The kids and I are up in Calgary this week for Easter Break, and Joshy’s long awaited tonsil removal surgery. In the midst of family events, appointments and egg hunts Noah has really shone like a little beam of light! He’s truly coming into his own with his language and communication now, and it’s adorable to hear him chirping away - on and on about whatever is interesting to him. I have to admit that it’s pure sugar to hear the family falling more in love with Noah, and enjoying his little spurts of banter. I always want to shout from the rooftops just how darling my little guy is, without being too pretentious of course.

The other night we went to view Liz and Kent’s new home that is under construction (it’s beautiful btw!!!). Outside there was a large dumpster with huge letters spelling out a builder called CARDEL. Noah saw that and ran right over to it, sharing his knowledge of each letter and it’s accompanying sound. “The C says CCCCCC!” “The A says Ahhhhh!” etc. And then sounding out the word right in front of Auntie Liz, his Nana and his Papa Jim. (perfect timing to show off your skills buddy!! Way to go!)

Thanks everyone for loving our Noah and for helping me enjoy his progression from Babyhood to Beyond. It’s hard sometimes to know that your baby isn’t quite a baby anymore, but with the cool rewards of the next stages it’s all still pretty sweet!
