Jake is a good artist and loves to draw. He sits down on a daily basis and draws on a doodle drawing board. He does it everyday several times when bored or watching tv. It is neat to see him put so much time and detail into his drawings. At school Jacob’s teacher said in the 9 years of teaching she has never seen a kid his age draw with such detail. He draws a lot of farm machinery and trucks. The funny thing, he cannot make his letters very well at all. I have been working with Jake on writing Jacob since he started school. I don’t think it has gotten any better. It will come, Jayden was a late writer too. I have also been doing lessons in the learning to read book. Jake is doing well. His attention span is soo short, it is hard. He can read several words now, but it is hard for him. He doesn't get frustrated, just doesn't like to do it very long.
For the past two years or more, Jacob has a fascination with Richard Scary Busy People books. He loves to sit and look at all the little details on the page. There are characters of Huckle and Lowly, Mr. Fumble, all animal characters. The pages are busy scenes of all kinds of things. On car rides, we just take a book along and he is quiet for hours. He will look at the same books over and over too. He never gets tired of them.
