I have a son. He is 17 months old. I did not know this until recently, but it turns out that this is a really fun time in the life of a little boy. Everything he gets to do is a learning experience — even spilling one hundred cheerios on the floor (and saying “Cheroos” while doing it). He’s developing concepts, and not always developing them right. It’s a lot of fun, for example, to watch him get to the end of the board book, where they have two boards glued together for the back cover. He insists that its broken. How does he express this? By putting his hands to his head to indicate, from a song his mom taught him, “Broke his head.”  Yep… that’s our concept of broken.

Anyway, getting to observe this little boy (currently on the floor, pointing at the  spot on his finger that he managed to cut on something, and saying “ow!”) is an absolutely wonderful experience. Life changing. Perspective granting. He makes Mondays well worth the effort.
