"Don't Touch"

Hal became fascinated by the title of a book today.  He pointed to the two word title and repeated "Don't Touch" again and again while pointing to the words.  Age 29 months.

James "invented" a toy idea today.  He wants a toy that will show teh Big Bang and then will have all of life on earth.  He described "when it was all oceans and then the boney fishes.  then the giant dragon flies and then pangea and all of the dinosaurs.  Then mammals but then, in the toy there's an ice age and the ice age animals like wooly mammoths and then humans."

He's been drawing a lot of maps lately.  Yesterday, one had a key and a compass rose.  He explained that "the dots respond to a path"  He meant "represent."  He's been experimenting with more complex words like that, with abstract meanings that he's still piecing together.
