My 18 months old grandson, Shreyas, who is in Bangalore and whom I visited yesterday with my wife on our entry into 35 years of wedded life, was seen by us all the time pushing hard his goals and objectives.
He is quite vehement about certain things being done his own way. You find him always in the kitchen with vessels and laddles or even small spoons, making his own meal of vegetable leaves or even pieces of paper which he will multiply in number with his hands tearing them. He is making noise all the time, his neighbours are bound to say. Certainly, he walks briskly, falls at times and hits his head against the wall or ground.He cries but stops soon. He is keen on going out; is ready to be taken out but only by familiar people.
He has develped attachment to us, his proud grandparents, but always keeps looking for his either of his parents and is not satisfied with our pampering.
At times, Shreyas goes only in search of his mother. He is most often found playing with the cellphone: whenever there is a call, he must be given the instrument and he will babble and will not stop till he closes the call by mistake. He walks and talks like his father loudly but in his baby language comprising sounds. He is thus very fond of answering calls on mobiles and when the landline rings he goes there, and climbs the cot and shelf on the wall and picks up the receiver. After a while he leaves it dangling unable to cover both ends of the receiver. Or presses the speaker button.
On the whole, he is becoming an unmanageble brat which is a symptom of a working and growing individual's brain. All the best to him. As they say, many things need vivid description in person and over hours, and cannot be written down in one blog.
