MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Here's a funny little story from today (Christmas Eve):
Jared was being a bit whiny and defiant, so I started singing, "You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry, you'd better not pout, I'm telling you why, Santa Clause is coming to town." That's helped him act a bit better during this season. But today he informed me that the Elves have already turned in the names for Santa's list, so they've stopped watching if he's good or bad.
Gee whiz, that kid can think his way around anything!
