Jeremiah age 5.

With his curly brown hair, big brown eyes, and dimpled smile, Jeremiah is a darling four-year-old whose energy and zest are plentiful and contagious. He is on-the-move from the moment he wakes up until the moment he falls asleep, and he enthusiastically engages his environment every day.

Jeremiah loves any activity that involves physical movement or tactile stimulation. He loves movement songs, such as ''London Bridge is Falling Down,'' and tumbling and running activities. He loves any toy that offers a tactile experience, such as rubber balls with nubs on the outside or toys that vibrate. He will not play with anything that is smooth. He loves being read to, but he's only interested in books that have texture incorporated in the story, such as Pat the Bunny, or are physically interactive in some way, with flaps or pull-tabs. Jeremiah is very physically affectionate and loves to be cuddled and snuggled. He thrives on one-on-one attention from adults and can be easily calmed by rubbing his head. He's quite conversational and will happily chat with nearly anyone for long periods of time.
