Grandson

     My grandson is about fifteen months old, walking, not running, climbing, a one man demolition squad. While he can say mumma, he is not talking. With prompting he can place his dirty diaper in the diaper pail in the next room. He enjoys making a mess when he eats, even getting food in his sparse hair. One of his favorite activities is being in the stroller and seeing things. He also likes to remove puzzle pieces and not replace them. He is tall for his age and likes to reach up and grab things. Baby proofing is essential. I showed him how to blink this week, which is something he has never done before. It is amazing how quickly they will learn. (So far, he only blinks with me) We have gone to a little zoo, a park, the library, and a outdoor mall. (Possible in southern CA. Not possible in New England. The weather is definitely better here but one pays a huge price in the cost of housing and of living in general.)
"The righteous who walks in integrity--- blessed are his children after him." (Proverbs 20:7 ESV)
"Even a child makes himself known by his acts, by whether his conduct is pure and upright." (Prov. 20:11)
     Last week i was with some Portuguese speaking friends and they kept mentioning a word that sounded like the country of Peru. Eventually they told me that the word meant "turkeys." My education continues.
    I am trying to relearn French along with continuing in Portuguese. Unfortunately i am also starting to confuse the two.
     God is faithful.
