Why would you teach him that???

 Jackson is such a little sponge right now. He just absorbes everything we teach him, and he learns new things all the time. Well, Weston takes advantage of this a little too often and teaches him some things that I really, really wish he wouldn't.

Exhibit A: About a month ago, Weston taught Jackson how to flip a light switch on and off. Now all he wants to do is have me hold him next to a light switch so he can flip it. Not really what I want to spend my days doing.

Exhibit B: At any given time during church, you can find Weston or I wandering the halls with our wild man. Apparently, Weston needed to entertain himself one day because he taught Jackson how to push on the water fountain so water comes out. Now, whenever daddy is in charge of walking baby around the halls, baby ends up soaking wet, and when mommy is in charge and won't let baby get drenched in the water fountain, baby throws an epic tantrum. Nice.

Exhibit C: Today during church, Jackson did NOT want to sit still (not that I blame him, I was getting a bit antsy myself. Really, how do you get a one-year-old to be quiet and behave for three hours. THREE HOURS?!). He was being quite disruptive, and Weston had already taken him out in the hall once. The meeting was almost over so Weston thought it would be brilliant to show him how to rip the program to pieces. Really? Explain to me why this is a good idea. Loud ripping+huge mess=not a good church activity! I'm sure the people sitting around us were less than amused.

*sigh* I swear, sometimes it's like I have one cute, little child and one cute man-child. I don't even want to know some of the things that will surely come out of that kid's mouth when he gets a little older.

  2. He's 17 months. I don't know how we do it sometimes either :o) Fortunately, next month he will be able to go into nursery (kinda like church day-care) for the last two hours. Oh blessed day!

  3. Mrs. Beer, he's 26. If he hasn't figured things out by now I seriously doubt Nicole can do much to change him at this point...
