I have two things to brag about:
1. Jack has been a real trooper with his little injuries. He has learned to clean his wounds (1st with peroxide, water and a syringe and now with soap and water) and care for his hand. He has managed to still be a 4 year old little boy who runs, jumps, swings and rides his scooter, all with stitches, scabs and a smile on his face. He rarely complains about his hand or head hurting, and when he does, you know he means it. He has exercised his hand as much as possible and is even dressing himself, as best as he can.
2. All that said, today Paul came home from NJ/NY (hung over is my guess, but he claims his stomach hurts... it's 6:40 and he is already in bed) the four of us went to see UP (cute movie and worth the $30 price of admission). After dinner Jack made dinner for himself and Ellis. I had left over chicken in the refrigerator that I cut up for him, but he put on the plates and warmed up in the microwave. He gave Ellis her coveted Ranch dressing and squeezed himself some honey. He then decided that they should have strawberries (from Dawn and Bill's garden), and dished them each a nice helping. He added yogurt drinks to round out his meal. He set the table and called his sister to dinner
They really DO grow up fast. Tonight I am a proud Mama, not the most happy wife, but proud of my little boy. I'll take it!
