Kid's getting big

Noah just turned 5. Tonight he wanted to play hide-and-seek even though it was bed time. He said he asked SOOOO long ago, when he was 4 even, and I said no. He was telling me the rules, and he said that when the person who's IT is done counting, they say, "Red or not! Here I come."

Noah used to have a hair in his armpit, but he itched it away. There were a bunch of hairs that were connected to the bone. WHy the hairs are there is to help connect the arm to the rest of the body

He was saying the other day that there is something about the library at the school that is very unusual. "Very, very unusual!" Don't remember what it was, but I liked how he said that. He also asks if I'm sure (about a variety of different topics), and if I'm one hundred two million percent sure. 

A topic that comes up repeatedly is about human history. He wants to know who was the first person who ever lived, and did he have a name, and what was it, and are you sure. Three hundred fourteen percent sure.

As we were crossing a street the other day, I put my hand up to wave to a car that stopped. I was kind of saying, "Hey! We're here! Thanks for stopping!" This is just what I always do. But the other day, Noah did it also. 

Yesterday we were talking about un-hugging and un-kissing. Sometimes we play where he doesn't want me to give him a kiss, so I put my hand on his cheek and take the kiss back. When Aviva doesn't want me to clean her hands, she wants me to put the dirt back, so I pretend to do that. But I think she might think I'm really doing it. In any case, Noah and I were talking about undoing things. If you break something, you can remake it,  but you can't un-think something. And you can't un-say something, but Noah pointed out that you CAN use the word "actually."
