Jack is fully self-dressed and ready to head to Costco this morning while I'm feeding Millie some baby food. Superman shirt, favorite plaid shorts, long white socks and cowboy boots.
"Mom, when I am a dad I will never put my children in time out or give them Sassy Water."
"Really? Wow. That's great. What will you do if your little boy punches your little girl in the nose?"
Hand up in protest, "No no no, I'm not having any little girls. Just little boys."
"Ok, so what will you do if one little boy punches the other little boy in the nose and breaks it."
"I'll just say it's an accident."
"Oh, well what will you do if your little boy punches you in the nose and breaks your nose and there's blood all over you and it hurts really bad."
"Then maybe some Sassy Water."
Pause.
"I will have three little boys. I think I'll name them Ethan (tongue click), Sam... (long pause, finger in nose) and James. Yeah, James."
Lately Jack talks about how things will be a lot when he is a dad. He is so very bored without Addie at home! When he's not dreaming of his life with a lot of little boys to hang with, he is in full character mode pretending to be somebody. And, he's pretty much a tornado of destruction through the house as he plays by himself. I gotta get this boy some buddies! Oh, and he can't seem to explain anything to you without adding a tongue click. I'm trying to document him like this because I know he's going to grow up and I don't want to forget these days.

What's sassy water??
Sassy water? I totally need to know what this is about...sounds brilliant!
Sassy water is 50% vinegar 50% water in a spray bottle. My kids really hate it & it seems to help niceness come out of their mouth more easily. Better to say nice things than taste gross things. We don't use it all the time, just when things get really off balance!
