Our little guy is three years old and oh so much fun! Noah's language skills have really exploded over the past year and it has been so fun to have little conversations with him. Here are a few of our favorites:
He has proven to be quite the negotiator. Once when Wes was dropping him off at school, Noah said he wanted to go to Grandpa's house. When he was told that we were going to schoo and then later we could see Grandpa, he said, "ok, how about we go to Grandma's house, then go see Grandpa?"
"Noah’s not sad. Noah is happy.” He also told us that mommy was happy and daddy was happy. My heart swells with love each time he says it. Music to a parent's ears.
"We are almost there honey, almost there..." Noah says this to his sissy when she sometimes fusses in the car. He is such a nice big brother!
"I'm a big boy now!" Noah loves being a big boy and this has come in handy when we want him to use the potty or brush his teeth since big boys do these things.
"It is hot/cold to the day." Noah often comments on the weather and whenever he says "today," he throws in a "the".
"Cereal mommy? Mommy? I want some cereal please. Time to wake up. Daddy is sleeping". This is the first converstation we have each morning. Not sure why he likes to let Daddy sleep while mommy gets up. No fair!
“Mommy get it! Daddy get it! Bodi, eat your pizza!” Typical of most three year olds, our little guy can sometimes be mr. bossy pants. Oh, and his pal Bodi did eat his pizza.
“Sweet dreams, sleep tight, don’t let the bedbugs bite, I love you.” Nighttime farewell that we say to him each night and he repeats back to us.
“Come here, mommy/daddy, come here…” He says this so sweetly and softly. Usually when he wants us to lay down with him at bed time or help him down from the potty.
“Time out!” When Noah gets in trouble, we put him in time out. He has since used this tactic in other ways as well. When he didn’t want to share his mower toy, he proclaimed that the “Mater mower was in time out!” and he put the mower in his time out chair. When he was frustrated with his potty chair during “potty training weekend” he said, “potty chair is broken… potty chair goes into time out mommy!” and threw his potty chair in the garage.
“No…I don’t like it.” One morning when I was trying to rush Noah out the door to school, he woke up on the wrong side of the bed and was a grumpy bear. He didn’t want to do anything that morning. As I discussed all the things we needed to do to get ready, he kept saying, “Don’t like getting up. Don’t like potty. Don’t like shirt. Don’t like pants. Don’t like cereal. Don’t like school. Don’t like going downstairs.” He doing great at communicating what he wants/doesn’t want, but has a little harder time understanding when he does and doesn’t have a choice.
Noah's favorites this month:
Favorite TV show - Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. He even specifically requests which episodes he would like to watch. He also likes Super Why.
Favorite breakfast – pancakes, waffles, muffin, cereal or oatmeal
Favorite snack – “Mater snacks” (fruit snacks in shape of CARS characters), goldfish, dried tropical fruit, grapes, apples, raisins, sausage, cheese, peaches and orange slices
Favorite drink – Juice, Milk, Water (in that order of preference).
Favorite book of the month – Disney Cars "Look and Find" book. He wants to read this every. single. night. Daddy is really starting to hate this book and has even tried hiding it from Noah so he will pick another book to read.
Favorite dinners – mac n cheese, pasta/casserole, green beans, watermelon, cheesy broccoli, “mickey nuggets” and hot dogs.
Favorite dessert – Grandma Jan’s chocolate chip fudge cake! Mmmmm… can’t blame him there.
