Mr. Smarty Pants

(31 months, 1 week)
we took noah to six flags today. he LOVED it! they had a roller coaster he could ride with a parent (one of many rides for tots) and it actually got my stomach up into my throat, but noah loved it and was so mad when it ended! so he went on 5 more times. and yes, there was a carousel of course. This kid has no fear! I know I will be worried when he is older!
I can't get over how smart noah is. not just regular smart like knowing how to spell his name and knew his alphabet before age 2 and how to count to 20 and all of his colors and shapes. but he is astutely smart, very aware of his surroundings. Last Tuesday we brought noah to the bushnell carousel in Hartford. This Friday we brought noah to six flags, and had to take 84 East to get there. As we approached the city, noah got all excited and started saying the carousel was there. I was like, joe, how does he know that? then he pointed to the gold building which was right next to the park. he saw the sky scraper way up in the sky and knew where he was, after only have been to the bushness carousel one time. then as we got right before the asylum street exit, he got all excited and said "right there! carousel! right there!" How did he remember, at age 2 1/2, that the asylum street exit was the correct exit?

and at six flags, way in the parking lot, he pointed to the top of a building in the distance and said it was the carousel. As we got inside the park, sure enough, he was correct. That very building he pointed to way far away, was infact, the carousel.

we went to lexi's 3rd bday, and noah blew chrissy and debbie out of the water with the fact he could spell his name. chrissy made him a goodie basket with his name on it and he quickly and correctly spelled his name. they could not believe it, and not to appease him, but for real, were in shock!

he likes to look at things and figure out how they work. there was a baseball game that picked up the ball and pitched it to the kid. he did not care to play with it, but figure out how it worked. I wonder if he'll be an engineer some day? he was so cute, lexi got a tricycle and noah was "fixing the wheels" for her. when he was complete, making sure they were all safe, he said, "ok, all done. wheels fixed". it was so cute he was playing and helping her. what a little man.
