Work on puzzles? No, thanks.
Sing songs? Um, boring.
Read books? That requires sitting still, right?
This boy is too busy.
Busy wrestling with his older brothers and chasing the cat off the deck.
Too busy to browse books or tinker with puzzles.
He has no interest in learning the names of his body parts and showing off his brilliance with a demonstration.
He'll identify two body parts for you.
His teeth. Which he identifies by chomping his jaws up and down like an alligator.
And the other?
His belly.
Ask this boy where his belly is and he'll scramble to pull his shirt up and reveal it to you.
And I cheer like a crazy person.
Which leaves little motivation for him to learn anything new.
Nailing the teeth and tummy reveal are just enough for him.
And for me, too.
