Unprompted

Tonight after supper, the boys were instructed to get ready to take showers.  It's typically Lil A.P. first and then Jaxon, but tonight Jaxon was first.  His daddy got the shower ready for him, then told him to get bathed and he'd come back in to check on him.  Minutes went by and Big went in to check on him and ask if he needed any help.  Well, much to our surprise, the kiddo was completely lathered up and was about to rinse off.  He had washed his hair and was on to washing his body.  He said he didn't need any help "I can handle it".  Handle it he did.  Dude finished rinsing, we hear the shower turn off, he calls for his Dad because he dropped the towel in the shower and it got wet, but other than needing help getting another towel, he did it all on his own.  He got out and went to his bedroom and shut the door behind him so Bruiser (our dog) wouldn't follow him in there and lick him like crazy.  Next thing I know, Lil A.P. is getting in the shower and Jaxon is walking from out of the bedroom with his PJ's own, carrying his towel.  He goes in to the bathroom, comes out with all the dirty clothes and carries them back to the bedroom & shuts the door.  Minutes pass and he comes out & his daddy comments on how daper he looks (PJ's own, his hair all slicked back) and Jaxon says "Mom. Dad. Come look at my room."  We both get up and he escorts us to his room.  Guys ... that little boy had not only put up all the dirty clothes, but he totally cleaned up him and A.P.'s room ... all by himself!  After walking all around the room, I bent down to him and gave him a massive squeeze hug and told him how incredibly proud I was of him.  That dude grinned from ear to ear and giggled... then gave ME a hug!  Five looks good on 'ol Jaxon Bryce.  I told him tonight, "Boy, five sure is fun!" ... he said "I tried telling y'all that's what they say about five ... five is fun!".  Thank you God for giving us these boys!
