Nathan, the People Person

Nathan, my first grandson looks so much taller when he stands next to the little sister, Gracie since we last saw him just six months ago. Kids grow really fast. But what impresses me most is his language skill. He even corrected my pronunciation when he heard me saying "sheep" which sounded to him likes "ship". He said, it should be "she...eep" emphasizing the letter E :).

He is still the little charming people-person. But, I could sense that as he grows, he slowly begins to realize that not all people are "nice and friendly" after all. He started to be more selective in the types of close friends and casual friends to have.


His favorite toy is still Lego but he now dwells more into the characters of these toy creations from the many of block busters movies that he comes to know about. Faced with my dwindling ability to remember names, it is just incredible to see this little fellow's ability to say names after names of all the characters of these fantasy worlds!

He still loves to listen to stories. But then after the bedtime story, he is no longer happy to go straight to sleep without a session of conversation - sort of man-to-man talk on any subject that comes to mind. He is clearly growing up!

I believe that as long as his need to articulate his deeper thought and feeling is not curbed, he would someday emerge as a formidable speaker!
