Daxton has been asking me all day about monsters. He wants to know where they live. I've been trying to tell him that monsters aren't real. He doesn't understand the difference between real and pretend yet. So I told him that monsters live in monster jail like on the movie 'Monters vs. Aliens'. He seemed to be satisfied by that answer. In my previous post I talked about how Dylan as a bit of an attitude. Sometimes I call her a little monster. I must have called her a little monster today because while I was in the kitchen cleaning up after lunch I heard Daxton tell Dylan to go in the closet and get her pet shop animals. Next I heard the closet door close and Dax come running in the kitchen to tell me that the monster was locked up in jail! It was sooo funny! I've also been trying to teach him not to say naughty words. One day him and his cousin, Carson, kept saying things were stupid. I kept reminding them that was a naughty word and they couldn't say it. Later John and I were talking and refering to something as stupid. Daxton totally picked up on it and told me not to say that funny word! He was saying funny instead of naughty. There's nothing like an almost 3 year old to keep you in line!

You wouldn't believe the attitude that is hidden behind this adorable little face! My sweet Dylan is turning into a little bully! She hits and grunts all the time. First she would just do it to me when I wanted her to do something she didn't want to like take a nap or get her diaper changed. Now she is doing it to other kids. There was a small baby, probably 6 or 8 months old, sitting behind us at church and Dylan was grunting at her and hitting her for no reason. I need to figure out how to teach her to be nice and kind or she'll end up with no friends. I didn't imagine her having such an attitude until she was older, but it's here!

What a fun 4th of July!! It started with our annual Maylin family breakfast at the park. Been doing it for as long as I can remember. Then we took Daxton to see Monsters vs Aliens. He cried within the first 30 min because the girl who turns into Ginormica get locked up in jail and she's crying. Poor kid, he's soo sensitive. But before he cried he was yelling cause when she was turning into Ginormica she burst through the church she was in and Dax screamed,"her is breaking the temple!" over and over! Then we ended the day at the fireworks in Kaysville. I love fireworks. Daxton does too, however, Dylan wasn't the least bit interested! The 4th of July is definately my favorite Holiday!
