Oh, I've bathed that toddler. Fortunately for me, they're much easier to deal with when they are really toddlers, and not anywhere near 6'2"!

You know, it does seem to be the way brains go, long plateaus, followed by an amazing surge of growth, followed by another plateau. I laugh about how my kids, when they are under the age of 10 or so, subscribe to the quantum theory of birthdays. They think that they are significantly more grown up at 9 years than they were at 8 years and 364 days. In some ways though, they do grow up in spurts like this, so their view isn't as cutely wrong as we would like to think.

Btw, you might want to fix the little HTML bobble in the last line where the end italics is missing its "i". I'm the queen of that type of mistake. There's a reason why I scored in the 40th percentile on clerical speed and accuracy when I was tested for it!

Damn, I just noticed that mistake, too. AGH. *fixing*

This one all came about because I remembered having written a scene in "Changes" when Sam first comes back where Daniel mentions Jack's throwing a fit when Janet and a nurse tried to bathe him. :)

I've been reading a wonderful book that deals with a man suffering a TBI, called Where is the Mango Princess? and it has been giving me ideas for these ficlets. So expect more! :)
