pictures of Noah (and Hendrik)

Happy New Year!

Noah was such a cute model today I had to share the pictures. He is quite a character. My Mom knit the sweater he is wearing. We went on a hike on Ring Mountain in Tiburon - gorgeous view of the city, beautiful day. It was a boys hike as Anke was home sick resting. Bummer since it was our fifth anniversary. At least we remembered this year - last year be both forgot (luckily we BOTH forgot)


Noah is a goofball as you can see from these pix.

This morning he was cutting papers from our recycling with scissors. I left the room and came back and he had cut out a picture perfectly. "Wow", I said " You spent a lot of time and cut that out very carefully!" (I try to praise the process and effort not the end product).
He said "yeah" and then proudly said: "I cut my hair too!" I looked down on the table to see a big golden lock of hair and said "Oh Shit Noah! Mama's gonna be bummed!"

I asked later at the cafe in front of all our friends (I figured they would get a kick out of the story) if he wanted to tell everyone what mistake he made that morning, and he smiled bashfully and said no he didn't want to say. Mama still doesn't know so I guess he didn't cut too much.






We were eating lunch and I asked Anke, "Do you know where Noah is?" "No" she replied. Neither of us were too worried but we began to look around the outside mall area where we sat. Anke spotted him, he had climbed up inside the lath that the plants were growing up. I had to stop him or he would have gone all the way up (it was a perfect little place for him to climb. So perfect that when Anke saw him she said matter of factly "he's in the climbing structure".)






He is such a proud big brother. At the cafe when friends were looking at our other friend's baby, Noah spoke up: "Look at MY baby!"

Noah is pretty darn cute! Wasn't sure if those symbols on his sweater were peace signs? He's such a great teacher for all of us!
