Jackson and Cooper have been interacting more and more. Jackson sometimes tries to take too much of a disciplining role than he should, always saying, "No no Cooper, ..." I know he hears me say that all day long. I catch him holding Cooper around the waist trying to keep him out of the fireplace, or away from food crumbs on the kitchen floor. It can be quite helpful and many times I am so thankful for an extra set of eyes. For instance, this morning at 6:40 a.m. I was lounging on the couch wondering why in the world the boys need to wake up this early (especially Cooper who woke up and nursed at 10, 2, and 5). Anyway, while I was feeling sorry for myself, Jackson screamed. "NO COOP - NO EAT BUG!" So, I turned around to watch Cooper grab something off the floor near the baseboard and bring his little fist to his mouth. I dove off of the couch and caught his hand just before he ate what I guessed was a bug. Imagine my surprise when a big, fat, slimy, very much alive slug fell out on to the carpet. Oh, there are no words. I was beside myself. Jackson ran to get a napkin, and I held Cooper back while he tried to get to it with all of his might. It was so gross, and I couldn't bear to squish it in the napkin, so I picked it up and threw it out the backdoor - napkin and all. Oh ... This was a little better than when Cooper had a giant dead locust in his mouth back in Arkansas. Yeah, that one really did make me dry-heave. Anyway, now that you are feeling thankful that it was me and not you in the situation : ) here are some pictures from the rest of the week ...
