~Jax~

I am always proud of my kids. I may not always claim them when they act like little ... well, let's just say brats. For the most part, though, they are big hearted and loving.

Lately I have been having to, physically, rip Jax and Brinkley apart. They have been all over each other fighting. Then Pudgie gets in on the action and Binky goes nuts. She is having a hard time adjusting to Pudgie finally talking and understanding so much, that she sometimes pulls the, "pity me, I am the only girl" thing on me. It does not work.

Today, after Tommy and I trained together, he offered me the moon. He told me he would watch the baby so I could go grocery shopping. Now, in retrospect, he needed food too, so it was a win win for all of us. I rounded up Jax and Binky and off we went to Fry's, in daddy's honda.

I usually have the radio up loud enough not to listen to them since I get a break from the same movie we watch in the Excursion. For whatever reason, it was not up and I got to listen to their conversation.

Jax, "I have my money."
Binky, "How much?"
Jax, "Enough."
Binky, "What are you going to buy?"
Jax, "I don't know." "I have an idea but we will have to see."
Binky, "Oh. Maybe Mommy will let me get a new toy too."
Jax, "Don't worry about it. I will split my money."
Binky, "What? What do you mean split it?"
Jax, "I will give you half of my money and buy you a toy too. That way Mommy can buy the groceries."
Binky, "Really?"
Jax, "Yeah, of course." "What should we get?"
Binky, "I don't know. Do I have to get what you want me to?"
Jax, "No, pick out whatever you want to."

I almost melted. Once we were at Fry's they walked around the store together holding hands (so no one would steal them) looking for the toys. They no longer sell toys. I promised a trip to Target after groceries, simply because, Jax just rocked my world with his kindness towards his little sister today.

Jax even tried to buy the donuts they ate as we shopped, He said, " I just wanted to help you out Momma," as he handed me his precious dollar bill.

I AM A LUCKY MOM!

(and Jax got back every penny of his money..he just does not know it yet)
