Lately Noah has been improving in his excuse making ability. Perhaps he learned it from us - we're too tired or it's too hot, etc. A few days ago I went to the store while Shari watched the kids for me. She tried to get Noah to go outside to go swimming and almost had him there when he said, "Too hot" on the way out the door. Later that day Terry was on the porch with a couple youth group kids visiting and Noah wanted so badly to go out with his daddy. Terry said it would be fine but when I opened the sliding glass door and Noah saw these 2 unfamiliar kids, he said, "Too noisy," and closed the door. Just today during lunch he didn't want to eat the macaroni and cheese w/chicken I had so graciously made for him (b/c who doesn't get tired of peanut butter and jelly), when he started making excuses, "Too hot, too cold, too tired." The "too tired" remark is a favorite when it's time to potty (which he won't do unless we force him to). When it's time for an occasional nap (hit and miss these days), he says "Good morning," in an attempt to fool us that hey, I just got up and morning time just began so it can't be time to go to bed. Yes, he's coming around but he doesn't fool us much.
You might notice I have some actual recent pictures posted here. Yes, Shari has so graciously allowed us to borrow hers until we got another - she has the exact same one that we used to. Thanks Shari! And thanks Grampa Jerry for the new one we'll get next week while visiting!
The morning Shari left Noah insisted Terry get the train out for him. It's pretty impressive that Noah remembers it b/c it's been since Christmas when it was around the tree that he's played with it. He even still remembered where it was kept - the guest bedroom closet. So here he is playing with it and Evie watching on.
I like this one b/c Noah is upset that the train isn't doing what he wants it too - pouty face.
Awwwwww. She's getting so good at holding her head still, with the occasional head bobble.
