After the last post, you might think CJ is still sick when you look at this picture...
Nope. I'm just a delinquent parent. There aren't many opportunities for me to "get things done" around the house, so when Will is asleep, and CJ is amenable to playing by himself, I tend to jump on the opportunity and get b.u.s.y! I was trying to load pictures on the computer last week, and CJ was quietly occupying himself looking at things in the office drawer. I have already pulled out everything that he could get into and do serious damage with, so don't think I was letting him play with scissors and staple removers... I'm not that delinquent. But nonetheless, I wasn't paying close attention to what he was doing. I would glance down, and he would be looking at my stationary, taking markers out of a box and putting them back in or playing with a clicky-eraser. I wasn't going for developmentally appropriate at this point, I was just thankful he was entertained. But then I heard sounds of displeasure. Turns out, he found my self-inking address stamper and somehow figured out how to insert his finger between the stamp and ink pad. Here's what ensued...
He is pointing at himself saying "C, C, help. C, C help." Here is is pointing at himself, or "C..."
and signing help with his sad little black finger...
