Solomon is now crazy about keys. His favourite 'toy' is a box of my medicine cabinet keys at my shop, and a basket of house keys at home. He loves to get his hands on any key, then search for any keyhole within his reach. Then he can spend ages trying to fit various keys into the keyhole.
This activity can fascinate and keep him occupied for long periods of time. Thus, I let him have the keys whenever he wants them! This of course has its risks; the main one being missing keys! We have already lost some drawer keys and also the keys to the balcony grille. We suspect that he has thrown them out the window! (BTW: we live on the 10th floor!) This is because he has a history of throwing his little baby pillows out the window. He has tried squeezing big pillows through the window grilles, but luckily they don't fit!
Solomon loves the keyholes on my medicine cabinets at the shop, because they are low enough for him to reach. The door keyholes at home however are a little too high, and he has to tip-toe to reach them. He also likes riding in Daddy's car, because of the keyhole on his glove compartment!
The other day, he insisted on having the house keys when we reached home. Imagine his sheer ecstasy when he then spied row upon row of wonderful keyholes on the letterboxes at the lift lobby!! He was in heaven! I think this must be the stuff his sweetest dreams are made of! Best of all, so many of them were within his reach!
Isn't it wonderful to derive happiness from such simple things? If only we adults were so easy to please! :)
