My Little Atoms

So, we went to a playground with my girlfriend and her two kids yesterday and she had a perfect anology for the boys. She said, " My gosh Nicole, all I can think of when I see them running around is that thay are like little atoms." She makes arm and hand motions at this point of scurrying little atoms that zip around and then Crash! and then bounce back again and zip around and Boom! Back up again. I laughed and thought how true. It was yesterday that I realized my kids are a force when they are playing in public. I truely have to have hawk eyes when I watch them play because they take no prisoners. If you're in their way, sorry bout your luck because they don't stop. They seem to be oblivious when they are with each other to the other kids around them. They get in their own little Maddox and Jaxon world giggling, sceaming and trucking anyone over that's in their path. This I realized when we went to the mall late in the afternoon. I remember when I used to take them boys to the play area and they could barely stand. Older kids would be running around and narrowly missing the little guys. Now my kids are those Big guys! I have to constantly remind them that there are smaller children. Jaxon came up to me and said, "I hit her mom." Just matter of factly like that. I asked the little girl and she shook her head no that he didn't really. I think he like to just get a reaction from me. So I tell him, we can give hugs to our friends, but not hitting. So what does he do? He runs away from me and proceeds to hug ....wait......lift up and hug the crawling baby on the other side. I jump up....while holding and feeding Ty...."No No Jax, not the baby!" Maddox on the other hand was making progress and learning how to approach and make new friends. He came running up to me angry that a little boy wanted to touch his truck. I told him maybe if he let him touch his truck that maybe the little boy would let him touch his curious George. It worked! They then proceded to find out what each others names were and how old they were. Oddly enough the kids name was Jackson and his birthday was Jue 16th. Maddox got this big grin when he told him his name. They actually played together the majority of the time. Very cute. I stayed out a little late last night to wear them out. they took a late nap so e got a late start. Maddox laied with me last night just based on what time it was and we were talking before we fell asleep. I asked him about making new friends today and wasn't it nice to make a new friend. He said, " Yeah and he let me touch his monkey." Hmm, maybe I need to explain to him that it was curious George! anyways, I took too many pics yesterday and can't post them all, so I'll send them out on Kodak!
