How does it look mom?
Last week Jaxson and I were decorating for Christmas, which he was so excited about. He has his very own Christmas tree in the family room that he gets to decorate all by himself, and he does such a wonderful job too! Since we have a tree in the living room that mommy gets to decorate the way she wants it we figured it would be fun to have a tree that the kids get to decorate, although Ella doesn't really get to help yet. Jaxson takes his tree decorating job very seriously, he had attempted to start decorating it before Ella went down for her nap, but Jax didn't think she was a very big help considering the fact that she would just take the decorations off as fast as he could put them on. After being patient with her for about 2 minutes he decided he had had enough and proceeded to go into full on temper tantrum mode, Ella decided she didn't want to be left out of the tantrum so she joined in. After I had finished laughing at the two of them on the floor throwing fits, I told Jax that he could just finish decorating the tree when Ella took her nap. When I took Ella upstairs to put her to sleep Jax said "FINALLY! Now I can get back to decorating my tree. Im gonna make it look beautiful!" He would put a few ornaments on the tree, stop and smile and say "how does it look mom?" I think he asked me this at least 10 times while he was decorating, everytime I would tell him it looked beautiful he would say "I know mom, im REALLY good at dis." He was worried that when his sister woke up she would try to take the decorations off the tree but to his amazement, and mine she has left them alone. Which is good because I dont want any more double temper tantrums.
