What’s That?

What’s that?

The littlest grandson doesn’t often get written about on this blog. He’s just now walking and beginning to really interact with his world so I anticipate that will be changing quickly. 

Although he is a man of few words at this point, it has become apparent that he is curious by nature. In fact, his curiosity often gets him in trouble as he attempts to literally scale anything in his way. 

My daughter has resorted to laying the kitchen chairs down just to keep him from climbing atop the kitchen table. Wall anchors have been utilized to keep furniture and the television securely in place. What is interesting about all this is that his older brother seemed to be more content unscrewing a child sized screw from his toy toolbox rather than climbing out of his crib at the same age. 

This past weekend we got to babysit the youngest while his older brother attended a rodeo with his parents, and aunt and uncle. It was almost bedtime when they left so Chuck and I did not have long to entertain the littlest one. 

What I found most endearing was the way he would toddle around the house pointing his finger, and asking clearly, “What’s that?” I would provide the information requested, and he would move on to the next thing. He seemed quite fascinated with the coffee maker, and asked several times specifically about its name. 

He is such a quiet, sweet natured boy who loves to be held, and sports a dimple when he smiles. I’m excited to see that his curious nature is promoting him to ask more about his world. Although, I have to wonder how many just turned one year olds’ first words are questions?
