It is truely amazing to see a one year olds mind at work. Yesterdy afternoon Jeb and I were reading a book about Tommy the dog. on one of the pages there is a picture of Tommy playing with a ball. Jeb points to the picture and says dog which he has done on every page since there is a picture of Tommy on every page. Then the cool part comes. He looks at the page, then he looks at Muneca (his dog) then he gets up goes across the room gets his ball and takes it over to Muneca. It seems like a small thing but when you consider how much thought actually goes into somethng like that, it is pretty cool.
That was the exciting part of yesterday. The so nice part was a little latter in the afternoon when Jeb tripped over my dumbbells that were sitting on the tile floor. He is always tripping over something. Sometimes he cries and sometimes he does not. My reaction is usually just to take him away from the area where he fell and give him something else to do to make him forget about the fall. That is what I did yesterday. I picked up some toys and set him on my bed to play. "You're ok Bubu" is what I am telling him. Janet (Jebs mom) walked over a second later to notice that he has a mouth full of blood. OK? yes Maybe needs a little bit of attention? yes. We got him an ice cube ina damp towel to suck on and the bleeding stopped very quickly. Just another bump on the road to becoming a man.
We went on our bike ride last night and Jeb fell asleep almost as soon as we started. He looks very cute sitting on the back of the bike, eyes closed with helmet cocked to the side.
