Good to know even in sweatpants, I'm still loved.

I wore a dress yesterday welcoming the official start of beautiful weather. Noah was a big fan. Today, he loved my denim capris even more and kept touching them before I left the house this morning saying they were "sooo soft!"

This evening after dinner:
Noah: "Mommy, even though you aren't in pretty clothes anymore, you're still really beautiful."

So sweet, just like his dad!

Below are my "soooo soft" capris and some of my wonderful AAUW coworkers commemorating denim day.

Great way to start the day

So every morning, I wake up and make myself breakfast and most of the time, I make Noah's too. So this morning the following conversation took place.

Noah: "Daddy, is this juice old?"
Me: "Noah, I think that is from yesterday. It's a juice packet, so it's ok to drink."
Noah: "We don't drink old juice, like really old juice."
Me: "No, we do not drink really old juice."
Noah: "Daddy, you are really old."
Me: (Laughing) "Thank you, Noah."

So it's been more than a WEEK since the last post, and boy, what a week it has been. This post is going to be an over abundance of NoahEthanisms that I will forget if I don't pour them out right now....


From this evening while getting a hair cut (yes, those are 3 inch curls getting hacked)
Noah: "Mommy, I want Indi's hair." (His BFF with straight, blonde hair)
Me: "You can't have his hair. You have your hair and it's lovely and curly."
Noah: "But I want straight hair."
Me: "Well you can't have it."
Noah: "Then cut all my hair off!"

Today: Science Center & lunch with Krysta
Noah: "I love Krysta. And I love Panera."
Me: "Good. Did you have fun today? What was your favorite part?"
Noah: "Panera with Krysta. Can she hang out with us everyday?"
Me: "Well sweetie, she can't. She has a life and things to do."
Noah: "Do you not have a life? Is that why you spend so much time with me?"

Thursday: Planned Parenthood rally
Noah: "Mommy, I want a sign."
Me: "Noah, the sign is about boobs, and you don't have any."
Noah: "But you do. And I used to use them."

Wednesday: Babysitting Amelie
Noah: "I love Amelie. Can we keep her?"
Me: "She's not ours to keep. And Indi (her brother) would miss her."
Noah: "But I promise to take care of her and feed her and stuff."
Me: "Noah, she's not a pet. She's a baby."

Tuesday: One Day Without Shoes
Noah: "I want to go without shoes because lots of kids don't have them. Can I give them mine?"
Me: "That's very sweet of you. But if you give away all your shoes, what will you wear?"
Noah: "Socks. I have plenty of them."

Monday: Our picnic at the lake
Noah: "It's so nice out, I want to go swimming!"
Mommy: "You don't want to get in that water, it's pretty dirty."
Noah: "Mom, it's water. Even if it's dirty, you will still get clean."
Mommy: "Don't call me mom, I'm mommy."
Noah: "Whatever you say, mom [laughs]."

Keeping priorities straight...

Jamie: "My head hurts Noah."
Noah: "Well daddy, you should stop and rest it. Then we can go to Chic-fil-A."

Noah knows that Chic-fil-A = ice cream.
