One Last Thing Before Bed... OK make that 10

I filled Noah's Easter basket tonight. As I was cleaning everything up I glanced over at his coloring book and saw this.

Note what the heading says. I didn't read this to him and we've never done a page like this before. This could be a coincidence, surely... but as soon as I saw it I though "holy crap did he read what it said?!". Probably not, but I'd like to think that he did :) I plan to ask him tomorrow if he knows what the words are.

Josh's soccer game was canceled on account of rain so we hung out and played like a family. It was glorious. I cleaned Noah's room today so we had plenty of space to bond. Josh built Noah a playhouse out of the big blocks and Noah decided it was a cat house. He was pretending to be a cat until we went to the store. He never broke character, never talked, never walked. He's been shocking me quite a bit lately. Earlier today he was beating the crap out of his Spiderman punching balloon and he suddenly stopped and said "oooh I love this thing" and kissed it hahaha. OMG he's such a crazy kid :) He wanted me to draw a picture of Elmo and Cookie Monster playing a soccer game today. Here are Noah's new favorite phrases.
"Two more minutes!"
"Oh that was a close one. I neber do that again!"
"Just wait. Wait" ::and he sticks his little hand up::
"I love baby brother. His name Chichen. He loves me." (he laughs the whole time)
Every once in awhile he'll throw out a "beautiful" or "amazing" and other randomness. He's starting to pronounce his "F's" a lot better.


Tristan was sitting on Noah's floor, grabbing at toys and looking around for a good 10 or 15 minutes without falling. He would have gone longer, but I couldn't stand not cuddling him because he was so darn cute. He also grabbed Noah's table and stood there gnawing on it for a few seconds, without support. What is with this kid! He's also finally cutting his bottom teeth and he does NOT like it. I bought some baby orajel today and that seemed to help a little. He lets his poor slobbery mouth hang open with this sad look on his face. It's the bottom left one, but it looks like the right one is coming in as well not too long from now.

Good news! Josh has been excused from all extracurriculars this week since he'll be leaving for a month!!! That means he will leave at 4 and be home by 5 now (instead of 7 or 9). YAY! I've got a lot to do before we leave. I'm starting to get 2nd thoughts because of Tristan's teeth. Hopefully it won't be too rough a trip. I might end up waiting until Josh gets back and then have us both go out there. I hate to disappoint everyone though. I don't know. We'll see how Tristan does over the next few days.

Yay! Even I was impressed by the draw the eyes and ears thing! I think I was reading around the time I was Noah's age. I don't think it's a coincidence either! Even if when you ask him he doesn't say, he probably knows. Little kids seem to keep a lot of things inside until they are 100% sure of themselves.
Sweet!

Great job Noah!!!That is impressive!

I also can't wait for Ava to color inside the lines. I think Noah is even early on doing that!

Poor Tristan with teething. I totally hear ya on that one....Ember is miserable while she teeths. I can't image traveling during that :P I hope Josh is able to go with you....I hate traveling by myself with both kids. I do it anyways but it is soooo much easier with Mark along. He is actually a huge help while traveling. When we stop for me to nurse Ember he walks Ava around to stretch her legs....perfect!

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE.  We happen to be surrounded by water.  The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between.  Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights.  We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right?  Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace.  I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that.  I at least want a gas stove and water heater!  So, anyways.  We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober!  YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn.  Whoops.  It was fun though.  OK so here's where we began our journey.  You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant).  All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery.  We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path.  The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating.  I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places.  There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees.  We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...

Germany

Noah and I are having a great time out in Germany with Josh. The house we're sharing is amazing and the people are also amazing. The only thing we don't have is our own kitchen, but like I said, the people who live here (Josh's friends) are amazing so it's not even an issue. I've been cooking for everyone to try to thank them in some way. We haven't been to many places yet. It's hard to go anywhere with a baby who has a naptime and a husband who has a job. However!! We managed to make it out to Heidelberg to see the castle. It was awesome. the walk up to the castle mmmm castle Heidelberg down below Christmas is huge here. They've even got Christmas markets out in the parking lot in front of WalMart. We've been to Luisenplatz a few times in downtown Darmstadt to visit all the Christmas shops they have set up. It's like a Christmas flea market. Thus far all I've blown money on is candy... mmmm German candy is so delicious. It's...
