Alec, the Argumentative Grandson

Alec, my third grandson, appears to be like his dad Russel with inexhaustible energy as a child.

Alec, during his prenatal days,  was giving his parents a bad time

during their sleep. giving them his karate kicks! And when he was seven months old, his parents had to go to Tacloban  to do medical mission to the Yolanda-ravaged area, he was left under the care of a relative. The poor woman lost her tooth not under the care of a dentist, but it was the power of Alec's seeming karate kick though inadvertently done, while Alec was sound asleep.

Alec could speak some words but he argues with his hand motion as seen above. Arguing with his mom because he was commanded to get down from his favorite place, the stairs. And who would not argue, he was already seated comfortably watching television. That trait was passed down by both parents so am not surprised.

With that trait he could be a law maker, patterned after God's laws or better yet, a preacher spreading the Word, and standing for the truth. I pray to God it is going to be the latter or whatever is God's will.
