Jackson VS the window... and other adventures

My dear sweet "hearing-impaired" Jackson has a condition called... Selective Hearing or SH.  As far as I know there is no cure for SH, but we treat it at our house with a lot of repetitive elevated vocal commands (or yelling... yes, I am so proud).  He is a good boy!  I know that!  And he doesn't mean for things to go wrong.  But he just doesn't ever seem to hear me when I need him to!  Like while I'm changing Reagan's bum, and he comes into her room to chat... which leads to him climbing into the rocking chair in the corner.... that is followed by rocking and numerous "Jackson, stop." "Jackson, stop." Jackson, STOP!" As he gets it rocking faster and harder.... and successfully launches it backwards.... right into the window!!! 

The sound of breaking glass did two things... Brought a look of realization to his face... and a look that could kill to mine, along with a strange eye twitch, which was probably the only thing stopping me from burning holes through him with my eyes!  I didn't yell (strangely enough)... although, I'm not sure that was a good thing... sometimes quiet/calm angry Mom is more dangerous!  But lucky for him, I was still trying to take care of Reagan!  Saved by the blow-out!  He should be SO grateful for his little sister!  haha.  We still haven't decided if he is getting Christmas, it will depend on the cost to fix the window... Let's be honest!  But we have him pretty scared... and that really is something!... Lucky for him we LOVE him, so we'll be keeping him!  :) (They need to make a dog training collar for kids, only instead of responding to barking, it should shock them when they whine or ignore their mother! I'm kidding, mostly!  ...NOW I sound like a horrible mother!  haha.)   

On a much happier note, he got to make a cute gingerbread house in school yesterday!  He was covered in frosting when he got home, a pretty sure sign that it was SUPER fun!  :)  He was guarding it with his life, but he did share a few pieces with Dad and Harrison.  haha.  He did a grea job!

And he got to participate in making a class t-shirt.  Each child got to draw their own face and write their name.  SO stinking cute!  :) 

After school yesterday I picked him up from the bus, and we headed to Pizza Hut to get his free Book It pizza.  (He earns coupons from school for doing his reading.) It was a lot of fun just the two of us.  He said it was "So Awesome!"  :)  And that the only thing missing was Dad and Harrison and Reagan.  haha.  He is a sweet-heart... even with SH!  :)
