other pony tricks

Jack waves bye-bye now in this funny little circular way, and learned how to high-five at school from Jack Reilly. He knows to hold up his hand and say "stop" when someone is bothering him (it comes out like "tah! tah!" and he recently confused it with high-five and then laughed like crazy.

What Jack lacks in his ability to sleep, he makes up for in his indiscriminatory eating. He'll pretty much try anything, and even puppy-dog eyed a little girl at the busstop into giving him some of her grapes.

When he hears the song "Five Little Monkeys" he holds up his finger and waves it in the air when you get to the part about "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!" and laughs.

Tomorrow we go back to swimming lessons! Jack and I are both kind of under the weather but I can't wait to see how he responds to the water after being away for so long.
