Jackson Danger, Incident Report, Day Four(?)

Jackson made a short little road trip today to Seminole, OK, to visit the Jasmine Moran Children's Museum. Now that was a nice little museum. It's a hands-on adventure experience for kids. Jackson in fact was a bit young to get the most out of the experience, but he thoroughly enjoyed it nonetheless.

Jackson especially liked the shopping experience and the thin hemispherical gas-filled liquid soap film exhibition.


Ok, so, I enjoyed it too, so what? Every grandparent likes to blow bubbles with their grandkid - or at least they should.


Some of them even like to BE IN a bubble with their grandkid.

The only real incident to report today is Jackson's obessive compulsive disorder. The day before yesterday he fed the last of the carrots to Joe the Horse, and ever since then Jackson has reminded us at ever opportunity that we simply MUST get some more carrots for Joe. At the museum today, Jackson took his turn at the grocery store experience and went directly to the produce area and filled a shopping cart with carrots for Joe.


Later, when Nana returned from a shopping trip to a real store this afternoon, Jackson questioned her about the carrots. Nana told him that yes, she had remembered to pick up some carrots for Joe. Jackson replied, "I wanna see 'em," and made Nana show him the carrots before he was satisfied.


So, I conclude that Jackson is far too overly concerned with the mundane circumstances of life and that he is too much like his mother (who, by the way, is too much like her father).


Makes me so proud.
