Leo is busy from morning to night, turing up in places I would never expect! But for me, it is a wonderful thing. His curiosity, his creativity and his excitment towards simple things is amazing and beautiful. He clims on the sofa, on the bed, on little chairs, little boxes, etc. How did he get there? Next he is playing with the taps in the tub or with the toilet paper. He sometimes gets soaked with water while playing with the taps. Water just fascinates him. Later he is off to help me with the chores, soon all the laundry is scattered on the floor. A toddler's curiosity can drive some parents crazy. He gets into purses and bags. Sometimes I will find my keys in the most weird places. How did you think about that? But I just love to watch and I am one of those Mom's that encourage that kind of behaviours on little ones. I chose to not get frustrated because the pantry is messy or I may have to rewash some of my laundry, tupperware or pots. Why? Because:
- Exploring is normal and important for children to do;
- Exploring is one of the first steps in learning about objetcs and solve problems;
- Toddlers are just fascinated about how things work, feel and how they look from the inside;
