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!

Almost Doesn't Count

Image
We almost ended up with a puppy today. An adorable baby Jack Russell Terrier mix wandered into our yard. He was very sweet, laid back, flea-ridden, dirty, cute, a little broken, good temperament, un-fixed, and very very good with Noah and Emma. I asked the neighbors about him and they showed me where the owner lived. She took him inside and told me how he's driving her crazy because he chews through collars and gets out of the yard (which is because he's a puppy and not an outside breed). She mentioned possibly getting rid of him. Lo and behold he wandered back into our yard not too long after that... interesting. I wanted to adopt him because he was unwanted, but shouldn't have been. He was a very sweet dog. I would have called him Jackie I think :) This brings me to a rant. I know I've posted about the way people around here treat their pets. This is a perfect example. This lady didn't want the puppy anymore so she simply let it go. No collar, no tags

Still Happy!! HOORAY!!

Image
We're still going strong with our happiness levels out here. Yesterday was a little bit rough because Tristan was especially whiney, but today was amazing :) We got our grocery shopping done and even managed to have fun doing that! Noah and I were singing Christmas songs already while Tris and Bren laughed at us. Tristan sometimes piped in with a "all the way" when we were singing Jingle Bells. Noah was cracking up when I sang him the Batman version :D After all that excitement the 2 wee ones went down for their naps and Noah and I gave Bosley a bath with his new tea extract shampoo. He looks and smells so wonderful now :) He was in such a good mood after that too! Noah made a concoction of plum leaves, olives, dirt, and paper which he called "olive a cado". While he was doing his own grocery shopping I was taking some macro shots with my new focus point knowledge. I'm very happy. I thought I loved my camera before! Anyway... We also built a littl

Our 4th Anniversary

Image
Since we hardly ever see each other, when we finally do it's always some kind of celebration. This time we're celebrating our 4th anniversary so we're going to do a whole weekend. This is where we'll be spending our weekend alone :) It's the perfect place to get away from everyone and just be together. We don't even have to find someplace to cook! Even though the full kitchen looks more like a stove and a sink and no counter space. We'll make do. We're bringing a lot of games, some food, and ourselves. We might also bring along our fishing gear. We've already decided the TV is not going to be turned on (unless the Daily Show is on because we really miss Jon Stewart). Most likely we just won't turn it on. There are places to hike and the cabins are right next to the river. We've gotten so much rain lately it's probably pretty full. I'm very excited! I haven't been away from Noah for more than a day since he was born.
