Over the last year I’ve had a chance to
get to know an interesting person—my grandson, now fourteen months old. I see
him almost every day and sometimes spend most of my day with him. Rather than
being boring, this has been an entertaining and informative experience for me. One
of the lessons I’ve learned from him is how to improvise.
He loves pushing toy trucks and cars
around the floor of our house when he comes to visit. We have a number of toy
vehicles for him, but even when they have been put away, he finds a way to
improvise. In the kitchen we have a cupboard where we keep empty containers and
container covers for him to pull out and play with. When the cars and trucks
aren’t available, he will grab a plastic lid and push it around the kitchen.
When you can’t find a car, you make do.
