2010
I used to keep monthly updates on Noah. When Ryan was born in April 2010, I began to slack off.
I am going to attempt to recall some things noah did during that summer.

To allow me time to bond with new baby Ryan and for noah to have special time of his own, he had a lot of fun activities with Joe and other family members.
-Daddy took noah to the garbage museum in Hartford.,
-went on an "expedition" to the West Hartford resevoir with dad
- went to six flags a few times with auntie becky, leo and emma
-had overnight at aunties a few times as well
-went to six flags with just leo, becky and nana
-dinosauer park in montville where he got to dig for gems and then play on a big playground and then the splash pad
-we had a cousin sleep over in our living room inside a tent
-went to go see thomas day out at the rock cats game in june with daddy and grandpa
-had his first summer bible club at valley
-went to ocean beach park in stonington area on labor day weekend. had a huge pool, beach and splash pad, outdoor playground and small amusement park (which was closed due to incoming storm).
-went to southwick zoo in mass but had heat exhaustion and vomited profusely outside.
-went to go see a movie with daddy
-went to peabody museum in new haven
-we went apple picking in grandby
-pumpkin picking in farmington.
Noah had lots of fun!

He really took to ryan well and had no issues. he was very sweet when he visited us in the hospital for the first time, a moment i fantasized about, of noah meeting his new baby brother and getting a picture of us 4 in the bed.

In the fall he started preschool at valley christian preschool in unionville. he loved mrs heath and mrs thompson very much. he made wonderful friends and to this day (10/31/11) he still talks about them and misses them a great deal.
for halloween he was spiderman. very cute! we had our traditional time over auntie becky's.

for Christmas he got a lot of great things, but the one thing we were most excited to give him: a brand new spiderman bike. he wanted the "tomater tall tales" movie. so when he saw the bike, he began to cry b/c he thought there was no movie. (becky gave it to him). we were really upset with him and disappointed. but he finally got over it.
