Communication Skills

My 22 month old grandson taught me how to prepare his milk bottle

A slight pressure against my leg
A small hand tugging at my jeans
Guiding me to the fridge
Pointing at the milk on the shelf
I think I know what this means

I pour it out in his small bottle
He climbs on the tall kitchen chair
Stuck halfway; he asks me "Uppy"
I help him sit properly
As he points at the microwave there
And says "Meep, meep, meep"

The last line had be smiling and giggling.

That's so cute, Noel -- it's lovely how kids can change us and shape us. Their cute little laughs and all, I used to baby sit all the time when I was younger and I could never get enough! They're too cute and this was gorgeous. Definitely portrayed the cuteness.

Thanks Kayleigh. I appreciate you checking this one out. He was here for a visit recently and speaks more now, but this incident will stay with me for years I think.

Clever, you gotta love kids, what did your buddy tell ya?

"that's the great thing about children at that age: it's like being around tiny, volatile, philosophical drunks"

That milk bottle must be sweet. :)

This was about 10 months ago, he talks a lot more now, and I am trying to think how I will write about some of the things he told us last week.
He loves his milk bottle, and stills wants it warmed up.
Thanks for dropping in, and for your review.
