Nature boy

There are few things Nolan likes better than being outside. Today I took him for a walk at the Arboretum which we started doing last year this time too, and it’s fun to slowly  see some color and flowers starting to dot throughout the dry and brown winter landscape.
Nolan spent most of the time running around and ‘being a race car’ and fondling the daffodils while he was there. All the while ofcourse also doing a whole lot of talking.

Nolan Sings

Unfortunately you can’t really hear what’s going on here, but I will tell you. Nolan LOVES to play his Jack Johnson Curious George CD in his bedroom over and over and over again. Naturally, as he does, he is starting to remember the lyrics to the songs, and started singing one of the songs while he was eating dinner a few days ago. Typically he sings songs he learns at preschool from his beloved “Mrs Lou” and we know that he is singing her songs as they are always coupled with extensive arm and body movements to go along with the song.

Now as he started singing this particular song I initially figured is was one of those songs that he had recently mastered in class as there was also some considerable arm movement happening. But suddenly it started to sound a whole lot like some lines in the Curious George song ‘Jungle Gym’, which also meant he had been coming up with his own arm movements to accompany the song! This kid, I tell ya. He’s got talent.
