My now 3 year old is full of interesting new things.
Here are some of what is going on with him these days:
-At any moment he is likely to break out in song (a few of his favorites are)
1. Jesus loves me this I know
2. The ABC song
3. Father Abraham had many sons and many sons.......
4. I'm in the Lord's Army.......Yessir
5. Twinkle Twinkle little star
6. Old MacDonald had a farm (but his version goes,
On the Farm, On the Farm, Moo Moo, On the Farm On the Farm.......repeat, repeat
7. The blessing: God our Father
8. Super Why theme song
9.
-He will often ask me nicely, "Can you please stop Mom?" When I am correcting him, to which my answer is, you can tell me "No, Thanks." to which I will explain it is my job to be his parent.
-He has started to really enjoy pretending and playing by himself, So when Luke wants to join in and he would rather him not, Noah asks Momma, "Can you please get him."
-He mocks me and tells Luke "Let's have a talk!"
-He got a guitar for his birthday and constantly asks me, "Where's my TAR?"
-Once he is playing his guitar, (while he stands at the front of the room, he asks me to pray, I do, and then he plays Jesus Loves Me, while singing along/ I guess pretending he is a worship leader) Afterwards he says, "Rockin Music."
-He loves to sing the blessing now before meals.
He loves this cat, a stray that showed up at Mimi's house. Today he was sitting with her and told me, "Momma, Melly is praying (purring)."
-He tells everyone he meets he has a "4 wheeler."
-Every morning he asks for his Manna. His Banana, my child can say the actual word Banana, but chooses Manna. I call them Mannas from Heaven.
-And once I cut the banana up and put it in a bowl sit him down and give him a fork, he starts to eat his breakfast, but if that banana rolls and he can't get it skewered on the fork I hear, "No sir, stop it Manna."
-"I can't figure this out." To which I go and try to help him before panic sets in.
-After he has whatever it was mastered, he shows me saying, "Lemme show you how this works, Momma."
Every night he reads his Bible with Daddy ( they must have read through the entire thing more than a dozen times now) Drew turns the page and Noah can tell you the scene on that page, explaining what is going on and what happens next. This makes my heart so happy. Hiding it in his heart.
