Let Us Know If You Need Us

A bit of a variation on the theme of my post from last week, in which Nicholas was learning the answers to a group of questions.

This afternoon, we picked Nicholas up early from school and headed out to western Massachusetts to visit with some friends. We'd planned it so that we'd pick him up from lunch and he'd nap on the ninety-minute ride.

As usual, he had other plans. We tried to ignore him, but he pulled out all the stops to try to get our attention and help him stay awake. He repeated "mommy ... mommy ... mommy ..." He talked about where we were going.

And then he started asking himself questions and answering them.

Put another check next to the things he doesn't need us for anymore.
