| Noah drew this person all by himself. I was so surprised. It's the first recognizable thing I have seem him do. My only direction was "start with a circle for the head" and he did the rest. True, I was just drawing all kinds of stick people for him to draw the faces in, but for my little guy that hates to draw, I was thrilled with the result!

| We made these the other day. It was fun, although Noah did not care to help me accessorize, which I could have done all day. Fun to use a few things from the magazines I have been saving for the last year or so.

| Noah, always the entertainer with his conversations, has said a few funny things lately. One long monologue went something like this:
"Mommy, when I turn 4 on my next birthday, you will go to the 4-years-old consignment sale and I will get for my present some old fashioned blow up roller skates. You will see them at the 4-years-old consignment sale and I will get the green ones and Zeke will get the blue ones and I will put them on like this (imagine him pretending to put on shoes) and then I will fly all around like this (imagine him waving his hands through the air as though they were rockets) pshhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeewww."
This has repeated itself with little variation over the last week. He has dropped the "old fashioned" description, though, in favor of calling them blow up roller skates. We think he means rocket-equipped roller skates, as seen on Clifford's big movie, where a cartoon dog does stunts with rocket-propelled roller skates. Hopefully in the 9 months between now and his next birthday, he will either forget about this or learn the difference between cartoons and real life. Also, I have taken him to one consignment sale, where he got a decent toy for all of $2, but it obviously made an impression. And what would blow up roller skates be if his best friend/hero Zeke did not also own a pair?
And the other day, Jared and Noah were pretending to listen to each other's heart beats. Jared was making various thumping noises to simulate the sound of heart beats. These sounds turned into the accelerating "bah-dump, bah-dump" that is the famous Jaws song. Then, the heart beat turned into the Imperial Death March, which Noah recognizes and also sings pretty close to perfectly, pitch and all. We call it the Darth Vader Song, of course. So, then the following conversation occured, through giggles:
Jared: Oh No, Darth Vader's inside me!
Noah: I thought God lived inside you, but it turned out to be Darth Vader.
Hope those made you smile. And I am currently uploading another fun movie on YouTube of Noah making Lucy laugh. And a few new pictures up on Flickr.

| So, I posted a new group of pictures on flickr, and this one is by far my favorite: 
Jared launches Noah into the air, and he just begs and begs for more. I just had to snap some pictures of it to show Jared how high Noah was going...he was surprised! A few more are posted on our flickr, check em out!

| Saturday was an eventful evening. Noah was pretending to be superman, and jumping from our brick planter onto our patio. On one of his "flights" he landed on a big bouncy ball. Of course, his feet flew out from under him, and he hit his head on the corner of the planter. I was inside with Lucy, and Jared was out with him. Jared scooped him up to comfort him, and noticed that the back of Noah's head was soaked...so, he ran him inside and said, "he's bleeding all over the place!"
So, I laid him across my lap and rinsed and rinsed his head over the tub (what parent hasn't done that?) Once I got a good look at the cut, I knew we were headed to the hospital.
We got the the ER, and learned that we had a whole separate urgent care center for this sort of thing, so the nurse sent us over there for what was supposed to be a shorter wait. Jared and Lucy went back home after we realized that it was going to be a while. Once the doctor finally saw us, he took one look at Noah's head and said, "That's going to take some staples." Noah head the word staples, and started crying instantly. I told him not to worry, it wasn't like the staples we have at home. Of course, I soon learned that it was EXACTLY like the staples we have at home. Luckily, his skin was numbed first! 3 staples later, and we were on our way home. We get them taken out next week. Thank goodness for a highlights magazine and the spider man coloring book and crayons they gave us, that entertained him for almost the whole 3 hours we were there. Of course, this happened right before we planned to give him a haircut, so now he is going to be really, REALLY shaggy before we will get to that. Poor Jared can't even look at his head right now, so we will need to wait for serious healing before we can cut his hair!
