

Dah!

Silence for a few minutes.  Then:

“Buddy, do you understand????”

Noh………

Jaxon runs to my computer screaming “Bach Bach Bach!”  No he’s not a chicken; he wants to listen to Bach on my computer.  He may not know all his colors, but he is learning composers…….strange…..

Speaking of colors, to Jaxon everything is “geen!”  I think green must be his favorite color.  We’re working on blue and now he can say “boo,” but he still insists everything is green.  He’s now able to say “burble” and he tries to say orange.  Red and yellow are nonexistent. 

“Boo Boo!”  “Uh oh boo boo!”  Jaxon has become very dramatic about pretend boo boos and he finds them everywhere.  Whenever he finds them on someone else, he pronounces, “uh oh” and then proceeds to kiss the person’s boo boo.  He’s so sweet!

Yesterday, Jaylyn began having a meltdown.  She was in the living room screaming while Jaxon calmly watched her from his little blue chair.  As Jaylyn jumped up and down, she was able to get out, “I want the blue chair!”  Ohh, fighting over chairs.  I calmly explained that Jaylyn could sit in the red one.  “NOOOOOOOO”  Now we had an all-out tantrum on our hands.  When she finally began to calm down, she screamed, “I want the blue chair!  Whoever sits in the blue chair is the boss!  I want to be the boss but I’m not the boss right now!”  Wow!  I never expected anything so honest.
