Jackson Can, Too

Jackson can perform all the baby tricks that Genevieve can, but he usually chooses not to do so. He can stand unaided. Yes, Genevieve will stand for longer periods of time. She likes performing for her adoring audience. Jackson has better things to do with his time.




He's a busy guy.



Who has time to stand around?



Jackson can walk holding on to the little ride-on cars just like Genevieve does. He has done so a couple of times. Genevieve is a little more skilled because she practices. Her mom works with her on pre-walking skills much more than she works with Jackson. Genevieve is a delight to work with. She smiles and laughs and does what you want her to do.

Jackson is not fun to work with. He has noodle knees and usually won't even try to perform. He does not focus on the task at hand. He has his own agenda and crawls away right in the middle of your pep talk. Genevieve would never do that. She likes listening to us. Not so Jackson.

So, I just wanted to set the record straight. Genevieve is not that much more advanced than her twin brother. Jackson can perform when he wishes to. We haven't found the right motivation yet.
