Concentration

AJ is definitely growing up. It's amazing to compare his attention span now to a year ago. Books that I used to figure "oh, these have way too many words on a page", now keep him interested for a half hour.

Such was the case last night. This book came with a CD, so he was able to "read" the book while I was playing with Sydney. He did a pretty good job of following along and turning the pages at the appropriate time.

Earlier in the week, he played legos for hours on end. If I remember right, the creations below were both "good robots".


I've had way too much on my plate this week. How do I know? Besides the obvious tell-tale signs of stress and lack of sleep, I've noticed it's been a challenge to come up with things to write about on this blog. I suspect my kids are being no less creative than normal. I've just been too distracted to notice some of the unusual things they're so good at saying and doing.
