Noah Loves his Lola
January 14, 2010Finally I have photographic proof that Noah indeed is smitten with his sister Lola, (he’s just been camera shy about it). Noah is crazy about her and so soft and tender. He comes to me 10 times a day and tells me “Mommy I LOVE my Lola!”
It’s precious to see your children love each other, what could be better?!
My Kids – Christmas 2009
December 30, 2009I have a post written up to go along with these pics of my children from Christmas. I will share it soon, but right now I’m unpacking so that has to come first
A Nibble of Noah
December 3, 2009When Noah was sitting next to me cuddled up just now, I snagged his cute little pinky finger and pretended to nibble it.
“Mom stop eating my finger!” he said
“Sorry Noah, you just taste so yummy?!” I said
“I don’t taste good Mommy, I’m not Chicken and I’m not Cereal. I’m NOAH!!”
ROTFL I love that kid.
My Love Noah is FIVE!
November 18, 2009
It’s Noah’s 5th Birthday today and as I try to wrap my head around the whirlwind years that have lead to this new age, I’m totally baffled by how fast the time has gone. It wasn’t long ago that this precious boy entered my world and went straight to the NICU unit for the first 5 days of his life. His lungs needed extra time and care when he was born, so off he went out of the delivery room. I remember feeling so cheated of those first moments with him, it was hard. Then going to visit him downstairs in the NICU and seeing my darling baby hooked up to tubes, his gorgeous hair shaved in a patch so they could monitor his temperature.
When I finally held him it was magic, my heart was his and has been ever since.
Noah is such a precious child, he’s in love with his Mommy and tells me constantly that he loves me and that I’m beautiful. I am so lucky to have him, the tenderness he shares and the delight he brings to both Nathan and I is beyond measure. Nathan often says that he wishes we could freeze him in time, he’s truly a blessing and a sweetheart at this stage.
Noah, I love you little buddy, you are my true delight. Each day when I get to see you discover the world it makes me grateful for amazing little you. I’m so happy you came to our family, that you are my boy. I know that my heart would have ached for you if you had gone anywhere else in this world but my arms. Happy Happy Birthday Noah – Love and kisses, Mommy
Super Noah is staying home
September 2, 2009After discussion with Noah’s new Kindergarten teacher, other parents, and family, both Nathan and I are feeling really good about keeping him home one more year. He’ll be attending pre-school as well and I think that an added year at home will give Noah a better foundation for K next fall.
I want my boy to feel ready and excited to venture out and into the wonderful world of learning. I was worried about starting him so young. His teacher gave me some great advice, and basically told me that she tells parents if they are questioning it then to go with your intuition, he’ll be so much more ready to learn if he’s not pushed into conforming to expectations.
I feel really at peace about it, I was going over it and over it for so long in my head. I really think this will be the very best thing for my Noah, and I’m excited to have him with me just a little bit longer too. Now I’m sitting down to write out some goals for things we’ll work on together this year at home, I know that I can give him some things this year that will benefit him for next fall and I’m excited to have that opportunity.
And here they are
September 1, 2009My little darlings on the 1st Day of School. Brigs and Joshy wore special t-shirts made by their Nana for the occasion! Aren’t they awesome?! If you want a tee let me know and I’ll hook you up with her, they ROCK! (Noah has a “N is for Noah” tee as well, but he opted to wear a familiar shirt this morning along with his WINTER jacket and hood!!! LOL!) That’s my boy!
Sorry no Dylan picture, he’s in 10th Grade and off to school before the morning light.
It’s Please
August 27, 2009Noah just doesn’t “get it” yet. He seriously believes with all his little 4 1/2 year old heart that if he says please whatever he desires will be his. He’ll often come up to me and ask permission for something, then he looks at me with those big brown eyes and sweetly admonishes “it’s please Mom, it’s please”
The expectation is just there, you say please – it’s the MAGIC word afterall and all your dreams come true! Well until you run into a parental figure who tries to pull a fast one on ya, and crushes your whole belief system.
I love your earnest trust in the “please” system Noah. Don’t grow up just yet, I’m not ready for you to. It’s please Noah, it’s please.
