Favorite things and other stuff!!!

I want to remember all of the sweet & funny things that Noah says and does. Everyday I try and remind myself to jot down what he says and does so here is my attempt at some recent favorites.

Last week Noah called me Cara (he is not allowed to do that). We went over again how I am Mommy and that his friends call me Mrs Harper. He now once and awhile especially when I am his teacher at our little school or church calls me Mrs Harper.

He is able to tell me who calls him what nickname he says "Papa call me noodle doodle strudel, Aunt Elana calls me Noni and Tyler call me Noah Boah". He prays for his friends who's Mommy's have babies in their tummies and prays for his baby sister. I pray that God has told him something that Phillip and I don't know yet.

He loves going to the any playground, playing soccer, baseball, and a combo of hockey and softball where he hits his baseballs with hockey sticks.

He loves Chik-Fil-A and MOE'S, strawberries, grapes, string cheese & goldfish and thinks that going to a restaurant is the greatest thing in the world (although I think we have taken him a bit to often).

2 months after our trip to HHI he still is talking about the beach, the dancing, his favorite singer on HII Shannon Taylor, swimming at the pool and playing with his family.

We are headed for another road trip in November different scenery, different climate but we know it will just as fun - We are going to Massachusetts and NY and I have been talking about the Macy's Thanksgiving day Parade. I can't wait to see his face!
When everything I have been explaining to him comes to life.

A funny conversation after a day of Noah saying why?
Noah "Why" or "No"
Mommy "Noah whenever you feel the urge to say either the words why or no stop yourself and say the words Yes Mommy"
Noah "Yes Mommy".

I am so grateful to home with Noah to share with him all the fun things and the tough days. But I would NEVER say our 2 1/2 year old has had anything close the the terrible twos.

Or big adventure after Thanksgiving is.... You guessed it POTTY TRAINING! All tips welcome

Pumpkins! Pumpkins! Pumpkins!

Well here in Hotlanta we are hoping for a fall day, but I can't complain since we don't see snow or too many freezing days like back up North. This week we celebrated Fall (even though it was 80+ degrees) with Tyler and baby Owen. We had lunch at MOE's a favorite of Noah's where he can get chips and "white dip" (sour cream) and than headed over to a Pumpkin Patch. (It's really a church that sells pumpkins but what a fun place for some pictures!) It was so sweet watching Tyler and Noah hold Owen and take care of him! How I pray that Noah will soon be a big brother, but for know he has Baby O & Baby Maddux (although I think Maddux is almost Noah's size) to oohh and ahhh over.
Don't worry that's not Ty and Noah fighting it's them playing their favorite game together "Tackle"! And I think I speak for both Shannon and I when I say football would not be our #1 choice of sports for either of them to play, but we just might not have a choice!

A pic of Noah and Mommy!

Noah and I took this picture of ourselves, not bad for a 2 year old and his Mom!
