Nolan may not want to wow the crowd with performances of his ABCs, but John and I have been quite surprised by his phonetics. He has an alphabet puzzle he loves to do. Each letter goes on top of the image of something that starts with that letter. He usually will say "K for keys" and "A for apple" as he does it, but yesterday he came up with his own ideas... "N is for night night Nolan." I verified with John that he has not taught this to Nolan, and then today he came up with his own "H is for hide and seek" which of course made us stop doing the puzzle and start playing hide and seek. I've tried to share some phonetics with him, but he never really seems interested... I guess he paid attention or it's just in him.
Our unusual family portrait from the Milwaukee Art Museum's exhibit Act/React.
Nolan's train table has been relocated to the coffee table because it is too cold upstairs. I love how he has built tracks going off every which way and off the table.
He spied the toy "puff puff" cigarette from a party John & I went to recently, a party with the theme of Madmen, the TV show. John and I got to dress retro for the night. We shouldn't have told him to put it in his mouth, but we did. For the picture. Since Nolan never sees people smoking much, other than the fathers in his classic Golden Books, he probably doesn't have a reference anyways... its "yucky" from here on out.
