For instance, on Monday morning I was putting Clare down for her morning nap and left Andy and Noah out in the living room. After a few minutes Andy went to check on Noah (thinking he was back with me) and found him in our bathroom, standing on the toilet, painting his fingernails. Normally this would cause me to be upset with Noah, but as Andy discovered, almost no mess and Noah actually did a decent job. We had a good laugh.
As you can tell, he has watched me paint my nails time and time again. He was clearly paying much closer attention than I ever thought!! ha.
Another Noah-ism this week...falling asleep standing up, almost. Thursday night after dinner Noah asked to play games on my cell phone and I figured it would be a good distraction for him while I cleaned up. After about 5 or 10 minutes I turned around to find this sweet sight....
Fast asleep. Earlier in the week he had ASKED to go to bed around 6:00pm! Andy and I tried really hard to keep him awake, but in the end he fell asleep on the couch. Maybe it's a growth spurt - or maybe he's catching up on some sleep after playing at Nana and Gramps house all last week!
Noah has also had a lot to say as of late.
Last night, while at dinner with friends, Noah started to take off his jacket. Andy reached out to help him and Noah quickly protested... "No! Daddy, eat your rice!" Haha.
Other things you'll hear Noah saying....
"I a han-some boy!"
"Mommy, where's your house?"
"Mommy, look at Noah!"
"Mommy, dance?"
"Mommy, you wanna play with Noah?" (Yeah, that one gets me where it counts!)
When he wants something and I ask, "What do you say?" he almost always responds, "Please-uh!"
I could go on. I need to remember to write them all down, so I don't forget! What a cute little guy, sausage fingers and all!
What are some simple things you've enjoyed this week?
