Jackson just loves school. He's an uber-speller, getting 90% on most of his spelling tests thus far. He's been learning Spanish. I wondered how that would go, but he's coming home singing songs about "Donde esta?" and stating proudly, "Me llamo es Jackson!" On the flip side, he's started pulling hair. According to his teacher, he will cross a room at school to pull a child's hair. And, he's now doing it to me at home. J comes at me with hand outstretched saying, "Don't pull hair." If he's lucky enough to get a handful, he follows it with, "Pulling hair is naughty." No one seems to know how this started or how to stop it. At home, he doesn't like me walking away from him and it usually stops the pulling.
For Halloween, the boys were "Monkey George and The Man with the Yellow Hat." We even dressed MG up as Ryan Braun. They were so cute! I'll post pics as soon as we get them off the camera. Jameson loved it! He walked up to the first house and said, "I would like to have a piece of candy, please." The lady just laughed. We shortened it up to just "trick or treat" after that. Jackson followed the protocol of "trick or treat" and "thank you," but could've cared less about the candy. He did latch on to a piece of licorice that he found very entertaining for some reason.
Here's my rant for the day: Because someone has bred more or has had children longer, does not make them a superior parent. I made the mistake of asking advice on a situation with Jameson on Facebook. A woman who I only know from trisomy circles told me to because she has 5 kids, one a trier, I essentially just need to "toughen up, I have a lot of parenting ahead of me." Yep, I get that, but I'm amazed that I got so offended by someone I've never met. It made me want to go all Springer show and yell, "You don't know me!" I had to go and ask the question, didn't I?
GI/feeding team follow up next week. Hopefully, J has packed on some pounds with all the sandwich chomping he's been doing lately.
Object du Jour: J loves the "Biscuit" books he brings home from the school library.
