Axton and his Stitches!

I had my first experience with a call to work to pick Axton up because he needed stitches. At Amanda's he was playing in a pop up tent where a plastic toy was broken and as Axton was getting out he scraped his knee on the broken toy. It was cut wide open, but she said he didn't even really cry. I took him to All Children's Clinic where he saw Dr, Verma. They had to put him in something that looked like a straight jacket (scary scary). He got three stitches and it wasn't pleasant. Afterwards they gave him a Popsicle and he fell asleep with it in his mouth. I felt so bad for my little man, but he is tough and handled it pretty well. The day after getting his stitches two of them popped out!! Amanda called me to pick him up, so off we went. This time we did not replace the stitches because to much time had passed. We cleaned it with peroxide and Neosporin. Wednesday, April 3 we got his last stitch out. He screamed at the sight of the room, louder when he saw the nurses, and crawled up my neck when Dr. Verma came in. He will have an ugly scar, but it makes for a good story. Luckily he has a great babysitter that doesn't panic and knows me well enough to know how to not make me panic :). All is well now and hopefully no more stitches haha!

Happy Birthday Axton!

Three years ago tomorrow, Axton was born! I thank God everyday for this blessing. Being a parent has shown me true love and taught me true patience. Right now he is 32.2 pounds and 3 ft 3 inches tall. Axton just started playing t-ball and I am sure that he is left handed. He absolutely loves all of the heroes including Spiderman, Batman, The Hulk, Captain America, and Heman. He likes to imitate the characters and tell me all the details about their huge muscles. His favorite riding toy is his tricycle and John Deer Tractor. His favorite foods are pizza, chicken, cereal, peppers, fruit, chocolate, chips, and moo tubes. He drinks soy milk, but he prefers juice. He still loves bath time, and wants to sleep with me every night (which makes me smile). We read every single night a book of his choice and then say our night night prayers. His first prayer all on his own was this:
I love you angel... All the morning. Thank you mommy for feeding me cupcake, chicken, and moo tube. Thank you daddy... Buying me all my foods and because thank you Jesus. Amen

I had a few tears in my eyes listening to this. I could lay by his side all day everyday and listen to him talk.
Axton can identify letters versus numbers and knows a few shapes, but he can't quite say his ABC's. He is very athletic and can do anything with his hands. My favorite quotes by Ax are: happy dirtday, I need my not rag, ugh um because, I love you though, darn it, oh my goodness, I wanna hold you, I am growing bigger bigger, sucy (Lucy$ I love you all the morning, u beautiful mommy...
As you can see I could talk about him all day. Being a mommy is amazing and scary at times. I wouldn't change it for anything.
