Born to be outside

Jack loves to be outside more than any other place. Put him outside with a ball in sight and he is absolutely in a state of bliss. 

Yesterday Jack learned a new trick. Well, maybe Josiah learned a new trick. Together we'll just say they made a discovery. Jack discovered that he could make Josiah cry on command. Josiah discovered that Jack is very persuasive. Josiah would stop crying and Jack would look directly at him, wrinkle up his nose a bit and give a pathetic fake cry and Josiah never failed to burst into a fresh round of tears. They practiced this for about 20 minutes and during that time it worked 100% of the time about 8 times in all.

Credit due - thanks to Kim for taking all these pictures while Jon and I were teaching at Good News Club. It's nice to have a film record of what Jack does when we are apart.
