"Cascus"

Jaxon is obsessed with "cascus" aka,  cactus

Everywhere we go, he wants to point out a cactus. If there's not one where we are he says "Mom, lets go find some"

We'll go on walks and see cactus. He'll make me touch them, but he never dares. When we have to walk away from the cactus, he cries.

What is a mother supposed to do?

I'll tell ya what I did...

We spent our Friday night at Lowes searching for the perfect cactus to take home and plant and keep on our counter for jaxon to always see.

We named it Carl.

Carl the Cactus.

Andrew and I struggle to keep all types of plants from dying. But cactus are apparently supposed to be pretty low key. This cactus has as a year warranty! If it dies, we get a new one! And it says it's supposed to eventually get 6 feet tall. Who knows if that will happen in our lifetime though.
