The convenient aquarium…

We’d like to go visit the Georgia Aquarium someday.  Since we have family out there, it might be someday soon.

Until then though, our nanny’s found work around. She’s taken “field trips” to the Ranch 99 market near our house.  It’s an asian market.  Lots of live seafood available. And well, they let him play with the clams and he loves watching the crabs climb all over each other…

Learning fast from all directions.

He’s picking things up quickly now. Sometimes too quickly (my bad habits).  The strange thing though, is that we’re already not sure where he’s picking these things up from.

We play the game where something is hidden in one of my hands and he needs to guess which hand it is in.  Quickly after that, he was willing to play the part where he hides something in his hands.  His little joke on the game though, is sometimes when I guess the right hand, he shows me the empty hand and laughs. Okay, he’s a little crazy already - but that was expected.

What wasn’t expected was one morning when we were playing, he hid the items behind his back, instead of having both hands out front.  I asked my wife. She didn’t teach him that. I asked the nanny when she came by - and nope, she didn’t teach him that either.  So that was kind of interesting.

Then two days later, he added some flair - as he’d rotate his hands around - sort of like a disco dance move or a false start call in football. I’m guessing this was meant to confuse me - as to which hand would have the treat.  Again, no one taught him that move.

It is a beautiful thing, seeing his creativity blossom.  But I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t a little bit scary too.
