What determination kids have... You know the story of the spider that tried to climb the wall again and again... try, try again till you succeed. You only need to look at your child to see this in action.
Experiment
You need a baby who is now moving (forward, backward, rolling, crawling, toddling). Place an object that you know will capture their attention in their vision. Wait patiently. They will do everything possible to reach this object. You pull them back. They will again try to make their way to the object.
Warning: They can be pretty fast. Therefore, avoid keeping dangerous or valuable objects.
They are so determined! My son crawls a distance, sits and then scans the area for interesting objects. He sees his toys and continues to check for greener grass. When he spots something that cannot be categorized as his toy, he very determinedly makes his way to it. It is really cute! I feel so terrible when my son successfully reaches the mobile/remote/wire and I have to pluck it out of his hands. Poor thing, all that effort for nothing.
Have you noticed that you don't actually have to buy them toys? They love playing with non-toys such as vessels, remotes, wires, cell phones, polythene covers, newspapers, shoes, door mats and so on. When they are through playing, they also like to taste it. It is pure pleasure to watch a baby in action!

nicely put. I could visualise him do all those things. Anyway like i say always next time I see him I am going to gift him a metre of WIRE or a computer mouse!!
I think he desires the 'forbidden fruit'. He wants those things that he can't have. :)
