Noah Bear

For Noah's birthday post this year I thought I'd give a glimpse into Noah's life right now.

favorite songs:
"We'll Bring the World the Truth" knows every word, sings throughout the day (all day, every day), even sang it in Primary by himself!
"Make A Man Out of You" from Mulan, dances, leaps, jumps, sings, and drums to it on repeat for as long as I can take it.
"Little Drummer Boy" this one has the greatest longevity it started during the Christmas season last year and has continued throughout the year. He is very particular about the arrangement it has to be Josh Groban singing it.

favorite toys:
garbage trucks, recycle trucks, street sweepers

favorite foods:
chocolate milk, mac and cheese(preferably not mom's kind...he asks for the unhealthy kind), he is still like Elf "every things better with a little syrup on it." Who is teaching him these healthy habits???

favorite activities:
swinging, riding bikes, going to the park, swimming, taking baths, helping dad (chasing daddy, wrestling daddy, rocking out with daddy), going to the library, playing with friends, reading books, watching garbage trucks etc. on youtube, making clara laugh, making everyone play pretend (being firefighters, grandmas/pas, neighbors etc.)

favorites shows:
curious george, wonder pets, and little bear

my favorite noah times:
every night dad reads noah stories and then calls me in for prayers and then I stay with noah to sing songs and talk. We usually sing a few made up songs and then a few primary songs together. It's my precious snuggle time that I pray lasts for a long, long time.

favorite noah"isms" of late:

noah: "Mom sing me a nice bad guy song"
me: "But bad guys aren't nice"
noah: "Some bad guys are bad but some bad guys are learning to be nice, right mom?"

noah calls the wrinkles that you get on your fingers and toes bathing "sprinkles" and so often holds up his hands in the bath and says, "uh oh, sprinkles" knowing he will soon need to get out.

last year in joyschool I taught a whole lesson on this concept which last night during our pillow talk he brought up again.
noah: "mom, you love me when i make a mistake?"
me: "yes"
noah: "but you don't love my mistake"
then he recalled back something I did a few months ago (which he thought was a mistake) and applied the same thing to me. Telling me he still loves me, but doesn't love my mistakes. Glad to know a few things are sinking in.

I love this boy so much, what a joy! Happy 4th my super Noah!
