As Mary, Jack and Gracie's mom, I take pride in the fact that I know evrything about them. I know their likes and dislikes, what they will and won't eat, I can usually tell when they aren't feeling well, etc. Well, in the past two weeks I have learned two things about my blue eyed boy that totally schocked me!
#1 Jack needed glasses.
He never ran into things or fell over things. I didn't think he sat unusually close to the tv. But after two tries we were able to have a doctor examine his eyes, and lo and behold he is near-sighted. We got him glasses. Today was day 3 in glasses, and our second trip back to Walmart to have them re-adjusted. It was also on this trip that we invested in a strap to keep his glasses on. Sorry Jack!
#2 Jack is a "basket dipper"
You might be wondering-what the *&% is a "basket dipper?" I was wondering the same thing when Mary hurled the accusation at Jack this morning while the were both painting. The conversation went something like this...
Mary: "Jack, stop putting dirty brushes in your paint...clean it off in the water cup!"
Jack: "YaYa- worry about yourself!"
Mary: "Jack- you're a basket dipper!"
Me: "Mary what did you just say- what did you call Jack"
Mary: "My good feelings are in a basket and Jack is dipping into my basket and taking some of the good feelings out....I am a basket-filler- I try to fill people with good feelings!"
My son Jack - The four-eyed basket-dipper!
