My sweet sensitive boy

We get a lot of library books for Jackson since he really loves when we read to him.  Since Halloween was not too long ago, we still have a "ghost story" type book geared to the young elementary set checked out.

Lee noticed that when he gets that book out and ask Jackson if he wanted to read it, he did some strange posturing.  His arms would go out stiff and his head would turn hard to the left.  (This is not a completely unusual thing for Jackson to do, but it was unusual for him to do it when presented with a book.)  Same thing happened the next two times he got the book out.  When Lee would ask if he wanted a different book, Jackson would vocalize yes.

Today Lee asked me to try, and Jackson did the same thing.  I asked him if he didn't like that book and he vocalized yes.  Then I asked him if he thought the book was too scary.  Yep, that's the reason he doesn't like it...poor kiddo!
