A few more Xander stories

A few days ago Xander and I were outside painting (I'm painting a shelf for Cailia and he likes to help by painting the cardboard I'm using to protect the garage floor and getting paint all over both of us). He went over on the lawn to play and dig in the dirt, but then the sprinklers came on, which he is terrified of. He started screaming as loud as he could and tried to run to get out of them, but he couldn't see much because of all the water, so he ended up running through the longest way possible. He also lost his flip flop half way through and had to go back to get it (another thing he flips out about), so by the time he finally got out of the sprinklers, he had water pouring down his head into his face and he was soaked! And very upset about it. Jeff ran outside thinking he'd been hurt, then when he saw how wet he was he quickly figured out what happened and started laughing. It was really sad, but cute too, and I think he's actually a little less scared of sprinklers now.

For some reason, Xander gets wedgies all the time, especially in his carseat. He calls the weegies though, so now we do too so he doesn't learn the right way cuz I love that. Lately though he's been shortening it, and every once in a while he'll yell from the back seat "I have a weege!" Jeff and I are usually laughing too hard to help him.
