Saturday Night

Jan 7 2012

After a week without Daddy, 2 sick boys and 1 tired Momma. This is how we do Saturday nights around here. A little Saints football, folding laundry, playing with Thomas the Train, and the one way Luke will not fall over while trying to sit up (stick him in the laundry basket). Leftovers for dinner, put the boys down early, and then head to bed ourselves (well after the game was over).

Noah is proving to be a perfectionist. We ended up taking his trains away tonight because he got so frustrated when one would fall of the track or something was not going just the way he had hoped as he pushed his little trains along. I MEAN, really, he was so upset. He is definitely our one of a kind child.

-strong willed
-dramatic
-energetic
-tenderhearted
-sensitive

And here are some of his latest Noahisms:

-When someone is over to visit us, and they get ready to leave........They tell him "BYE." he yells "NO NOT YET!!"

-I often tell him that we are going to LISTEN WITH OUR EARS AND OBEY WITH OUR HEART, and the other day I asked him, "Are you going to obey Momma or not?" He answers simply, "NOT!"

-He is our little parrot, he often repeats what we say, so when something surprises me I, I react.............the other day I heard him repeating me. He says "OHHHHH GOODNESS." ( I guess I could have said worse things)

-He will stop at a moments notice cup his ear in his hand and say "Do you hear that?"........"No buddy, what is it?" ............"You hear that owl?" (to which there is no owl in sight/ I love that he is getting such an imagination)

-He sits down to lunch/dinner, and takes a bite, "Yummy, so good."

-After he is upset and has been crying he asks for a "NAPKIN" so he can wipe his tears away. (just precious)

-As he and Luke are about to get in the bath together, He often yells, "2 NAKEDS!!!!" (it surprises me everytime)

-When I do have to spank him, he grabs his little booty and says, "OUCH THAT HURTS!!" or "YOU HURT ME!!" (yep bud that is the point.) Daddy often tells him these days that "Disobedience hurts!"
