LIES!

I was hanging out at my normal gathering spot today, the University Village Jungle Gym and got to witness some ugliness.  A boy about my age asked his Father (And I use that word loosely) if Dinosaurs existed.  His Father's answer: NO.

Though there is near unanimous agreement amongst paleontologists that Dinosaurs DID exist this isn't what made me mad.  I'm sure the Father knew they existed, he was just to lazy to go into an explanation of extinction.  Hey, life isn't always pretty, deal with it.

I was very disappointed to put it mildly.  How could a child grow-up in a house where Dinosaurs aren't talked about 100% of the time!

Disturbed.

Shopping For A Girl Is TOUGH!

I was off to a birthday for my friend Sophie today.  This was a very special birthday because my friendship with Sophie is special.  She is the first friend I have made away from my parents.  Mommy didn't even know who she was when I got the invitation to her Birthday.

That is why the gift had to be extra special.  If I am mature enough to make my own friends I should be mature enough to pick the correct present.

I'm SURE she would love a Velociraptor!

Or a life sized Lizard maybe!

Now I know why Daddy has it so tough shopping for Mommy.  He totally said my choices were unacceptable!

Daddy directed me to a section of the Toy Store I never knew even existed.  What can I say, I just never gravitated to it.

FYI this is the exact My Little Pony we bought.

Finally Got My Dumpling

The restaurants at the University Village have become a real hot ticket- It is impossible to get a seat.  I had been craving a dumpling from Din Tai Fung for weeks and today I got my chance with my two friends, Ian and Corbin.

It was great!  Not that many people were there for lunch so we were catered to the way three growing boys should be.  The dumplings just kept coming.

To show our appreciation we all decided to wrestle Mr. Dumpling to the ground.

I didn't see why our Moms felt the need to tear us away.  I wrestle Daddy every night -also as a sign of affection.

I guess there are just different standards outside of the house.

Some Excitement . . . That I Missed!

I am quite the regular at the University Village.  There are toy stores, sweet stores, play equipment and lots of other children.

Unfortunately, I wasn't there today for what was the most exciting day of the year!

Oh my!  I wish I could have a water main burst at my house!  It was like a giant sprinkler!

You don't see this kind of chaos everyday.  It was kind of like my preschool but with adults!

The entire University Village became a giant bathtub.  Oh to have been in the thick of it!

Where was I when all this excitement was going on?  

Napping!

Being well rested for dinner wasn't worth missing this action.

Escalator Action

Oh did I have a fun time at the University Village tonight! Now that I am not shackled by a stroller I can appreciate some of the finer things in life such as the Escalator!

Oh that thing was wonderful. I respected Daddy enough to hold his hand during the entire experience. I was just too excited to be difficult.

Now, I didn't just go up the thing once or twice. I literally forgot how many times I went up that thing! I just kept running back to the thing. I couldn't be held back! -Jaxon

My Third Halloween!

I have always loved Halloween. I love it so much that I even decided to be born earlier to squeeze in one more to my lifespan. Hey, it sounded way too fun of a Holiday to spend inside of Mommy. The first Halloween I was a immobile Chili Pepper. The second I was a subordinate Parrot with my Pirate Daddy. Today, I got to finally assert myself! Nothing says Alpha Male like a Knight!

Unfortunately, the over use of my Sword at the University Village Trick-or-Treat event forced Daddy to regulate. Apparently there are only so many strangers I am allowed to stab before I get it taken away. Well, it wasn't a total waste. I got to spend some time with my friend Bailey and got enough candy to last me a month. All and all not a total bust. -Jaxon

All the Answers in Life Come From Dinosaurs!

We went to the University Village today and I got a treat! Another book about Dinosaurs! Essentially this was a reward for me being good during our shopping trip.

The book I got, Dinosaur vs. Bedtime was a guide for how to deal with life using the philosophy of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. When diversity comes your way you just roar at the problem until you get your way.

Not a bad philosophy but it didn't work very well. My growling didn't stop me from being put down for my nap. I think it would help if I was a little larger.

Roar! -Jaxon
