Generation Gap

Mommy brought some Babka home for the family tonight. Not a bad snack to have after dinner.

Of course Daddy had to keep making these outdated cultural references from some pre-historic show called "Seinfeld". Like I was supposed to understand humor from the Mid-90s. I might as well have had Papo over to make Smothers Brothers jokes.

Sorry Daddy. Dropping outdated pop culture jokes isn't going to make me think you are cool.

Face it Daddy, your time being cool ended when you turned 35!

Still doesn't mean you can't be fun though! -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

Love at Lil Kickers!

There was an issue last week where I reportedly hit a little girl. Honestly that is not my M.O.. Today I just wanted to hold her hand.

I am a loving Toddler, not a fighter! There is nothing that brings people together like a soccer ball. I don't understand my emotions that well but soccer is what brings people together all over the world.

Just saying . . . I don't know what kicking a ball around could eventually lead to. Flirtatious as usual. -Jaxon

Hurricane Sandy . . . Am I in Danger??!!?

Oh My! So sorry to hear that Hurricane Sandy is headed our way. Definitely concerned for all the people in the Mid-Atlantic states.

Hopefully it won't make it to Seattle! I'm not sure how close New York and Atlantic City are to where I live but I have seen the aftermath of a severe storm before.

I will go to bed uneasily tonight. With luck we live far enough away. -Jaxon

Picking the Perfect Pumpkin

I went to get ANOTHER Pumpkin today. Just like there are three people in our family we must have three Pumpkins. It was thus important that I pick the perfect one to round out my collection.

Since this Pumpkin would represent Daddy it needed to be large . . . but some were a bit too big. I mean it couldn't be so big that it blocked the entire porch.

Luckily I had Elmo along with me as a consultant. Just like buying a house or a car getting a pumpkin can be a big decision. It shouldn't be attempted on your own. -Jaxon

My Posse Has My Back!

I may not have brothers and the 4N Gang only gets together sporadically but it is good to know I have a crew watching my back. Would anyone mess with a Toddler with such diverse creatures as a Triceratops, a Giraffe and a Chimpanzee ready to go to bat for him.

Sometimes you just have to display your strength overtly so people know how powerful you actually are to the world.

I admit, these guys couldn't actually fight but if I bring them out every once in awhile I can at least demonstrate the possibility of strength through numbers. -Jaxon

Father Vs Son (Postponed)

Daddy's friend Pat got him tickets to the UW vs WWU basketball game tonight! Daddy is a Die Hard Western Washington Viking fan but as a future University of Washington Husky I was ready to cheer my team also!

Sadly, the whole event was canceled due to my coughing too much. Mommy didn't want me to exacerbate a fever. : ( Apparently there was concern about me making it through the first half. In the end it might have been for the best. As seen at Lil Kickers yesterday, I can be a very emotionally charged toddler when it comes to sports. God forbid I would hit Daddy over a sports rivalry yet! -Jaxon
