Eww... looks like 4 months have passed since my last post...
Our son:
And now for some stories:
At about 15 months:
He was carrying around 2 of his bath toys (one in each hand), he also had a thing for closing doors. He wanted to close the door to his bedroom, since his hands were full, he set the toys down and started to pull the door closed, the door stopped at the toys. Instead of just pulling harder, he pushed the door open, grabbed the 2 toys, and set them outside the door, then went back to pull the door closed! All I could think was “That’s my boy”!
About 18 months:
My son was watching the dogs drink their water, he walked up to the water bowl, and bowed his head and licked the air… leaving my wife and I in stitch’s…
Around 19 months:
My father gave us a computer for my son, (I felt he was ready to start, my wife did not think he would be interested). Being a lover of computers I wanted to give my son an early start J
We got it setup, I sat my son on my lap and opened up the web sites for the shows he watches in the morning, to my delight, it loved it, and now insists on using the computer daily (sometimes multiple times a day).
The day after we got it setup, while I was at work, he grabbed my wife’s finger and pulled her over to the computer, pulled out the chair (an office chair on wheels), and pointed to the computer and said his version of up (ba). “That’s my boy”!
Another 19 month story:
My wife and son were out in the backyard enjoying the early-spring weather with our 2 dogs… They were doing their usual “rough” play. Apparently my son wanted to put a stop to it… he ran over to the dog and yelled, “no; down”
I can’t express how much fun it is to watch him learn about the world around us. It’s very fascinating to watch his study how something works, and then figure it out…
