Jerry's words

This is an update from http://www.nick.org/2007/08/jerrys_language.php. These are all words that Jerry is using regulary - is pronunciation isn’t perfect, of course. =)

a week with Jerry - fun, games, and limits

I took the last week off from Isilon to spend it with my family. My brother-in-law and sister were in town for the week with their three boys, Andrey, Matthew, and Nathan. Katrina came in for two days, mom & dad were here for the week, and Zack took a few days off work. It was a great week of reunion and fun.

The highlight was having lots of time to spend with Jerry. Jerry has bonded strongly with me and I found myself being pulled in one direction or another - he is really beginning to assert himself and exercise his power over me. As expected, this leads to a natural clash of wills. I’ve had some great examples of that:
