Brrrrrrr it is cold.

Well it is cold out, but the here in Minnesota, and the land of Noah we keep moving......bundled up...but moving. There is pre-school, shopping and swimming class and the YMCA to go to. So cold or Not.....Off we must go. Noah is getting "seasoned" as we say. Stay warm.

Safety first

Noah is helping me in the shop with the building of a new bookcase. He is learning safety first and the use of protective gear. He is a great helper.

Noah's Joke

Noah is showing his first attempt of humor.
The first time I heard him ask the question I was a bit confused because I thought i was dealing with a normal 3 year old questioning. But then it hit me....that might have been a joke. Delivery was off. But the context and punchline was there.
Here is his Joke: How does an elephant get in a house? Because it does! That's funny daddy....that's my Joke!.

We asked him where he learned that and he stated the YMCA. Now it is hard to know what the real joke is....but there it is.
The hard part is that he tells it about every half hour. Sometimes it is an elephant, some times it is a John Deere tractor. He sure is persistent.

Heard any better from three year olds?

The Why Zone.

You're traveling through another dimension -- a dimension not only of sight and sound but out of your mind. A journey into a land of a preschooler whose boundaries are that of imagination. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his patience.You've just crossed over into... the WHY Zone.

1.
for what? for what reason, cause, or purpose?: Why did you behave so badly? –conjunction

Oh My Oh MY Oh WHY oh WHY!!! 2009 has brought already the WHY zone in full force to the Scherger household. I have heard of this with other families to some extent, however Noah has seemed to take it to a level unheard of in the history of mankind.
