A lesser known fact about Dekker is that he absolutely cannot sit still. I don’t even mean that he’s always hyper or rowdy, but in general, he just has ants in his pants. When given the opportunity at school, he always opted for a standing desk. He can hardly sit at the table without gradually moving into a squat on his chair. He just wiggles and wiggles.
Back in winter, I took some pictures to document it. It is the most prominent when he reads. Its like he can’t find a comfy spot. I assure you NONE of these poses were coached by me. He is either unaware of me taking his picture, or I walked in on him in these positions.
Some are much more common than others, but things like sitting upside down on the chair was not a one time thing. He just does it. I don’t know why, but I am not mad at it in the slightest. I think he’s adorable.
Its not for show or for attention. If I poke fun at him, he’ll definitely smirk and giggle back, but he immediately dips back to his book and is instantly lost back in dreamland, completely oblivious to the world around him.
I love that he is such a reader. Never saw it coming.
