2nd week of summer vacation

noah is 31 months old. 5 more months until he is 3!!!!
we are home on vacation this week. We went to the carousel at Bushnell park in Hartford. Noah loved it!!! Today daddy joined us at art class and music class at gymboree. Tomorrow we are going to 6 flags if the weather is nice enough. Sunday we are going to see thomas at the thomaston train museum! and of course noah got to go to a car wash this week too. my truck has never been so clean!

noah's cdiff cleared up. the flagyl worked, thank God. His bottom healed and the scars are fading.

noah has a new molar growing in now, his 2nd one of the two year molars. He had a low grade temp of 101 the other night and he has a slight runny clear nose/histamine reaction going on. He gets so excited over the new tooth! he likes to play dentist now and look into my mouth.

noah is so funny!! he has been super clingy lately and keeps asking (demanding!) that I lay down with him and sleep at night. I tell him my bed is in the other room and he cries.. so last night I gave him his huge life-size elmo to sleep with. the one you push his stomach and he talks. so last night on the monitor, we hear elmo talking. so we turn on the video and watch... "GIVE ELMO A HUG" and so noah hugs him. "YOU ARE ELMO'S BEST FRIEND." noah responds," thanks elmo" "LET'S GO FOR A WALK" noah responds,"ok, we can go to the car wash" "LET'S PLAY!" noah scolds, "no play! stay in bed!"

I was crying, laughing so hard. we video taped it (the monitor comes with cords you can plug into the tv and watch the baby monitor on the tv and we recorded off the tv). how I love this age!

noah is totally peeing on the potty now! just the poops he asks for diapers. but the catch, he has to be naked all the time from the waste down. so if you come over, there will be a potty in the middle of the living room and then you will see a half naked two year old running around that has no shame, just tons of precious innocense! he got his second train tonight from all the holes being punched in the thomas card!!! way to go noah! he is so proud of himself, too. he does a pee-pee dance! it looks like a cross between the chicken dance, hiphop and white boy dance!
