Just prior to turning 2, nosotros bought him a 'Skins' yearbook and he would inquire who the players were. Soon, he could name EVERY histrion listed inside that guide.

So… I was taking Jackson around getting autographs from some of his favorite players and I spied Sean Taylor. Jackson walks upwardly with his book open, sees the 21 bailiwick of jersey and has a freudian skid. He says, "Alibi me Mr. Smoot. Will you please sign my yearbook?"

Before I can correct him, Taylor says, "I'd be happy to sign your book. What's your proper noun?"

"Jackson."

Taylor says, "Well Jackson., my proper name is Sean and I'g very pleased to run into you. "

He signs the book, and Jackson squeals, "Thanks!" , to which Taylor replies, "Thank you for coming out to practice today."

I was thoroughly impressed with the style Taylor handled the situation. Many players don't interact with the people they are signing for. They step, sign, step, sign. Sean Taylor took the time to make the moment special.

I know one, very happy 5 year sometime who agrees."
