When I got Jack home from school on Tuesday night, after being in respite for 4 days, he gave me the silent treatment!
I know you're thinking, silent treatment, but he doesn't speak! Well believe me, this boy doesn't need to. A lot of people make the mistake of thinking that non verbal people don't communicate but his whole body language was giving me the message that he was not a happy bunny and my punishment was to be ignored.

Every time I spoke to him, he would refuse to give me any eye contact, twisting his head this way and that. He had such a look on his face that I really couldn't help laughing. The more I laughed, the harder he worked not to respond. The look on his face was totally priceless, halfway between a smirk and a glare.

Finally after 3 hours of hard slog, he gave me a half smile. I jumped up and down with delight, gave him a big, sloppy kiss and he responded by giving me a huge beaming smile. I tickled him then and he started really chuckling and I knew that I had been forgiven.

Typical man, making me work so damn hard.
Seems he really knows how to work on you Lynne. Those were some awesome pictures of Jack. I am glad he finally rewarded you with happiness. Have a wonderful weekend.

ReplyDeleteOdie - oh he definitely knows how to make me work hard, wee monkey :)
ReplyDeleteThisisme - it was worth all the effort and that smile...
IWBY - yes he always makes me suffer for going away but then he can't keep it up for too long! Thankfully.
Skippymom - he's totally gorgeous, even more so when he smiles.
Jumble Mash - that's my boy
Wonder why he was in such a sour mood.

I don't think there is anything "typical" about young Jack...he's truly unique and if you left me for four days I'd make you work for a smile too :-)
ReplyDeleteDitz - cos I haven't left him for that long before. Normally 3 nights at the most :)
ReplyDeleteChief aka Dad - I totally agree, he's very special. Now if I met you, would I actually be able to leave you for 4 whole days? Me thinks not :)
Awww! Jack is so adorable, I just want to give him a hug! I love the pictures :D
ReplyDeleteJax - he likes hugs :)
ReplyDeleteYour son is adorable! Great pictures! : )
