Ouch!

First "incident" at school this week. The teachers did not see what happened, but from what Jack says another boy (who we shall refer to as "the tackler") tried to tackle him and he would not let him. He is healing well and has forgiven The Tackler, after The Tackler's profuse apologies and expressed regret...though I am not sure if the regret stems from sincere remorse or the fact that he has a strict mom and had to deal with a mad teacher and a mad mommy... :)

Snakes

Jack's new snakes. Doriana - this one is for you :) The ones he forgot to bring to lunch.
