Jace-ism

Right before school got out, Jace, Hannah and I were walking into PG Rec Center for morning aerobics. Since it isn't that busy of a parking lot, I let Jace either run ahead of me or walk behind me. Well that day he was lagging a bit, but still close enough that I could hear his footsteps. When he say's, "Mom, I'm on you." I turned around to see him walking on my shadow. So I let out a fake, "Ouch! Jace that hurts...stop...Stop!" He just looked up and gave me that devilish grin. And now it is a little game whenever we are walking somewhere for him to walk on my shadow, and for me to pretend that it hurts. (Although in the past 2 weeks, there hasn't been a whole lot of opportunity with all the rain.) But it beats dragging him along and making him hold my hand while walking in a parking lot!
(The picture of Jace is just one from the other morning. I let Jace make his own toast, since the other kids get to. But there is about an inch thick layer of butter on that toast. I let him take just one bite before I scraped off his future heart attack!)
