Keep on Trying

Jacob has a DVD called Elmo's Potty Time. There is a segment that shows kids trying to do things and trying and trying until they get it. There's also a catchy little song in the background that repeats the words "keep on trying." One of the kids in the video is trying to blow bubbles. Jacob loves that part. Once he sees it he wants to try too. He NEVER blows any bubbles.

Well, we haven't seen that DVD in a while. But out of the blue, last Saturday, Jacob starts asking......begging for bubbles (buggahs). So I sighed, gave in, and handed them over. FIRST TRY, he was blowing bubbles. He blew bubbles for a minute or so before I thought to get the camera. We were almost out of bubbles by the time we started taping, but he still managed to get some out. How surprising! I guess if you never let them try, you'll never know what they can do!
