They have kids?

Noah: "Mom, how fast did you grow up?"
Me: "I guess you'd have to ask my Mom."
Noah: "Who's your Mom?"
Me: "Your Grandma in Carrington."
Noah: "The one who lives close to a park?"
...

Me: "Yes."
After much thought, he then asks, "Do you have a Dad?"
Me: "Yes. Grandpa. You know, he took you fishing."
Noah: "Oh. I didn't know they had kids."

Eat your veggies!

While at Caleb's T-ball game, Noah was playing with a couple little girls. When I asked him if he made some new friends he said, "No. They were mean and pushed me. But I'm tougher than them. They don't even eat vegetables!"

My little meterologist.

In the van, Caleb asked, "Why is it raining?" Noah replied, "Because the clouds get heavy and squish together and that makes it rain."

The Lone Star State

As Noah & I were leaving the Y this morning, he asked me why we sweat. I gave him a couple reasons, one of which was, "It gets rid of toxins, or the bad stuff in our bodies." He replied, "It gets rid of Texans?"

If only.

Older like me.

Today at BECEP, Noah sat in a rocking chair and when the teacher asked him if he was okay, he sadly replied, "I miss my Mom." But the teacher was able to lure him back into participation by initiating the "skeleton dance" in this season of Halloween. When I picked him up, he said, "Mom! We did the skeleton dance. I really like it. You can see it when you're older. Older when you're 3, like me."

Baby Blues

I don't know how much longer Noah will request this, but I want to write it down so I don't forget that it was a constant at this age.

"I want milk. In a blue cup."

He always wanted to drink from the blue plastic cups. Sometimes it was an all-out tantrum if he didn't get his favorite color choice!

Sweet brothers

On another trip in the van (he has some classic moments as a commuter)...we were on our way to BECEP for preschool. Out of the blue he says, "I wish I could always be with Caleb. Caleb's so sweet." pause "His hair is so soft. It's like a pillow."
