Birthdays & Pom Poms

Today was Zachary's birthday. Jackson really did well at the party. Played a lot with water balloons, and jumped on the neighbors trampoline.

He's become comfortable at Dad's house, but again, prefers to do his own thing.

He helped Zach blow out the candles and insisted we turn out the lights to sing. It was a nice evening, we all enjoyed being there.


So we have this incentive system (I copied from my sister Joy) where we give Cal small pom-poms in a cup for behaving/listening/sharing, etc. Once the cup is filled Cal gets to pick a reward: TokensNTickets, Putt Putt, Chuck-E-Cheese, whatever. Well, Dan started a cup for Jackson. He is ALL about the pom-poms. He is anxious to fill his cup and go to Build A Bear. [We've GOT to buy stock in that company!] He's become uber-sensitive to directives and inquires, "pom-pom?" at least ten times a day...hey, whatever works, eh?
