Two-and-one-half-year-old Henry and I walked hand-in-hand down the colorful carpeted hallway
en route to join his parents in their hotel room. “Henry, what room are you in?” I inquire knowing that he is way too young to possibly know, let alone remember, the answer to my question. “Bubba, 211,” he proudly declares. I have trouble catching my breath. “Can you help me find the way to room 211?” I ask pretending to be casual. I’m shocked when this mini human in his rock climbing work boots and snowsuit overalls directs me down two different hallways and then suddenly stops. He points his little finger up at the door number sign four feet above him. I look and see the oval sign on the door that says “211.” Still in amazement, I ponder if toddlers today are taught to be more aware of their surroundings or if my little grandson is brilliant. After a split second I decided it was obvious that Henry is just brilliant.
