Nana, where is the kilt?

[Pleater]

Most of this year I have been looking after my grandson 9 to 5 during weekdays and he has become used to being able to take a nap or a rest sitting on my knee with the apron of my kilt over him to keep him cosy.

Last week I wore trousers for two days and he was most perplexed to find that this useful accessory was unaccountably absent, even though he looked for it - life is such a puzzling thing when you are just 8 months old.

This week I put on a kilt again, and I just wish I'd had a camera to record the delighted expression on his face. I noticed that he kept a firm hold on the fringe just in case someone tried to steal it again.

Amusing anecdote I find it amazing sometimes at how much personality a wee bean can show at such a young age. Thanks for sharing!

LOL! That's so cute!

Oh that child has personality in spades.

He has just in the last few days become able to pull himself upright and reach all sorts of wonderful things - and although not quite crawling he can move around by pushing and pulling himself along. Nothing is safe.

The first time he managed to get himself up onto his back legs unaided he turned and looked at me with exactly the same triumphant expression his father had when he did the same thing a quarter century earlier.

With the grandson I have the time to watch for the interesting milestones - a couple of weeks ago he stopped looking at the finger when I pointed. One day he looked at the pointing finger, the next his head turned to gaze along the line of pointing.

Ecce Homo sapiens.
