There was a little girl who had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead;
When she was good, she was very, very good,
And when she was bad she was horrid.
Are you familiar with this nursery rhyme? Other than girl and curl, this rhyme perfectly describes our little Jakie. When he is good, he is very, very good. He is super sweet and adorable. But when he is bad, he is horrid. He hits. He bites. He tells you he doesn't like you. He screams. He chases you to attack you. He's really rather amusing, but in a "Oh my gosh...who is that child?!" kind of way.
He switches from good to bad without much provocation--a missed nap, a thwarted request, it doesn't always take much to turn the switch. Yes, Jake is the best of children and the not best of children. (I won't say worst because I can imagine a lot worse than he is!)
