flotsam & jacksam

some more random things about jack, at 13 months ...

• jack is easily frustrated by things and shows his frustration by throwing himself onto whatever surface is nearby (sofa, floor, etc.) and dramatically banging his hands on the ground
  
• jack is frustrated by things that include falling down when he's trying to run/walk, being told "no" and being made to step away from the kitchen trash can
  
• jack tries repeatedly to throw things into the kitchen trash can or his diaper pail -- last trash day daddy found a sippy cup full of water and the remote control for the stereo receiver in the garbage he was setting out!
  
• jack has discovered "rules lawyering" and when told not to touch the trash can lid will instead just touch the trash bag peeking out from under the lid; reminiscent of "the great bell stand-off" if you ask mommy...
  
• jack is pointing and saying "ma!" at almost everything he sets his eyes on
  
• jack still loves to see the cats and knows how to look in all of their favorite hiding places for them, including under the bed -- he gets on his belly and peers under ... adorable!
  
• jack has a taste for salvadoran food -- his recent menu selections have included tortillas, tamales and pupusas ... yummm ...
