"goodbye, see you tomorrow" and "singing"

Tokyo, 2009.12.02

When I got to the daycare today, the teacher told me that The Boy had spoken a new phrase. He told her, in Japanese, "goodbye, see you tomorrow".I can't say I'm surprised. He knows quite a few routine phrases, and can make noises at the same time I do when I'm humming a song. There's this one song by The Undertones that has the line "There goes Norman. Awww, he's strange tonight..."Ever since The Boy could crawl I've been singing, "Here comes The Boy, Awwww..." He now does the "Awwww" at the same time.
