Accompanying my sister in law with her errands, I sat at the back seat with my nephew in his safety chair next to me. Almost 2 years old, his learning curve is accelerating by the day!
I waited in the car with him while my sister went to the bakery. I didn't want Armand
to fall asleep cause we had to go to my aunts house. I found his toy and it would entertain him and keep him awake for the rest of the car trip.
It was a toy dashboard with steering wheel indicators and side mirrors and all. A perfect toy for Armand who loves playing with all the buttons and steering wheel.
I looked for the ON button. I flipped it upside down and was looking for it everywhere. After a minute i gave up and passed it to him
"I can't switch it on. but play with this Armand'.
I turned away for a second and next thing i know i heard the sound of a toy engine being switched on.
I looked at him and he just looked at me like it was no big deal.
"Armand how did you switch it on?!"
I looked at the toy again and realized he switched it on by turning the toy ignition key. Smart kid, he watches people drive that's how he knows how to switch it on.
So I tested him.....or was it for him to show his aunt how to switch it on....I tu
rned the ignition key...and he just simply turned the ignition key again and the toy switched on.
I laughed at myself.....I was searching for the ON
OFF button and my almost 2 year old nephew manage to turn it on.
The older I get doesn't mean I know more!
**Moral of the story. Its not about age, Armand my 2 year old nephew has alot to teach me.**
Was looking through my pictures, this is what I found while writing this entry.
This is Armands' ritual. When we take him anywhere, he will insist on playing in the car for at least 10 minutes. My dad tell us that when ever he switches on his engine everything is on, indicator lights, windshield wipers etc.....Armand was playing with his car the day before.
When was the last time someone unexpected taught you something new?
