I am not sure that most of you are aware of this but Jeff and I are raising a dragon. He will be three in February and insists that his name is no longer Jackson but rather Jack the Dragon and that he will only eat cake, Cheerios, grass, or "trick or treat candy." He also would like to announce that he is too busy to use the potty. (He tells me this as he is eating Cheerios and watching an episode of the Wonder Pets so one can only deduce that he is, in fact, just being stubborn about the whole potty issue. That or he really thinks he is busy...hmmm.)
This afternoon, after nap time and lunchtime, the boys and I went to the Air force Museum, where I was informed that dragons not only don't have to follow the rules but are allowed to fly whatever plane they want. After a short discussion we finally agreed that even dragons have to listen to their mommy says. The boys both adore sitting in the cockpit of the two planes that are open. One of the planes has two separate areas and the other one just has one seat. My boys, as they adore each other, insisted on sitting in the single seat together and "flew" that plane for a good 10 minutes.
We're having one of those days where nothing quite suits Gram and Jackson, ahem, Jack the Dragon, is having a hard time listening. It must be frustrating to know exactly what you want but not be able to verbalize it. I know it's frustrating to be able to verbalize but not have anyone listen! (As a side note the boys just used "teamwork" to break our floor lamp. I explained that lights of any type can not be used for riding or turning into cars.)
Thankfully Jeff will be home soon to save us all! In the meantime perhaps I will try to convince my little dragon to try to use the potty? Maybe he's not busy anymore.....
