Meet Preston

Preston is the son of my field mentor, Jamie. He is almost 15 months old and I have the privilege of getting to watch him once a week while Jamie is at school. This week is finals week for her so I get to watch Preston three days in a row. Anyway, it is really fun to see all of the new things he is learning. He is learning what words mean, like stop. And I am getting to see him learn how to obey. Today we were eating lunch at the restaurant down the street and he has the tendency to want to run out of the eating area towards to street or towards a fish "pond." As soon as I saw him making a beeline for the street I said, "Preston, stop!" And he did. Then he took off towards the fish pond. I told him to wait. i didn't think he was going to but as soon as he got to the edge of the concrete he stopped and waited so that we could go over to the fish pond together.

I could fill up this blog with stories of all the hilarious things Preston does, but I won't. However, I think he deserves at least one entry seeing as I spend at least a day a week with him, sometimes more; and because he is just so cute!
