Fun in Florida

To keep himself entertained, Miles discovered two unique things in his grandmother's kitchen. The first was a set of drawers that contained pots in one drawer, lids in another and hot pads in a third. He began to use the hot pads to pick the lids up from the pots like mom and dad do when they are cooking. Smart boy!
The second thing he discovered was the cereal closet. He began by removing all the boxes of cereal and standing on them like he does with his books at home. Then, when he discovered the adults weren't too keen on him standing on the boxes, he would clear the top shelf and climb into it. Then he discovered that he could close the cabinet doors and play peek-a-boo with whomever was on the other side.
Another cute thing: We were driving in the car to see Harry and Kristen and Clovis. Miles was in the back in his car seat, babbling away to himself as he often does. Suddenly, he lets out a peal of laughter and Jeff said, "I love it when he tells himself a funny joke." Later, as the adults were sitting around and I recalled this event, Jeff pointed out Miles' model- we talk and then we laugh, we talk and then we laugh. He gets it!
I have a 2 1/2 min. video of him playing with the pots but it is taking forever to get up here. If I can post it, I will.
