We made a visit to the Urgent Care on Saturday night because earlier in the day Jackson fell on his foot while playing basketball with Matt. We didn't think much of it at first because he fell asleep right after, but when he woke up he couldn't walk. In fact, he refused to even put his foot on the ground and he cried every time we tried to get him to walk. After an X-Ray the doctor determined that there were no broken bones and that everything looked normal, but Jackson still refused to even put his foot on the ground. The doctor said that there is so much cartilage in his foot that maybe he had bruised it. At any rate, the kid still cries anytime his foot touches the floor and has had to revert to crawling. It has been nice having Matt home during all of this because he has been carrying him everywhere. I am sooo looking forward to carrying Jackson everywhere tomorrow since Matt will be at work! Matt and Jack stayed home from church today and in order to entertain the poor kid who had gotten sick of sitting on the bed watching movies, Matt made him a "little house" as he calls it! Jackson sure knows how to milk his injury! Daddy even went out and bought him a new movie and has pretty much given in to anything and everything he wants!! I am afraid at this point his foot will never "heal"!!!
Matt's such a sucker!!! It figures that Jackson would know how to work him! How do kids figure out how to manipulate situations?!?! They are so clever! Hope his foot starts to feel better! Get well soon!
Hope his foot feels better soon. Matt's probably just in a vulnerable state right now, with the Lakers losing, the Dodgers are under .500, and Rampage Jackson just lost the UFC title...poor guy, it's been a tough month. Of course, I can't talk the Yankees are in 3rd behind Tampa - how did that happen?! Wow, this comment is really long, I wonder how much longer I can go. Did you ever see that Seinfeld where Krammer and the car salesman drive the car until the fuel needle is past the "E?" That's how I'm feeling right now. My OCD is not letting me just cut this off, I must see how long my comment ca
-We go into the family bathroom at the airport. There is a couch, a toilet, and a shower. Jackson walks in and says "Hey mom, this looks like the master bedroom!"
-We were trying to find the cup that we were using for Jack's juice. (I had forgotten that he had gotten mad earlier and had thrown it under a table). I kept asking him where it was and he finally stopped looking, put his finger on his temple and said, "hmmm, lets stop and think!"
-We were at the park and a dog was running around without an owner. Finally, the dog disappeared between the trees on the other side of the park. Jack asked, "Where did the dog go?" I said, "I don't know where do you think it went?" "Oh, he is eating in the forest" (the grove of trees where the dog ran to) I say, "what is he eating in the forest?" Jack answers, "Pie!"
-Jackson NEVER talks in his Sunbeams class at church, but today when the teacher asked if anyone had anything new to tell them he said, "My dad is the best!" So cute!
-I want to be a fireman when I grow up and drive a fire truck with daddy!"
-We are waiting for the maintenance man to come over and fix our door. I tell Jackson that his name is Anthony. The doorbell rings and in walks a very tall, nice, black man. Jackson says, "Is that ebony?" I am thinking, "What the heck?" Then I realize he is saying, "Anthony". From that point on I am praying that he won't say anything embarrassing!
-We are sitting on my bed watching a movie. Jack has been laying on his hand for a while now. He changes positions and throws his hand in my face and says, "Mommy, my hand is crusty!" "Your hand is crusty? "Yes." Then I say," Do you mean tingling?" He says, "Yes, my hand is tingling!" We prefer crusty!
-I ask Jack where his dad is, he says, "At work!" I say, "What does daddy do at work?" Jackson says, "He puts bad guys in jail, in dark dark caves with monsters!" (Last part is said with a deep growl voice!!)
-Jackson says to Charlie (in a high pitched silly voice) "Hey there little one, where did you come from? The hospity?"
-I am in my room making my bed, Charlie is in his bouncy chair in the living room with Jackson. Charlie starts to fuss and cry a little and Jackson says, "Tharlie, I am busy, I am eating my oatmeal, I can't hold you right now!"
-A picture of our old Explorer came up on the computer and Jackson saw it and said,"Mom, is that Mafews (Matthews) car?"
-We are out to lunch with a guy Matt knows, and his baby. Jackson turns to me, points to the baby and says, "Hey mom, is that Hannah Montana?" How the heck does he know about Hannah Montana???
-"I wanna watch the Jesus movie.....you know, the one about Heavenly Father. It's really cool." (I have no idea what movie he is talking about!)
-Jackson and I are having a conversation about how he is a big boy and big boys go potty in the toilet and not in their diapers. After which he asks, "Mommy, do grills (girls) pee?"
-Jackson LOVES to read the Children's Book of Mormon, and has come to know that the Lamanites were the "bad guys". And this his how the conversation went:" Daddy, did you put bad guys in jail today?" (Matt is a prosecutor). Matt says, "Yes, I did." Jack says, "You put the Lamanites in jail?"
-As I was looking at pics of Charlie in the hospital Jackson came up and said, "Oh, there's Charlie" and it was quickly followed by a very mad face and "Mom, you leaved me!"I think he is still harboring resentment that I left him to go to the hospital to have Charlie!
-We go into the family bathroom at the airport. There is a couch, a toilet, and a shower. Jackson walks in and says "Hey mom, this looks like the master bedroom!"

Poor little guy! I'm glad he didn't brake anything. I love the tent! Kids really do know how to milk things for all that they are worth.
I hope Jackson is feeling better- poor thing. I hate to admit it but I would be a sucker just like Matt!
