Mommy Play vs. Daddy Play
This "tube 'o bugs" was another birthday gift. Let me tell you, it's a hit. I'm quite certain he plays with it everyday. And, of course, if he's playing with it, that means he wants you to play with it too. Chris and I have spent much time familiarizing ourselves with the variety of creatures that dwell in the tube. But there is a significant difference in the experiences Jackson gets when he plays with his Daddy and when he plays with me. Here is an example from earlier today:
Jackson: "Mommy, play with the grasshopper."
Mommy: "Okay. Hi grasshopper. Jackson, where do grasshoppers live?"
Jackson: "In the grass."
Jackson: "Daddy, play with the dragonfly."
Daddy: "Okay, Jackson. The dragonfly is flying around. Look out Jackson! The dragonfly is going to poop on your head!"
True story.

I'm pretty sure your comment just made his day, Jennifer...
Sounds like our house. R and Daddy smash the shopping cart and doll stroller in a two-person demolition derby. R and Mommy take the doll for a stroll and keep her warm with a blanket...
Just teaching the boy to be a man.
And Jennifer, have I ever told you that you're my favorite cousin and that I love you??
I told Chris he looked skinny and he never said he loved me.
I love you, too, Murph!
