ATTENTION SPAN
Journaling Reads:
Little boys your age cannot sit still for more than three minutes. They run from place to place and destroy everything along the way. You certainly cause your share of destruction but I am always amazed at the length of your attention span.

A week ago, we went to the Google family picnic and I was worried that you'd quickly lose interest and want to come back home. But, I was totally wrong. One of the areas was full of little beads that you could string into a furry wire and make bracelets and I knew this would be your very favorite part of the picnic, so I took you there and got a mini bowl of beads and a few wires so we could sit down and play together. I figured it would keep you busy for at least a few minutes.

Two hours later, you were still putting the beads on and taking them off and putting them back on without showing any sign of boredom. If I didn't insist that we leave to look at the other sections, you could have spent another three hours with the beads.

When you were born, I was worried you might have your dad's ADD, but it turns out that when it comes to attention, you've taken after me. When you're doing something you love, you get lost in that world.

Isn't it wonderful?
