Nate's personality is rolling out.
We now know he's fascinated with music. He loves to dance and will even sing on occasion. His favorite toy is modeled after an old AM transistor radio and plays randomized bits of classical music, with that kid's toy type tinniness. He walks around with it playing, only stopping to dance or pick up the next thing he finds in the other hand.
We are also finding out that he likes to entertain people. He's already been noted as a class clown at daycare, and we are seeing it more and more at home. If he can make someone laugh then he'll play the joke and work the room, searching for more people to join in, until everyone stops laughing.
Other than that he's just easy going and active. He rarely stays in the room you set him down in for long, and rarely complains when you shuffle him around or take something away.
We should be thankful that he's as easy going as he is, because it softens the interactions with his sister. She has a tendency to want every toy the moment he picks it up, and won't refrain from snatching it from his hands seconds later. While this would have thrown her into an epic tantrum at the same age, it rarely registers more than a whimper from the little brother.
Nate and Lil's budding relationship is both fascinating and touching to watch. I have no illusions that it will be all smooth sailing, but as each develops and their interactions become more complex, it only creates more layers for a bond that will hopefully last long after I'm gone.
