A Lasting Impression...

Yep, Two Posts today! But this one is mainly for Tiff and Drewsy!

Tonight Chris and I to had date night! We just had to bring Jaxon with us. Of course we are kind of used to that, but the fact that we were going to his home-away-from-home, the "movee feater", we knew we were still going to enjoy ourselves!

So all day I kept preparing him for our night out telling him what we were going to do. Did the usual mommy tricks and leveraged the evenings activities to coax him into good behavior and of course a lengthy nap time. And sweet little angel boy that he is would do everything I asked ever so obediently and with so much excitement because we were going to the "movee feater!"

As we were driving to the movie Chris and I were talking and Jaxon looked so excited. He suddenly asked me, "Mom, is the movee feater big far far away, or a little far far away?" I started laughing because that was Drew's favorite question to ask and he obviously picked it up from her during our week in Portland. I answered him and said, "Nope, it's just a little bit far far away."

Jaxon then saw the movie theatre that we reguarly attend and he said, or should say loudly protested, "MOM! This not a movee feater. This is 'Popcorn!' We going to MOVEE FEATER!" I then realized that through mine and Tiff's description of where we were taking the kids on two separate nights during our trip, and the old-fashioned, uniqueness of the Adults-Only on a Wednesday Night Movee Feater, had resignated with Jaxon, and that's where he thought we were going. I quickly told him that we couldn't go to that movie theatre and that we would have to go on an airplane to get to that one. Of course he wanted to do that right away...and he wanted his Drew!

So Drewsy, know how much your BEST FRIEND Jaxon misses you! And he no longer wants to go movies without you! He wants to do Wonder Markers with you! He misses watching Munks with you and Mason! And he misses having all those great kid-to-kid conversations every day!

We hope we don't have to wait too long to see you guys again!

We love you!
