Eva was clomp clomping down the hall, wearing my shoes and announcing "here comes Mommy! Me pretending me are mommy!!"

First Writing
Big happenings at our house this week - Noah wrote his first sentence on his own. While he was in his room by himself during rest time he made the card below for Grammy. Previously, he's only written his name or Eva's by himself, everything else he demands we tell him how to spell.
We've been making him sound it out himself, I guess it is working and he is getting a bit more confident.
At any rate, the card says "Noah I Li U" (translation: Noah I love you)
(translation: he is really just trying to say "I love you" but begins every piece of work with "Noah")
(of course it is written entirely backwards, but hey, ANYONE's kid can write a sentence in the correct direction. You go ahead and write a mirror image of a sentence and see how well you do)
(and the thing on the bottom is a big toothy smile that was "so happy he had to be all colored in")
(I die :) )

Big plans
Noah, looking at the picture of the Milky Way that is the default computer background...
"Look at that - that's outer space! I can't wait until I'm an astronaut when I'm a grown up and I can go there"
(That was where my engineer heart felt happy and proud)
"I'm going to go there, go into the computer and you will see me there"
(That was when my engineer heart felt a bit concerned...)

Birthday Present
Noah made his friend Rafe the most awesome present for his birthday.
(it says "Rafe" on the points, then "4", "we love you, by Noah")
He designed and wrote it all, I just told him how to spell the words. I am one proud mama.

Chocolate
Because the only appropriate follow up to snow is hot chocolate
(of course, not too hot, but still sugary and delicious)
Must be a special occasion
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

Sledding
Turns out Noah is old enough to actually sled. Chad took him to the nearby elementary school and he was awesome.

Blizzard!!
So we had a bit of snow...
And it took us a while to dig ourselves out...
It wasn't so easy for the grown-ups to walk
but we cut through eventually
It was awesome to see Noah managing the deep snow so well
Then we had to actually dig ourselves out and find the car. I thought I had left it in the driveway somewhere...
Oh, there it is, thanks Eva!
Best weekend snow ever. :)
