Oscar’s secret life

I came home a little early today to hear Nanny Norma standing at the top of the staircase telling Oscar “Oscar do it only” [translation - do it yourself, Oscar].  Alarmed, I run over to the stairwell and peer down to see my not-yet 14 month old son scaling the stairs on his own – and doing so incredibly quickly.  She tells me to go downstairs (we both mind Nanny Norma) and he then came down the stairs even more quickly.  It had not dawned on me until that moment that I have really no idea what the two of them do with themselves during the day.  Whatever it is, it appears to be more productive than the time we spend together playing all weekend long.
