DS10.10

I wanted to add this photo to DS10's Multiply album, but it didn't work. Now I can't see any of his photos in that album. I'll deal with that problem later. Multiply seems to be not working well for me the past few days.

I took this photo yesterday at G-Mas. I thought it was the perfect example of how different DS10 is from anyone else. Nothing about this child has been conventional. He is truly a unique, wonderful, human being.

A typical kid would use the pillow for their head. Not my son. His head is on the floor and the pillow is for his feet! Also, the typical kid would probably play DS sitting upright.

Jared has always kept me guessing. From the moment I learned he was going to be a boy, I had assumed incorrectly, that he would be exactly like his big brother. He came out looking completely different, yet still resembling DH & I. DNA is fascinating.

Where as Jakob was an easy going, kicking back and taking it all in kind of baby, Jared was the polar opposite. I'll never forget the first time he looked at me. I knew he was a thinker. I just didn't know how different his thinking would be!

Jared can come up with the correct answer, but when he tries to explain to me how he figured it out, he loses me. His thought pattern process is abstract to me.

I thank God we've been able to allow him to learn from life, at home and in the world around us. Jared doesn't fit into a mold. When something interests him, it becomes an obsession and he needs to be given the freedom to truly explore something to his heart's content.

That's a great photo. He is comfortable that way and that's all he cares about. Your not the only one with problems on Multiply, mine has been slow and I wasn't getting any updates for a few hours, now they have all popped up. Seems like Multiply is still in the process of their move. Lets hope it won't be much longer now. Have a wonderful day!

I had Multiply pic problems last week. Said they uploaded fine but they weren't there. If you clicked on where they should be then they would show up. I ended up deleting them + uploading again a few days later. Strange.

I think it's wonderful to be able to notice differences in children and let them do their thing. :o) Both of your boys sound very creative and seem to be big thinkers! :o)
