Noah-isms....

This four year old has been cracking us up lately! First of all, he gets up every morning SO excited for school. Not so excited about the getting up part, in fact this past week I had gotten him up and he was in the living room telling me, "Mommy, I need to lay back down and go to sleep, I didn't get all my sleep in, I have to, I have to lay down momma!", but when I say it's time to get in the car, he has his "pak pack" on and has to double check to see that I put his spiderman lunch box in there. (One day I got him hot lunch and he about flipped a lid! he had the whole class looking for spiderman and was so upset that I had not packed his lunch that day, although we talked about it that morning). Anyway, the kid thinks that he is NOAH. THE Noah, like in the Bible Noah...... Jacob came home from Sunday school and Noah said, "Oh look Jacob! You colored my ark!!!!!! AND my rainbow! Good Job Jacob!!!!!" This cracked Josh and I up. We didn't say anything. Just listened and snickered....

Last week, were were coming home from Chik-fil-a school night (any excuse to eat Chikfila right?) and he was in the back of the car singing..
"With a rat-tat-tat
and a thump thump thump
I built the Great Big Ark"

He sang it a couple times, but honestly I wasn't listening. He sang it about 5 times before I realized what he was singing! Oh boy! So, we sat down and had the talk that has the same name as Noah who built the ark, but that wasn't him that everybody was talking about or singing about.

Today we were trying on clothes to see if they fit (which seems like we do this every month!) I was putting shirts on Noah and saying something like, "Oh Perfect!" or "Too small". I put him in this one shirt and before I could say anything Noah says, "this shirt is too small as a mouse, can I give it to a mouse momma?" Not sure why but I got tickled by that!

Okay and I had to come back and add this one he said tonight. We were in the jeep getting gas and Noah said, "Momma, can I pick my nose outside? or Inside?"

So funny! Just thought I would share! :-)

Just Two Little Boys...

Wonders Never Cease
by Jacqueline M. Sinkes

There are tiny little fingers pressed against my cheek,

and the palm of the hand that holds all my dreams.

There is a careful little grimace directed right at me,

and the expression of innocence that grabs me every time.

There is a pair of big brown eyes that light up in the dark,

and the window to a soul that knows only truth.

There are clumsy little legs dancing to a tune,

And a chubby little bottom to break their every fall.

There is a babble and some laughter coming from my room,

and the sounds of heaven right here in my home.

There is chaos in the kitchen, and toys all down the hall,

a reminder to us all that time is so precious.

There are cookie crumbs on the table, and milk spilled on the carpet,

but an image of simplicity and joy came with the mess.

There are car keys in the toilet

and the unmistakable sense my life is full.

There are two boys fast asleep, just in the other room,

and a mother who's convinced that wonders never cease.

Happy Birthday Josh!!!!

This past Wednesday my husband turned 33. YES, I said 33!!!!! Every year it seems like when his birthday comes I am way more excited about it then he is! I let everybody know it is his birthday and always call and leave birthday messages. Noah left him the sweetest voicemail. He sang him Happy Birthday and then when he was finished told him, this is Noah. We celebrated on Tuesday night because he had an away game on Wednesday. Love you babe!!

Oh, and as always, pictures of my favorite little boys in the whole wide world!!!!!!!
