B&S's Babyblog

Almost daily (weather permitting), we make sure that our baby spends some time outside. In the last several days he wants to spend all the time that he is awake outside, pointing to cars as they go by, and raving about pick-up trucks and Jeeps.

He becomes frustrated if we don't get out quickly, and brings me both his shoes and mine, before he starts pointing to the door and making all kinds of noises to make me drop whatever I'm doing to take him to outdoor heaven.

Could there be something inside our home bothering him? I doubt it. Far more likely is that he simply inherited a gene from some members of daddy's family, or that he is going through a phase of wonder and fascination with the larger, open and beautiful spaces that surround us.

In general, I like this part of his personality. It only bothers me that Benjamin doesn't seem to care whether it's cold, or too windy, or even raining. He wants to get out now! and every now and then daddy feels like staying inside would really be best.
