The latest from Noah














Noah, Noah, you are talking so much now...I remember my mom saying she wished I had a on-off button. Now I know EXACTLY what she means! When you don't know what to say next you just go "hummmmmmmmm...." and then something comes.

Here are the ones just from today:

Noah gets daddy's car keys (the ones that are broken): "It boke, Mamae..."
Mamae: "Yes, Noah, it is broken."
Noah: "Ohhhh Noooooooo..." (his face looking so worried!)

******************************************************

Mamae: Noah, do you want some massage? (after bath, before putting pjs on)
Noah: Yes
Mamae does massage, but when it gets to the feet Noah goes: Mamae, coquinha!
(Translation: coquinha = tickles in Noah's Portuguese dialect)

******************************************************

Noah, right after dinner (I should say lack of dinner, since Noah did not even touch the plate): Mamae, pretzels?
Mamae: No, Noah, no Pretzels tonight. You did not eat your dinner.
Noah: Papai, pretzels?
Papai: No, Noah, no Pretzels. We are going to sleep soon.
Noah, with sad face: Pleaasseee?
Mamae: We ran out of them Noah, we have to get more later...

An hour later Noah and Daddy are outside playing when daddy remembers he needs to go get bottle water...

Papai: Noah, do you want to go to Target with daddy? (Noah's favorite place lately: "Taget!")
Noah: Yes!
Papai: We are going to go there to get water.
Noah: Pretzels, too, papai?!?

******************************************************

Noah woke up at 5AM today...so we brought him to our bed on an attempt to get some more sleep. Of course Noah did not want to sleep anymore...so mom and dad kept trying and trying for 1/2 hour, and Noah kept quiet for that long (what a sacrifice), until he notices daddy's eyes opening for a split of a second. He goes to daddy's ears really fast and says really low so that the mean mommy does not hear:"Papai, bincah poco? Cato Noah?"
(Translation: Papai, play the two of us in Noah's room? in Noah's Portuguese dialect)
Of course daddy started laughing and it became the joke of the day on mommy!

******************************************************
Today was another good day at daycare. Oliver spent almost the whole day there. We went to get him at 3:00. He was on a buggy ride, and looked happy, but exhausted. Looong day for Oliver. Carrie and Claire are taking such good care of him, though. We could no be happier.
Noah paid Oliver a visit during the day, and is very happy to have his brother there with him!
We are very proud of both of them. We are very blessed and very thankful.

Marcio and I had a meeting with Amanda at the house to get an estimate on painting the whole house before we move in. The house is looking great, and really coming along. The cabinets are in! It is so looking like a house already!!!

It is time to go now...Marcio and I are going out to dinner, finally! :-)

Oh my gosh, they are growing up so fast! And become sassy! We are not having a great "Sara day" at our house!
