Nathan and i were working on a puzzle today. It’s one that has several famous landmarks on it. We were putting the pieces on and as we did each one i recited the name to him. When we got to The Sphynx, here’s how the convo went:

Me: “Sphynx” (as i point to the puzzle piece)

N8: “Stinks!” (as he waves his hand in front of his nose)

Me: (hysterically laughing) “NOOOO!! NOT ‘STINKS’….’SPHYNX’!!!”

N8: “STINKY!!”

Later on he finally did say “Sphynx” but he still continued to wave his hand in front of his nose. I think he thinks i am actually saying the name wrong.

It should be noted too that his favorite landmark on the puzzle is the Leaning Tower of “PIZZA”!
