My DS (aged 20 months) was rummaging around in the bag of books we hadjust brought back from the library. I assumed he was looking for theThomas the Tank Engine books he borrowed (he has his own ticket and hasdone for well over a year). But next time I looked, he was sat in thecentre of the settee with a large hardback quilting book open on hislap.I smiled at him, and he smiled back. He was flicking through the pages.Some he just flicked past - obviously nothing on that page that caughthis eye. Sometimes he would point at something and say "look" (actually,he says "wuck", but I know what he means), or "wow".So I thought - he just likes the bright colours and regular patterns.That's the kind of thing babies like looking at, isn't it? But then hepointed at a page and said - clear as anything - "Quilt". He says itclearer than his 3 1/2 year-old sister, who still says "twilt". DS isflicking through the pages of a quilting book, pointing at pictures andsaying "quilt", "quilt", "wuck, quilt". My son.
