As Jack is getting older and or my techniques are getting better, his techniques are getting better. More often I can appeal to his desire to please rather than threaten or bribe him. He is also appealing to my desire to please.
Jack: Laying on a large float tube, (speaking in Jackanese): Mom, you lifs me up?
Mom: Honey, I can't lift you and that float tube up, it would hurt my back.
Jack: Mom, you lifs me up, you a dest Mom eddo (ever). If you not lifs me up you not a dest Mom eddo.
Mom: Sorry, Honey, I don't want to have to lay in bed all day with a hurt back.
Jack acting dejected: Aw-yight
It almost worked, I really wanted to lift all 5o lbs of him up while he was lying on top of a gigantic float tube.
