Can't See

Our 23 month old will occasionally pull his hat down over his eyes, or close himself in a dark closet, in order to say, "Can't see!" This is good fun for him.

Tonight, we were alone together for the evening, and we built a Thomas train track. Percy was the engine and our son put a tunnel over the track. I pulled the train around and hid Percy in the tunnel and said, "Percy's hiding in the tunnel."

"Can't see!" he replied.

I love watching children put ideas together and apply them to other situations. It's as if they are asking approval for their logical deductions. If we approve, they file it away for future use.
