Noah's First Day of School

After months of looking for the elusive "perfect school," we finally settled on a preschool. Noah was really excited!

Three going on 14.

Noah's birthday, 2009:

And a mere 12 months later, he looks like this:

And he wears new shoes like this:

Smiles like this:

And tries on shoes like this:

I love him because he makes me laugh:

And I'm astounded by his independence...

I love that his best buddy is my dad:

I love this little airbender.

I love Noah!

Happy birthday, son!

Kids Say the Darndest Things...

Darndest Thing #1: While at Buffet City, where they charge $5 for three year olds:

Waitress: How old is your son?

Mama: Two

Noah: I am NOT two years old! I am THREE AND A HALF, ALMOST FOUR YEARS OLD!!

Mama: (sheepishly) Ummmmm... He eats like a two year old

Darndest Thing #2: After church, in the church gym while eating doughnuts:

Noah: I want to get baptized

Priest: That's wonderful...

Darndest Thing #3: In his big boy bed, getting ready to fall asleep:

Noah: Mama, will you close my door

Mama, from the kitchen: Sure, baby.

(Walks down the hall, partially closes door)

Noah: No, mama - all the way.

(Through closed door): Thank you.

Darndest Thing #4:

Noah: Papa you need a ladder

Papa: Maybe I will get one for Father's Day.

Noah: I will buy you one. I have money in my Cash Cow.

Mama: Noah, that money is for you. You are saving it so you can buy whatever you want.

Noah: I want to buy Papa a ladder.

Mama: Are you sure you don't want to buy a toy instead?

Noah: I said I WANT TO BUY PAPA A LADDER!

Noah-ism, again...

This morning, during breakfast: (Noah taking my hand) "Mama, you are my love."

Noah-ism, Part II

While in the car today: "Mama, I'm ready for summer. Summer is when the sun is warm and I can wear shorts, right? Yeah, I'm ready for summer."

Noah-ism

While sitting on the toilet: "Lolo, ihi (pee) and tae (poop) go together like pancakes and eggs go together."

Allergy Update

Things have been so busy with school I nearly forgot to post an update about Noah's peanut allergy. We took him to his allergist last Tuesday. Noah tested positive for peanut (again), so his doctor ordered another blood test.

I got the results to the blood test yesterday. It came back negative for peanut. Because of the inconsistent results, Noah has to do a challenge test at Primary's in June. I don't know much about challenge test, but when I learn more, I will be sure to keep you all updated!
