curious Jake
I feel a bit weird comparing my own son to Curious George. But this adorable monkey is so like my little guy …. happy, friendly, smart and has an insatiable curiosity.
Every morning, we watch Curious George at PBS Kids. I enjoy it for it’s humor.
The show teaches him math, science and engineering concepts, so it’s great. But oftentimes, it makes him take a few risks and has gotten him into trouble.
Jake and I talk about what’s okay and not okay for him to do. There are viewing tips here.
We saw an episode titled “Signs Up” where Curious George collected signs from all over town, and puts these signs back in the wrong places causing confusion everywhere.
Like the real kids on the show, Jake got to work and made his own signs, and he explained what they say.
"Don't touch the painting" --- posted at the crate where A's painting is.
"Lemonade here" --- posted next to me while I was making uh.. lemonade. :-)
"Watch out, water!" --- posted below the sink
"No playing soccer in the kitchen" --- because that's the rule, he said.
It makes me and A smile when we see his work, all of them still hanging all over our house.
I’m glad that Jake is like Curious George. He can be mischievous at times, but he sees the world with so much wonder, and he loves to learn and try new things.
I will always nurture his curiosity even if he get scrapes along the way.
