Some funny things noah has said recently:
I asked him how he was feeling since he had a cold. He responded, "It's not good so well. I am feeling sad."
At night on the monitor, I can hear Noah counting in spanish in bed.
We went out to dinner and the lady was washing the table. He said to her that that it sounds like the baby.. (he meant heartbeat)!
Noah does a new prayer that he made up:
open shut them prayer. I will have to video it and link it here.
He is sleeping over Auntie Becky's house this weekend as Joe and I go away to Boston for our christmas present to eachother. Noah is very excited!

After coming back from trick or treating, noah took off his costume and hid in the bathroom trying to eat his candy in peace!

growing up...
Noah tells me, "Mom, I'm thinking I am not a bunny anymore (nickname I have had for him since he was a baby). I am a big man and don't need to sit in the booster seat." At least he breaks it to me gently that he is growing up...
At the time I felt like he was stabbing me in the heart though.
and the other day I was grumbling about how cold it is and Noah responds: "Don't worry mom. Cold means you can build leave piles!" How did he become so optimistic when I certainly am not?
He really is a light in my life. He shows me times to be humble, optimistic and happy. He really has Jesus in his heart!

big boy bed
noah got his big boy bed on Saturday. He loved it! He has been sleeping so well and I have had to wake him up each day in the morning and from naps.
The last night with his old bed..
Walking in and seeing his new bed for the first time!
I think he is happy!

such a big boy
Noah is getting a new big boy twin bed on Sat. He really wants me to lay down with him at night and I can't fit anymore. He also keeps telling me he is too big for his bed.. but little does he know that if he took out the bazillion animals in his bed, he'd fit.
One funny thing that noah does.. if he gets yelled at for misbehaving, he say: "I am sorry you yelled at me.".. kind of odd, but makes me smile and apologize.
Noah got into both Village nursery school and Valley Chistian. We declined village and decided to send him to valley in the fall for 3 days of morning 4's preschool. I love the teachers and so did he when he met them.
Noah has almost saved up for his Rocky! He is awesome about doing his chores. and he always tithes his savings too.
Yesterday noah was walking on his tip toes and trying not to walk on his heels. I asked him why and he said he did not want his feet to get hard like mine. I told him if he walked on his feet for 34 years, they'd be hard too. so.. he is trying not to. I think that is pretty smart!
You know how kids mimic their parents? The other day Noah wet a napkin with his spit and wiped my face.... I think I will stop doing that to him.
I love this age. He is sooo much fun and always says such funny things! He tells me that I crack him up! (wonder where he gets that from?)
Yesterday we had our gender u/s. Noah did his typical helping me in the dr office getting my shoes off my feet and up in the stirrups (which is not needed). He tells me not to pee out the baby when I leave a urine sample. then he runs to the u/s room.. he knows exactly where it is. when the dr told him it was a boy baby, noah said no, it is a girl baby! he really thought it was a girl! I won't tell him the name we picked b/c I know he'll tell people and we want it to be a surprise.

some funny things noah has been saying lately...
everything is "so very"...
"I so very missed you"
"I am so very starving"
I told him we had to go to the store to get him some turtle necks. he replied, "we are going to get some turtles to check my neck?"
he still calls pajamas "jamANas"
and yesterday he called me "mrs michaud".
he is getting better at blowing his nose like a "big man". and speaking of bein a big man, he is eating tons! he is always hungry. lastnight after dinner and before bed he ate two bowls of pasta! I am glad he is eating now, just hope it is not in his vain efforts to grow big. he still talks about how the kids at church once told him he was little.
noah is so good at helping me up off the floor when we are kneeling to pray. he really is such a good helper, and he always says he has to help people.
he has been requesting a big boy bed now so I can lay down with him at night. I am too big in the belly to fit in his car bed now.
he is excited to find out if we are having a boy or a girl next week.
noah really wants this new rocky the crane. he keeps asking many times a day. so we are having him do daily chores and then he gets some change to add to his piggy bank and tithe as well. we made a chart to see how much he has to earn until he can buy rocky all by himself. I hope this teaches him to respect money and that toys do not just magically appear. but he is only 3.. so not sure how much he will understand.
he seems to be fading out of his naps. he has a clock in his room now (digital like daddy) and a card nex to it that reads 4:00 for his nap and 7:00 for when he can wake up in the morning. he can get up to go to the bathroom but he must go back to bed. he was getting up at 6am and wanting to play downstairs. he can nap or play in his room but he has to stay from 2-4pm. yesterday he fell asleep on the floor behind his door! strange and it woke him up when the door hit him when I opened it up.
he is doing well stayng dry at nap but he has not initiated going without night time diapers. although he does get up to pee or poo at night. he is trying to wipe himself but goes thru tons of tp or wet wipes. he'll get it eventually but i am proud that he is initiating it himself.
noah wrote his name all by himself, 100% without prompting or assistance. he wrote it on the tub wall with bathtub crayons! so I had joe get the camera to take a picture of it. so fun!

Yankee Candle
We went to Yankee Candle up in South Deerfield, Mass today. We went with noah back in 2006 when he was 9 months old and not even crawling yet. It was so fun to go back with him and see him look at all the things again, but through older eyes. He was so excited to see Santa's workshop where he makes all the toys, but he did not want to say hi to him. After we went to the butterfly conservatory called Magic Wings. Noah had a great time looking at all the exotic reptiles and seeing tons of butterflies flying around freely. One almost landed on his head but he screamed and freaked out and it flew away. It was a nice fall day, 55 degrees out and sunny. But most of the leaves were gone, but it was still a nice drive.
