attention spans

I'm still adjusting to the variety of attention spans Daniel displays. For example, when he's engrossed in "Nemo," he might not even notice when dad walks in the room - and that's like ignoring an 800-pound gorilla: hard to do. But when we're painting in the greenhouse, I 'm just getting started when he's "all done, mama" and ready to move on to something else. Is it any wonder toymakers make a fortune every year and some kids have whole rooms of toys and still whine "I'm bored!"
