Boys have this impulsive curiosity that you typically don't see in girls or well adjusted adults. It's because of this curiosity that even the smartest boys can do some dumb stuff. I know this, if only because I was once a boy. As a boy, I wasn't particularly stupid, but still managed to do some very dumb stuff.
Nate has started to show this spirit. Right now, if there is a chair in the room, he wants to stand on it. Once he gets on the chair, he's immediately looking for the next height to reach. The good thing is that after the inevitable crash and bump, he gets right back up. The cry is short and then he's bounding off to find the next adventure. He's tough.
He's recently taken up running, typically to avoid losing something he shouldn't have, to the parent that's chasing him down the hall. He even runs pretty good for someone still collecting bruises as they learn to master walking.
This is just the start though. It may be a phase, but the phase will probably last till some time in his teens and maybe even longer.
