It was landscaping clean up day in our neighborhood. This consists of a man weed eating, another man holding a screen up to block the grass from going everywhere, and a woman who does various things while they work. Noah each time runs back and forth between the chair he has pulled up to the window and the back glass door...watching them while they clean up the area beside our home. Today I noticed that Noah was waving at them...to which they waved back. Then he was going up and down on the chair hiding underneath the window and then popping up again...to which they played along and acted super surprised each time he came back up again. The interaction lasted the entire time they were working...and when it was time to leave they walked to the back of our yard where we were playing...and told him bye bye in English.

We are at PT Tots and it's music time...happens just about each time we go! There is one boy who is 2.5years old. He picks out a whole bunch of instruments and hoards them in between his open legs. Noah just can't stand that he does this and will go up and grab an instrument. The boy then grabs for what Noah has taken...and Noah drops it and scoops up the real object of his desire...and backs up outside of arms length. The boy starts screaming and throwing a fit to which his mom tells him he has to share. Noah then looks at him like...really, what's your issue? And throws the toy back to him. Today he ran across the room and sat down next to the wall. He pointed toward the boy and then faked cried...followed by the words..bad, bad!

Noah is done eating so I take him out of his chair and hand him his cup. He goes off and I am cleaning up the floor and his tray. He seems super quiet so I go and find him in the bathroom. He had lifted up the lid of the toliet and was playing with his sippy cup in the water!

Zack is out to sea...so every morning I read an email from him and then we head to the kitchen for breakfast. This morning I am reading my email and Noah is standing next to me signing eat. I tell him in just a minute. He continues to stand next to me and sign eat...again I say just a minute. He decides that maybe he isn't being clear enough and heads over to his "kitchen bin" and pulls out a bowl. He comes and stands next to me dipping his hand in the bowl and then signing eat. I tell him...okay I get it...let's go get breakfast. He drops the bowl and leads the way to his chair!

Before going out to sea...Zack has taught Noah to pull a toy behind him, color with crayons, and make a "war face"...this means opening his mouth super wide and saying Ahhh!
