Eating out is quite different these days....we now have a child (not a baby) who quietly colors at the table instead of fidgets/cries, sits in a booster (not a high chair), get his own kids' meal...and actually spends the majority of the time eating it all! Just when we thought eating out would always be a miserable experience...we are actually enjoying it.
Here is Noah getting ready to go to school on "Pajama Day" (not without first saying Good-bye to his precious farm animals) Pajama Day was coincidentally I think the coldest day in Georgia history---it couldn't have been more than 15 degrees that day. Luckily the kids stayed inside in their nice cozy pj's and made pancakes.
Yes...this is a picture of our child...hugging....a pig. He got these 5 plastic farm animals for Christmas from his Grandpa Lee and Grandma Terry...and out of all the tons of xmas gifts this kid got, these are by far his favorite. He plays with these animals ALL day long, carries them from room to room, loads them in and out of his dump truck, tucks them into bed...it is quite comical.
If we come near the animals he gathers them all up in his arms in this protective pose and shouts very loudly "NO! MINE!" When I saw this picture I was thinking it was a really cute picture of Noah's face and maybe I could crop it and blow it up...but there's just nothing I can do about the fact that he would still technically be practically kissing a horse's behind.
We got a Harry & David Fruit of the month subscription from David's brother Mike and sister-in-law Bea and Noah has been in heaven enjoying the delicious pears. If he spots one on the counter he climbs up in his high chair and says "MY PEAR! MY PEAR!" and proceeds to eat the entire enormous pear...he occasionally shares a bite with Mommy if I ask nicely.
The fun of playgrounds in the winter. Check out the static hair!!
The hair is so funny!
Noah also got for xmas an electronic cookie monster and one of those latest craze "Elmo Live" dolls. I think he believes the real characters from Sesame Street have come to live with us. He has no idea they aren't real. They sure do seem real. Elmo laughs, tells jokes, tells stories, raps, sings, dances and interacts with Noah. We've caught Noah trying to feed him on several occasions (when Elmo asks for a snack), tucking him in, giving him kisses and forcing him to kiss Cookie Monster...which I'm pretty sure he hasn't seen on the show yet!
More fun with Elmo
Walking in mommy's boots...easier said than done. I had no idea he found them but he had them on (the correct feet) and was walking around the house before I even noticed.

Don't you just love it when children have an imagination that they use for playing?! It will serve him well. And, from experience, I highly recommend teaching him to PUT the SHOES BACK when he is done playing dress up. I have had trouble finding shoes before.... Great pictures! Thanks for sharing!
