For Noah's birthday this year, we had a choo choo train party. He is obsessed with trains and cars and he picked out the theme for the party (based on a short list I offered him, of course). We had train hats and whistles for all the little guests, cupcakes, train coloring sheets, and a train pinata. Thankfully, the stormy weather held off long enough for us to have the party out in the backyard (but it was really cold). No one seemed to mind and the kids just ran around, played soccer, played tball, played in the sandbox, and blew bubbles, while all the adults had a good time catching up with one another. Me Me & Pop Pop, Grandma & Grandpa, Uncle Tony, and cousin Tyler ALL made the trip to see Noah on his birthday. It meant alot to me to see all their faces and support my big boy. ANd I know it made Noah super happy to have a day dedicated solely to him. I mean, what 3 year old doesn't wish that could be everyday of his life???
Me Me, Pop Pop, Uncle Tony, and Tyler stayed for several days and the boys just played and played together. Of all the children that Noah plays with, I have never seen him play as well with anyone as he does with Tyler. They are like 2 Peas in a Pod. I wish we lived closer to one another so these boys could see each other more often :(
But to share more about Noah (since this post is ALL ABOUT HIM): He absolutely loves candy, desserts,and chocolate (totally blaming this on Daniel), he rides his tricycle at mach speed (and practically barrels into David if I turn my head for an instant), he loves to have books read to him, loves playing with David and will drop whatever he is doing to be with him, he loves cars and trains like no other, and he loves to color, paint, stamp, and practice using his safety scissors, or doing anything crafty (not sure where he inherited this from because he definitely didn't from either of his parents). Noah is a super sweet boy who still loves to sit in your lap, hug you, and seek your attention constantly. He talks SOOOOO much and I am constantly having to remind myself that he is ONLY 3 when I think I can just talk to him like an adult. Although he is the big brother and has had to adapt to no longer being an only child, he still finds his sweet ways to show his love for David by bringing David his "Elmo" or paci when he is sad, sharing food off his plate that he knows David would like, jumping up to pick up David's cup or fork off the floor at the table, and giving him hugs before bed. We love him soooo much and can't believe how quickly he is growing up!
Oh yeah, Go Red Wolves!
HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY, BIG BOY!!!
