The torch has been passed...

Patrick pulled down his Star Wars Lego kits from storage and he and Noah have been playing all morning...

Triceratops

Noah wanted to be a dinosaur today, so he made these horns and used Mickey stickers to stick them on his head!

New Lori hats

My friend Lori just made 3 more hats--Hello Kitty for me, an Imperial Astromech droid hat (I'm told it's an R2 model) for Patrick and the cutest green monster hat for Noah.

Lori is amazing & talented and we LOVE our hats! Thank you, Lori!

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.

Noah next to the bunny sculpture on the Swamp Rabbit trail

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