Simon's communication skills

Simon: I want train tracks on the table.

Zac: You have train tracks on the table.

Simon goes to the TV stand and looks closely at the empty surface.

Simon: I don't see them... Daddy, I want train tracks!

Zac: They're right there!

Zac gestures to the coffee table. Simon acts insulted.

Simon: No daddy, not the little table. Not the black table. No, no, no, naughty daddy! I want train tracks on the big table. The green table.

Simon pokes his tiny pointer finger on the green table for emphasis.

I wish Simon could communicate all his other needs as well as he communicates exactly where he needs a train track to be built.
