It’s surprising, and sometimes scary, to realize how much Oliver picks up from watching me. A little while ago, Kay gave Oliver a haircut with the electric clippers. After she finished, she let Oliver look at the clippers. He picked them up and began to rub the clippers over his cheeks. I guess that he has watched me shave in the morning more than I realized! I hadn’t thought of it before, but the clippers do sound quite similar to my razor.
Last weekend, Kay gave Oliver another haircut. Later that day he was watching as I shaved. He kept reaching for my razor, so when I finished I handed it to him. I expected him to mimic me shaving; instead, Oliver took the razor and started rubbing it over his hair! Life sure is confusing when you’re 15 months old.
