Hard Day At the Office

It was a hard day at the office today......OK, for you that have followed my blog for a while know that I'm a freelance writer and only work when the mood strikes me. But, my niece called and asked if we'd babysit our great-nephew Jordan today. So, all the stuff I'd planned to do, I rescheduled and I palled around with him all day.
He's four years old and way smarter than he should be at this stage in his life. Today, every time he wanted something, I made him spell it out.
He loves to be tickled more than any child I've ever known, so the CLAW OF EVIL, and the CLAW OF DESTRUCTION had their way with him. In the past, he would say STOP, STOP, so that he could catch he breath. But today, I made him spell STOP or I'd keep on tickling.
When he wanted something to drink he had to spell WATER or TEA or whatever he wanted. He was sick of the game by days end, but he could spell like a second grader :)
Here or a few of my favorite pictures I've taken of him over the last few years.
