Payton's First Song

My sister emailed this to me the other day. I had completely forgotten about it! But now that I see it, I remember it like it was yesterday!! Payton was 4 years old when he wrote his first song:

(singing) There once was a cowboy who shot a buffalo

(talking) You know who it was? It was me.

(singing) There was a bucking bull chasing the cowboy.

(talking) You know what happened to him? I shot him.

(singing) There was a giraffe who was running along.

(talking) You know what happened to him? I shot him.

(singing) There was an alligator chasing after me.

(talking) You know what happened to him? I shot him because he was trying to bite me.

(singing) One more animal. There was a llama chasing after me.

(talking) You know what happened to him? I shot him because llamas spit.

He sang it kind of like a blues song. He would play his guitar during the first line and then he would stop his guitar and speak the second line. Tonight, we had a good laugh about it. The key phrase of the night was "I shot him" in this deep voice. Even when Payton was little, he had such a low voice!!

He's growing up so fast!!

Jaxon Goes Potty

Tonight, Jaxon went potty for the first time! I just want to write the story down so that I don't forget it!

He got out of the bathtub and he was naked in the living room. He looked at me and said, "I'm sorry mommy. Some of my poopy leaked out." I told him to stand up and there were 2 drops of pee on the rug. I told him that we should go sit on the potty and he said, "NO!" I told him that Payton goes potty & Evan goes potty & mommy goes potty & daddy goes potty. Everyone in our house goes potty except for Jaxon. He just laughed.

Payton walked in the living room and Jaxon said, "Payton, do you go potty?" Payton said yes. Evan walked in and Jaxon said, "Evan, do you go potty?" Evan said yes.

Then, Jaxon said, "Mommy, I go potty!" So, we ran to the bathroom and he wouldn't sit down. He started talking for a few minutes and then started peeing in the floor. He quickly stopped and I told him to sit down on his potty. He sat there, but was really nervous (I think it's because his potty plays music and it scared him the first time it happened.)

Then, I pointed to the little "boy guard" and said, "Hey! Why don't you try to shoot that?" He looked down and said, "Hey! Shoot that!" Then, he started peeing and almost filled up the whole potty!! He was so proud of himself and we threw him a small party! ;)

Katianne came over and he told her to come and see. So, he took her in the bathroom and pointed to the little "boy guard" thing and said, "Katianne! I shot that!" It was hilarious!! Now if he'll just keep on doing that!! ;)
