Samuel

My son has the attention span of an infant.

I guess that's fitting since, well... he is. Anyway, he has a few of those 'Baby Einstein' videos that are colorful and musical and he loves them. I guess 'loves them' is a poor choice of words. He studies it like the Zapruder Film. Put the thing in, give him something to chew on and he's fine for quite awhile. My wife and I used to discuss that maybe he'll be an engineer or architect since he pays so close attention to the shapes and movement but we've come to realize that he's just got a thing for one of the girls. That's my boy. Development and education take a back seat to girls as sweet as meadow wind with flowing hair:

Every time this girl pops up on the TV he smiles or 'coos' or sometimes jumps frantically in his exersaucer. (if the exersaucer be rocking, don't some knocking). He's out of luck, though. He's the Christopher Reeve guy in "Somewhere in Time". I did a little rough math and by the dates on the video, she's probably 20 years old by now. Older women... that's my boy.

Of course, my endless comparison between us lead me to wish I had that kind of attention. I can't even sit through a movie once anymore let alone over and over. Even if it's a good one. Like "Xanadu."
