Smiling through the plague

Ahhh nothing like a warm welcome to fall with a nice fat head/chest cold. Jackson brought the plague home and now we all have it. It's a good thing that Jackson does adorable new things to make me smile and forget I feel like death.

Cute new things:
1. The other day Jackson was trying to saying something that I couldn't understand and was pointing to the kitchen counter...I walked over and pointed to each thing and he said "no...no...no" until I pointed to the kleenex box and he exclaimed YES. So I pulled out a tissue and handed it to him fully expecting him to either eat it or rip in into tiny microscopic pieces but he totally shocked me by precisely wiping his nose clean and then asking to put the used tissue in the trash. HUH??!! No one taught him to wipe his own nose and he totally did it! Hoping this trend will continue once we get to bum wiping. :)

2. Saying pweease (please) when he really wants something. So dang cute. Also didn' teach him that. I think he just knows I can resist when he looks at me with the big blue eyes and says "pwwwease". I'm suck a sucker.

3. Walking Finnegan. Jackson will take the tag on Finnegan's collar and lead him around the kitchen circle. And of course Finnegan is such a sweetie and totally lets him.

Those are just a few of the flipping adorable new things Jackson has started doing. I simply can't stand how cute he is sometimes.
