Picture For This Day


One of the random prop books on the shelves at the furniture store was an encyclopedia book for kids (teens and older). Kiernan asked about book shelves, and I pointed out this prop book. He opened it. As luck would have it, there was a picture of Jupiter inside.

He paged through the book, stopping at one of the Jupiter pages to read a paragraph to me. A paragraph. This isn't a great picture, but you can see the text in this book is normal book text. This isn't a book for children.

I'm just so taken by his love of learning.

What a great picture; what a great feeling to imagine being inside Kiernan's passionate little head.

A paragraph, wow. What did you learn?

And this wonderfully amazing little boy has a father who, at 4 years old, walked down the stairs of his grandmother and grandfather Prince's home in Pittsburgh on Christmas morn and said as he looked in awe, but with great composure, at the Christmas spectacular before him, "Look at all this equipment, Mom!"
