Excuses

Jackson really dislikes cleaning his room, and as you will see will come up with any excuse not to do it. The first time I went in to check on him this is what I found:

Excuse #1: "I am just too tired to clean."

Excuse #2: "I'm too hungry to clean my room." (This is a common excuse. He is always hungry.)

Excuse #3 (my personal favorite): "I can't clean my room because my hand is wrapped up on this ball".

Jackson's favorite excuse is that he just can't do it by himself and I need to help him. I usually do help him because I realize he is 3 years old and it can be overwhelming for him (even though I know he can do it, because he has done it before), but I was just too busy yesterday. However, when Eric came home Jackson asked him so nicely for help that I guess he couldn't resist and his room finally did get cleaned up.

Lastly, I had to post one more picture from last weekend so I don't forget it. We were out to eat and all talking about our favorite dogs. Megan's favorite was the Chihuahua and the Bulldog. I can't remember Eric's, but I won't forget Jackson's. Jackson looked at us and said his favorite was the French Poodle. WHAT. I don't even know what a French Poodle looks like. He cracks me up.
