A Peek at the Inner Workings of Nicco's Mind


A few days ago Nicco's teacher Ms. Kim saw this picture of Nicco on my keychain from when he was about a year and a half old. She said "That is a cute picture! I never saw a baby picture of Nicco before!' She turned to him and said "You were a cute baby." At home several hours later Nicco said (emphatically, with grand hand/arm gestures signifying utter disbelief) "Ms. Kim did not even know I was a baby!" The next day at school I told her what he said and she assured him that she did know he was a baby once, but she just did not know what he looked like when he was a baby. Last night he said (totally random and out of the blue...no baby pictures around, my keychain was not in sight, and no real reminders of Ms. Kim in the vicinity, 3 days removed from the original incident) "Remember mom, with the keys, and Ms.Kim?" It is funny and interesting to me that he is sort of fixating on the idea that Ms. Kim doesn't know about babies. It disturbs him on some level.
