How is it that children are so smart and men are so stupid? It must be education that does it!
~ Alexandre Dumas, fils
Between the two of us, Colin and I have spent forty-four years of our lives in school. We'd like to think this quote does not apply to us but we're humble enough to acknowledge that it just might do. We believe adamantly, however, that our little Jacob is a budding genius. To that effect, we've started him on a highly specialized curriculum called, let's have fun!
(You can click on the images to see them in a larger size.)
Jake's first books are: Goodnight Moon, Where the Wild Things Are, Barnyard Dance and The Hungry Little Caterpillar. He will be a literary man, he will.
About a week ago we went out and got him his very own little play gym and a sqeaky giraffe toy. Merlin was a leeetle bit jealous.
Of course, there's nothing like a little bit of real world advice and insight from The Dad. I believe that in these photos Colin is explaining to Jacob that burping is a manly art and should be practiced from a very young age.
Doesn't our little boy look like a smartypants?

I love the pictures of Jake and his Daddy.
By the way, I can see that Jake is farsighted. It's amazing how he can read those books that are at such a distance from him!
I had the hungry little catepillar - my favourite book! Love the photos - you have an adorable baby!
