In efforts to explain to Jackson what a real emergency is, because there have been many "false" emergencies lately, I clarified to him a few times what an emergency was (fire, someone hurting or taking you, earthquake, someone else getting hurt or doing something that could hurt them, etc.). When putting him down for a nap or bedtime, I also explained that he wasn't to get out of bed unless it was "an emergency." The other night, after I told him that, he sighed heavily and said, "Well, we just don't get too many of those around here!" I had to agree.

Troy told me the other day that Jackson informed him that I had replaced the lightbulbs in the bathroom. Jackson said that I "restored the light." Ha! I wonder where he came up with that!

Last night, Jackson's new water bottle broke while Troy was trying to take the lid off. It was said that the cup was made in China. Jackson then looked toward the bathroom where we had several new lightbulbs go out recently. He asked, "Mommy, were those lightbulbs made in China?" I replied, "Probably." He then concluded, "Well, China needs to get some better materials!" Well said, son, well said.
