"I, Danger."



We're waiting for the other shoe to drop, but Jack is still in love with "Gace". Last night he didn't want to put on his PJ's for bed, so I used our newest reward system. Some kids respond to food bribes, others to promises of stories or watching a video. While all those appeal to our man, nothing quite compares to helping change Grace's diaper. "If you get on your jammies, you can sit on the bed and help with Grace's diaper." So he flew into his bedroom, put on his PJ's without fuss, and then ran into the bedroom to grab a tiny diaper, clothes and the changing pad. What a champ.

When he gets on the bed he holds Grace's hand if she cries, and pats her on the head. He very quietly says, "I gentle, Jack gentle". Unfortunately, with his sometimes less than perfect pronounciation it comes out a little different. Matt and I swear that, if you listen carefully, and ignore that angelic smile he has he is actually saying, "I, danger. Jack, danger."
