Noah reading about eagles

Mom took this video today; Noah was reading from a book about birds. This is NOT a book that we've had for a long time, nor is it something that we've read to him...

He's pretty amazing...

(We can't figure out how to flip it so it's up & down....if someone knows how, let me know!)

Noah's new rating system

He's learned the thumbs up/thumbs down way of indicating preference.

Eiffel Tower

Tonight, Noah was drawing pictures, and he drew the long, skinny shape and asked us what it was. We guessed a crayon, a long house... Noah said, "It begins with an 'E'" and drew an E. He then drew the "I." I guessed "Eiffel Tower?" He grinned really big & said, "Right!" and continued to spell the rest of it (Eifl Tour--not perfect, but you understand what he's going for...and did you get that he KNOWS that it's EIffel?? He got the "EI" for cryin' out loud.

Then Patrick asked him, "Noah, do you know where the Eiffel Tower is?"

Noah responded, "France!"

He's scary-smart, that boy.

LOVE his expression. He was purposefully trying to make a silly face!

Hunting the elusive Swamp Rabbit!

I think we found him!

Spiky hair

Noah wanted to have hair like an apple stem, all spiky. This is what we came up with!

Oh, the fun we had today!

We had a great Sunday--I stirred the water in our Sea Monkey tank, and am surprised at how big they've gotten. Well, big by Sea Monkey standards, anyway. I still don't see any girl Sea Monkeys. How do you know they're girls? They're the ones wearing the bikinis. You know--like it shows on the package?



Then, Noah decided he'd use up ALL the tape in the house (no, I'm not kidding. ALL.), and would make himself into a Mummy:


And here's what happened when I asked the Mummy to make a scary face:



Then, I plugged in our Fisher Price "My Toon TV" (it's this camera thing that you can take pictures of your face with--which he loves--and superimpose the face onto cartoon characters, which then dance around the TV screen and the camera shows Noah dancing on the TV screen, too) using the iPod for music. Noah insisted we play Halloween music. Whether this was inspired by the Mummy "outfit" or if it's just because Noah really, really, REALLY loves Halloween, I'm not sure. So, this is him dancing around, having lots of fun:



(I plan on using this when he's 17, ready to go to Prom.)

Enjoy!
