Two stage manipulation

Quinn wanted onto mommy's lap. Gramma was between him and mommy. He crawled over to Gramma and put up his arms to be picked up, brightening Gramma right up. Unfortunately once picked up he then immediately put his arms out to be taken to mommy. He's done that once with me too. Smart kid. It didn't take him long to figure that out.

We're also having to train him out of pointing and screaming to have something brought to him. I think the family blitz of Christmas in Nova Scotia has taught him why do anything himself when it's quicker and easier to have someone do it for you. Except for the things that he insists on doing for himself of course.

As an engineer, I guess I can't argue with his logic. Over time we'll have to make sure he uses his powers only for the the forces of good.
