We learned very quickly on that Jack is a reserved child. He does not bask in the glory of being the center of attention. In fact, he shys away from it. Don't get me wrong, he likes his special time in the spotlight from time to time - who doesn't. But he doesn't go chasing after it. He rather give attention to another person in the room instead of hogging it. I really admire that about him. Even though I hate to admit this - I have loved attention my whole life. I have always loved to have all eyes on me. I know it's selfish and even vein at times. I am trying to learn from my son - to deflect selfish attention and focus the attention on others. He is such a simple little boy. I really admire that about him. He much rather have your one-on-one undivided attention more than anything else. (He reminds me a lot of my dad and Justin that way) He is't worried about being a crowd pleaser. He could care less. He has such a quiet strength about him and it so secure in himself. It's amazing what you can learn from a one year old.
