Play Date

Here are some fun shots of Jaxon at a play date we went to a couple of weeks ago at the Parmatown mall by our house. (There are more pictures here) They have quite a fun play place for the kids and it's indoors, so I have a feeling we'll be there a lot more this winter once it gets too cold to play outside.
Here he is showing off his Canadian shirt! :o)
He did really well with this tunnel crawling through all by himself. The tunnel had a little bit of a lip to it though, so at the end of it, he kind of face planted getting out of the tunnel. :o(
Here's an action shot of him playing with the little gear toys they have there.
Funny thing about this toy is that EVERY kid wants to play with it. It was finally free from the "bigger" kids so I took Jaxon over to play. As soon as Jaxon started playing though and making sounds with it and showing he was having fun, another little boy came up to play at it. He started crowding into Jaxon's space so Jaxon just shoved him over. It was really funny. But the next thing that happened was not so much. This little boy, who was quite a little bit older, got really mad that Jaxon has pushed him, and sat down on his bum and turned his legs towards Jaxon in a double kick motion. Wow, I must have broken some kind of record getting over to Jaxon and getting him out of the way of this kid who was ready to just kick him over with both his legs! I was quite surprised at how mad I was at that little kid, because I know in his eyes, Jaxon must have started it since Jaxon pushed him first. But wow, I have quite the mother bear instinct in me! :o)
Here's Jaxon with his good friend Sage.
Jaxon loved this bridge they had there...couldn't quite figure out how to get up it though.
We had a lot of fun that day!

I think it takes very little to bring out the mama bear in people. The pictures are so cute. It looks like you both had a great time. A perfect place to go when you want to get out and it is cold.

You're a cute mom! Nice sweater. I love Jaxon's face in the bridge pic. You should get that one printed!
