The Keymaster

[ty]

I'm not sure when he made the connection, but Nubby has realized the relationship between keys and locks. Combine this with our perpetually locked basement door in the kitchen that is often opened but never left open and you have an 18 month old boy who spends 20 minutes a day working on his lock-picking skills. His tenacity is impressive as the below video will attest to. If you listen carefully you can hear him say three things. The first is unintelligible, the second is a garbled "help please", and I think the third is "okay".

Notice also the impressive crescent shaped bruise on his cheek from slamming his face into a hanging ladle.

Erm... your wife and I each helped him figure out how to put keys into locks. Sorry.

It's great fine motor skills practice!

Watch how closely he listens to the wheels rattle around in a combo lock... that was me too. (Just KIDDING!)

Sweet. Now all he needs is to learn how to put pantyhose over his head and we'll be ready to hit the local banks! Cayden-set your watch to 0800....now. Omaha! Omaha!
