Yesterday I left work a bit early, pre-holiday, and had a chance to have tea with Noah’s nanny.

Noah: Mummy play with Noah?
Me: When I’m finished with my tea, honey
Noah (repeat every 20 seconds or so): Mummy done yet? Mummy tea finished? Mummy tea all gone?
Me: not yet, not yet, not yet (ad nauseum)
Noah: Mummy put tea in sink?

V. and I cracked up.

Just now, Noah is playing at my feet, verbalising:

Noah: train go on track. Uh oh, no more track. (long pause. Noah gets up and goes and gets his err… drawing thing, not sure what it is called, but it’s the magnetic drawing thing that’s flat and has a stylus): My draw track!

And he does, and puts it where he wants the train to go.

Wow, this is a cool age.

    Oh Noah would love this toy which name I don’t recall at the moment (helpful huh?)–you draw a black line on paper with a magic marker and put these provided trains and cars and they follow the line! its amazing. i know they sell it at a website called bitsandpieces-or they did.
