Jaxton's birthday party was last night!! Oh what a fun time. He wanted to send an invite to his entire class, so his teacher helped with that. I really did not think we would get too many kids, but we ended up with almost 25 kids (I lost count). Jaxton displayed so much confidence and joy at his party. His friends seem to really respect him and enjoy him. He had balloon games he came up with and everyone wanted to participate. He made announcements and the kids listened. I think it boosted his confidence a lot to have everyone support him so wholeheartedly yesterday. It was a little bit of chaos, but we did not lose any kids, and nobody had any accidents or incidents, so it truly was a success! Happy Birthday Jaxton! Here are 10 things about you on your 12th birthday:
1. Favorite food: still cereal. He will eat cereal for every meal if he could
2. Lactose intolerant? Jaxton thought he might be lactose intolerant for a while. Stomach aches every time he ate milk products. He was pretty diligent for a while there.
3. Hates haircuts. He got his first actual haircut at the barber shop 2 weeks ago. He did well. I think he enjoyed being pampered, but was not happy to learn that you have to tip your hairstylist. He hates getting haircuts at home, so it may be a new trend that he goes to Great Clips for hair cuts now :-)
4. Creating: Jaxton loves to create. He has amazing ideas and drive to create things. My job is to allow him to go, allow him to realize that creativity that he has inside of him. Lately he has been creating an online game with a software we downloaded for free. He creates his character, obstacles, lives, points, levels. It is really amazing what he is able to do!
5. Soccer: Jaxton still is a great soccer player. He enjoys the game, gets in the action, and enjoys being on a team. His favorite position is defense, and he is a great defender.
We love you Jaxton!! Happy Birthday!!
