Tell me more
“He’s a good little puppy. I love puppies. You can cuddle with them, hug them, or snuggle with them, or sleep with them. Or play with them. And doggies play with cars or play with trucks or play with horses. Or you can build something with the magna-tiles with the puppy or you can feed him some food. Or you can wear a necklace with the puppy or you can go outside with the puppy and ride a bike.”
Jackson, after seeing a dog on TV

Still doesn’t want to leave the house
Justin: “Want to go outside and help me plant the tree?”
Jackson: “No, first we’re going downstairs.”
Justin: “OK, let’s go downstairs and then we can go outside and plant the tree.”
Jackson: “Let’s pretend to plant the tree downstairs.”

Me: “Should we get our shoes on and go outside?”
Jackson: “Let’s pretend to go outside.”
Justin and I are starting to get concerned Jackson is a little TOO comfortable with quarantine life.
I’ve heard other parents talk about how hard it is to keep their kids inside all the time, but Jackson is totally fine being at home. I can’t even get him to go outside in our own back yard! Plus he loves staying in his pajamas all day long and he’s not really interested in talking to anyone via Zoom. Eek!
It’s going to be an interesting adjustment if we ever get back to normal!

Dr. Jackson
I was down on the floor in kind of an awkward position (trying to take a picture of Luc), when Jackson comes up to me and says, “Do you have a cramp? Are you OK?”

Sympathy pains
Jackson was walking around the basement when all of a sudden he fell to the ground clutching his foot and said, “Oh! I have a cramp!”
(I’ve been getting a lot of foot cramps lately…)

Justin discovering video conferencing
“This Microsoft Teams thing is so cool. You just hit call. You don’t even need a phone number…. Like, I don’t have my desk phone, and I don’t need to know anyone’s phone number. But I can still call them. And then they’re there. On the computer.”
