Pictures like these make me (as a mommy, and a teacher, and a lover of reading) so proud! Grandma Wiers described Jeremiah as not "having a lot of 'sit'" in him, and that is so true. Usually he is all over the place playing with his toys, getting dish towels out of the drawer for mommy, chasing after Molly, etc. BUT, he will also sit down by his bookshelf and just look and look and look at his books! This afternoon he sat for a good 20 minutes looking at book after book (for a 1 year old, that's pretty good, right?!?!?). Of course, he never sticks with 1 book for very long, but that will come, I'm sure! :) Here's a video of him "reading" (it might be a bit boring for anyone besides grandparents!).
Of course, Jeremiah is also showing more and more interest in the TV, and was pretty into one of the March Madness games last night after his bath. And that makes his daddy proud. :)
And one more picture, because he's cute.
Great pictures of Jeremiah with his books.I'll bet it will not be long and you will have him trained to put the books all back in the basket when he is finished reading. The after bath picture is adorable,too.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed with his attention span! And I didn't see him try to chew on the books at all, which is pretty amazing for his age. And you know what his Grandpa always says, "Readers are leaders!"
ReplyDeleteLooks like he was doing research in those books. Be aware that it won't be long and he'll need two computers to do his research on.
