Watching Jaxon interact with Andy is one of the greatest joys of life these days. On a rainy Saturday night at the tail-end of winter, we had a family dinner celebrating belated birthdays of January and February, and when it was done we had some time with my Godson.
Jaxon is growing in leaps and bounds, and just a few weeks reveal numerous changes and developments. It feels like only yesterday when he was still crawling carefully about – now he wants you to run and hide, then chase you and bring you back to where you began.
Andy was playing with him for a while, and when he tried to go back to a chair to join in the adult conversation, Jaxon walked over and pulled him back to play some more. Each time Andy returns to the chair, Jaxon would go back and grab at his hand, pulling him along to join him with his plastics cars and trucks. Andy got his exercise that night, until I played a quick bit of chase with Jaxon, which tuckered me out just as quickly. I’m not sure how many years of active engagement we might offer, but we’ll go until we can’t go anymore.
