Jackson has made a great buddy at church named Bix (short for Beatrix). I have promised him for literally 12 months that we would have a play date but they are in school on opposite days. So when her mom called me to see if we could get together over spring break it was perfect timing! Bix and Fiona came over and the kids of course had a blast. Fiona was pretty bummed that we were a “doll free” kind of a home but Bix is a bit of a tomboy and perfectly happy to play Star Wars (she had brought her own light saber) the entire time. She cracked me up as she said she would never be Princess Lea because she was boring. She would only be Luke Skywalker and Jackson had to be whoever she decided at the moment. I’ve not yet seen a little girl who could boss Jack around like this and it was hilarious. She (who turned 5 in February) definitely called the shots!
After hours of Star Wars fighting Bix decided that she and Jack were a band. She was performing like crazy and it was hysterical.
She really got into it and kept thanking all of she and Jackson’s “fans” for coming to the show and telling us all that she really did love us.
She would look at Jackson (who had moved on from Storm Trooper to fireman) and tell him what to do on the keyboard for each of her songs. And he dutifully did it.
Not only was it fun having friends over but it’s also neat that Bix’s grandparents and my grandparents have been great friends for many years. Grandmommy and Judy have attended the same Bible study for a number of years and now their grandkids and great grandkids are little buddies.
