Many occasions, but his lack of fear (all children are born without fear, it's just inculcated in them by experiences) shocks me more often than not. Once, I picked him up from childcare and saw his classmates colouring a picture of a snail while he was with the teacher - he loves sensory things more so the teacher took one of those fish tank containers out, and it had a few live snails on a big leaf inside. The teacher took the leaf out to show the snails to my son, and he coolly touched it and tried to take it off the leaf - we weren't expecting that so the teachers and I had a shock! Recently, he picked something off the floor and tried to put it in his mouth but it dropped. I saw the thing struggling on the floor while he reached for it again, and it was a small beetle! I'm scared of flying insects so I made a big fuss trying to get him to leave it alone, while my parents are just laughing at the side saying that he'll help me get rid of insects next time 😅
