Some of my favorite "Noah" memories...
- When we lived in PA, we walked to the playground almost every day. One day, you were standing at the top of the slide, screaming your head off. I came rushing over, expecting to find an injury or maybe a bee or spider or something. Nope. There was a fly on the slide. :P You were very cautious and a bit scared of things. It's a good thing you got some siblings to help you get over that!
-Also in PA, when we first learned that Nick was your brother, for sure...you were only 2, but seemed to understand pretty well. You and I made letters for your name and Nicolas' name out of construction paper and artfully arranged them on your bedroom door. We also finger-painted a swirly-blue dinosaur for Nick. I remember that day like it was yesterday...the day you and I embraced Nick in our hearts when we hadn't even met him yet.
-When you had just turned 5 and we had just moved into this house...I went into the bathroom one day to find a jigundous terd in the cat box. Knowing right away whose it was, I called you in to see what you had to say about it. You told me the cat did it, and I told you, "If we have a cat in this house that can poop that big, we have a problem!"
-You got to be there when both Levi and Esther were born, and cut both of their umbilical cords. How very special! You have always loved your siblings so very much! They were your favorite when they were babies, though I think Esther will remain your favorite for all of your life. It makes me smile to know they will always have an awesome big brother to look out for them.
-You are my best eater. Your taste buds are growing up and you'll eat pretty much anything I make. Veggies, meat, casseroles, whatever. With a house full of complainers, I soooooooo appreciate that you appreciate good food!
I hope you know how very special you are to me, and that no matter how big you get, you will always be my little boy. My little boy, dear to my heart, for you were the first piece of it to walk outside of my body. Love you, Noah!
Sweet. Cat did it? =D
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of that was the cat poop thing LOL. I love it! Noah is such a big boy now. I miss when he was like 2 and snuggly :) I am glad that he is such a good kid though :)P for the most part :) Love you Noby!
ReplyDeleteMy Noby. First grandchild, opening the door to all the wonderfulness of being a Grandma. You, like your mom, had to endure all the "firsts" that parents are not quite sure how to handle. God has given you a loving, giving heart. I am praying you will use it for His glory throughout your life. :)
