Step Away From The Book

I had some free time yesterday and starting reading my “What to Expect” book. I should have expected that I would just start to fret about M’s development. He’s almost 9 months old now and still has no teeth, scoots around on his belly but doesn’t crawl, can’t play pattycake, doesn’t speak in baby sign language, can’t play the violin or recite sonnets, and sleeps most of the day away.

And the other day, I read some article about child genii who started to read at 10 months and got their Ph.Ds while in diapers. When I read to M, he just tries to eat the book. I like to think that he’s revolutionizing reading the way the iPad will revolutionize publishing. Both are changing the way we “consume” media.
