sleeping

Axel fell asleep tonight with his balloon in his hand. He has been sleeping with it for about 2 hours now. I cannot stop laughing!

Photos

It took a while but we finally got a few good shots of Axel. 3 trips to the photo studio and more money than we needed to spend. But, heck - he is only 3 once!

Axel went to see Santa at the mall this last week. He was SO excited. Then he had to "go pee" when he was next in line. Classic. Matt and Axel ran off to the restroom while I held his place in line. When they got back Axel got to see Santa and told him "I want 5 things, because
I pooped in the potty". Ahhhh, that is one for the record books.

Fall is here!

Axel looking through the toy book for Christmas gift ideas. Yes, it does start that early!

I made a car out of the box we had. It needs some work!

Leaves!

On our way into the Eastern Game.

October!

He insisted that he had to be SPIDERMAN for Halloween.... He has already broken in the costume.

He is very nervous about sticky his hand in the pumkin.....

He was not very happy about it!

In one day this basket was a hang-glider (above) - bed for Leo - Foot Cast - Catchers Mask - shooting helmet - and many more I cannot even remember.

3 year old conversations

Axel talks - a LOT.

Here are a few snippets:

Heading into the Baseball game. Fireworks go off. Axel "Mom that just scared jesus out of me!" (ie. that scared the bejesus out of me).

Random Stranger: Where does your Daddy work? Axel "In the parking garage!"

Axel trying to get out of going to bed. "Mommy, your son is very sad. You should come in here".

Me picking up legos. Axle "Hey Mom, do you need a hand?". Why yes, yes I do.
