My little Artist is turning 7

November 17, 2011

noahart My beautiful brown eyed boy is turning 7 tomorrow. Noah is our sweet little boy, with a huge passion for artwork. He loves to draw, and spends hours and hours immersed in his world of color and expression. It’s cool to see a little boy so serious about his drawing, he loves to show his art books filled with pictures to those who will sit still and allow him the pleasure of describing each one. Noah also loves Robots – they are TOTALLY his thing.

I love Noah’s sweet voice, his kind heart, his hugs and kisses, and the way that he refers to his brothers as “my friends”. He is a gift to my life and I think he’s so special. Happy Birthday to my youngest baby boy – I love you so dearly Noah. XOXO Mommy

Kindergarten Graduate

June 25, 2011

Somebody buy this boy some wheels – he’s graduated Kindergarten baby!! Our Noah was thrilled this week to graduate with his Kindergarten class and rush head first into summer holidays. Noah has come a long way this year and I’m so proud of him, he is awesome. We celebrated the event by going to his yearend BBQ, and Noah received a “Special Person” button and diploma from his teacher Mrs. M. (My Mom, Dylan, Joshua, Brigs and Lola were there too!)

I told his teacher how grateful we were to have her to teach both Brigs in a previous year and now Noah. To which she said that “Noah was My Gift this year!” Isn’t it delightful to know that there are kind and wonderful people out there that care about your kids. She made me tear up. Having great teachers is such a blessing, and Noah definitely hit the jackpot with Mrs. M!

Congratulations on your big Kindergarten milestone Noah, I’m so proud of my baby boy!! XOXO – Mom

Noah and My Name

April 19, 2011

Noah is so adorable right now, I love that little boy. Sometimes he is so endearing and tender. The other day he asked me:

“Mommy, what is your name?”
I replied “Thanks for asking Noah, my name is Daria!”
To which he answered “I want to call you Daria now, ALL of the time!”

Well I’m not quite ready to let go of hearing my 6 year old call me Mommy, but I think it’s kind of adorable that a few days later he brings me this picture that he made for me at school ->>

Daria Loves you Noah :) (and so does Mommy!!)

ELEMENTARY my dear Noah!

September 1, 2010

This afternoon marks Noah’s 1st day of Kindergarten. He was SOOOO excited to get out the door, especially because we were all going to walk him to the school together.

He was BORN to wear a backpack!!! :)

One last sweet look for Mommy before we go. I love this boy so much.

Joshy and Brigs were so GREAT about making Noah’s 1st day a BIG DEAL. They were super proud of him, and they goofed around on the walk to the school.

Brigs wanted to take Noah to the classroom because he had the same Kindergarten teacher. Brigs was showing Noah the ropes about where to hang his backpack. It was darling to see him care so much. This is the point I started to tear up.

And to end the story. I’m at home now, Lola is napping and I’m still teary about Noah growing so much. But I’m so super happy and excited for all he will learn this year. He jumped right in and started showing his puzzle solving skills. He’s ready!!!

Noah Loves his Lola

January 14, 2010

Finally 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?!
Proof he adores her!

A Nibble of Noah

December 3, 2009

When 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.

Super Noah is staying home

September 2, 2009

After 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.

It’s Please

August 27, 2009

Noah 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. :)

My Noah is 4!

November 18, 2008

The day finally arrived, despite my denial my little Noah has turned 4 years old today! Wow, I can’t believe how quickly the time has flown by. It seems like yesterday he was my tiny little newborn baby in NICU with tubes to help him breathe. Once he arrived home from the hospital I snuggled him up and remember just wanting to be alone with him, to cherish his preciousness. I felt so blessed that he was healthy enough to come home, and I don’t think I’ve let go of him since. He’s just my little miracle boy, full of smiles and funny expressions, sweet sounds and magical big brown eyes.

These days Noah loves to pretend he is Indiana Jones or Batman, loves anything and everything his big brothers are interested in, and still loves to cuddle up with Mommy. I honestly can’t picture my life without this little man.

Today for his Birthday I’m hoping to take him outside for some pictures. I’ll share them later. Happy Happy Birthday Noah-boah, Mommy loves you more than you’ll ever know!
