Noah's dinner conversation

Tonight at dinner, Noah talked to me about some of the things he learned at school.  The talk today was all about polygons. I asked him to tell me about polygons.  He replied, "You know. Polygons like hexagon, pentagon, octagon, decagon...all the gones."  I knew I'd forget if I didn't write it down right away!
He's hilarious.

Noah's hilarious penis talk

I'm sure the title of this post got your attention! I did snap a pic of the following conversation, but only to show Noah's daddy, as a pic of this would cause my son lifelong mortification!
Here's the conversation Noah and I had after he had his last pee pee before bed and was getting ready to put on his pull-up for night-time. Keep in mind he is naked at the time. I'm sitting on the bottom step of our stairs.  He comes up to me, holding his man sack and we have the following conversation. WORD FOR WORD:
Noah: "Mommy, why is there a big ball right there? What is that?"
Me: "Noah, that's your scrotum."
Noah: "What's a scrotum? Like, there's 2 of them. I like to play with them.  What does it do?"
Me: (Not wanting to get into baby talk or anything deep...and knowing that Noah admires his big penis, I replied) "Um....it helps to grow your penis big."
Noah: "I like my big penis.  Is there anything that grows your bottom big? I like my big bottom."
Mommy: (Who was thinking, um, CARBS but instead replied) "Protein, exercise and sleep."
Noah: "Yeah, protein and exercise make you healthy and strong."

"My penis did it."

"My penis did it. " I'm sure the title of that post got your attention...
Noah and I were sitting in his bed last night after he had a temper tantrum about going to bed.  Mommy was not amused, particularly since I had to carry him kicking and screaming up the stairs, as he refused to walk upstairs.  NOT fun for Mommy's neck.  Anyway, after we had both calmed down and discussed how we could make better choices in the future, Noah replied, "Mommy, I really didn't do it.  My penis did it."  I explained to him that it was his choices, not his penis, that caused the problem.  He then replied, "Mommy, my hot dogs did it." No, this was not a penis reference, as this kid ate 3 turkey hot dogs for dinner, and somehow the hot dogs caused his misbehavior.  Of course, by this point, I was more than amused, and we giggled it out. The things my kids say. I'm sure one day when he's a teenager and we're having our differences, I'll kindly show Noah this post as a reminder to make good choices, in order to avoid social humiliation. Just kidding.  I'd never do that...right? 

My curls are not on

While getting ready for church the other day, Noah glanced in my mirror and exclaimed, "Mommy, my curls are not on!! I have to fix them!"


He then proceeded to spray his hair with water & brushed his hair...& the curls emerged!
The things he says crack me up!!

Drive Thru Christmas Lights

While driving through the drive through Christmas lights park, Noah saw a manger light scene and exclaimed, "Oh my gosh, Mommy! I saw Jesus!"
When we continued through the light park and he saw the ark, he said, "Mommy, all the animals have to come to me to get on the boat because it's Noah's ark."
Classic.

Grammie, Jax, & Daddy enjoyed the lights with us, too!

"I'll couple you, Mama."

Noah had a rough day at school the last couple of days.  Sigh.  That's such a hard one for me.  It's hard for me to juggle that balance between giving him consistent consequences but at the same time letting him know that I love him forever, despite his mistakes.  I want to always be a soft place for my boys to fall.  So, as he went to bed early tonight, after I reminded Noah that I love him ALWAYS... even when he makes bad choices... we gave our kisses and hugs.  As I lay in the bed beside my sweet son, he gently rested his arm across my tummy, grabbed my hand and said, "I couple you, Mama."  (For those of you that aren't familiar with Thomas the Train...when the trains "couple up," they are joined and connected together.  So for Noah to say, "I couple you," it's a way of saying, "We are connected...even on tough days.")  With his gentle touch and sweet words, the stress of the day melted away.  I reached my arm across his tummy, grabbed his precious hands, and replied, "I couple you too, Noah."  My sweet son fell asleep in my arms..."coupled up."  After I knew my darling Noah was sound asleep, I quietly snuck back into his room and snapped this  picture with my phone.  I may have physically left the presence of your bed, sweet Noah...but you and Mommy will ALWAYS be coupled up.  Mommy loves you, dear one.  THESE are the moments to remember.

"Okra Whale"

Noah said the funniest thing last week. I wrote it down in my iphone and just now retrieved it.  He was watching a video about sea animals, and said, "Look Mama. It's an Okra Whale!"  I asked him to repeat what he said, "I love Okra whales!" I asked him what an Okra whale was.  He pointed to to the video, and said, "like that one...an Okra whale!" I turned my head and saw a "Shamu" type whale...an Orca whale.  SO FUNNY!

Noah's Super Sign

I had Shutterfly make me some enlargements of some of the pictures I took of Super Noah. Noah cracks me up. When I showed him the big pictures, he said, "Wow, Mama. You did a good job on my super sign." Hilarious. He actually does appreciate all I do to make things special for him.

Funny Things My Kids Say

• Noah got diarrhea this past week for the first time in his life. (How he made it to almost 4 years old without this event is a wonder!) He said, "Mommy, my bottom is sick."
• I constantly talk to Noah about his choices; good choices, bad choices.  I came home from work this week, as he said, "Mommy, I made a bad choice on Jackson."  I asked, "What bad choice did you make on Jackson?" He replied, "I pushed him down." I think he gets the concept.

Noah's funny words

NOAH'S FUNNY WORDS

• Tonight, I took Noah to Mercados with me to pick up some Mexican food.  He loves to get some of the swirl ice cream while we wait for the food. But he doesn't pronounce it swirl.  He said, "Mommy, I'm going to get a squirrel ice cream." Funny!
• Something else...although I've told him the name of Target 100 times, the word Target doesn't make sense to him...so any time we pass Target, he says, "Look, Mommy. There's Guitar-get." Oh, I love the things my Noah comes up with!
• When Noah sings Silent Night...He ends with, "Sleep in Heavenly PLEASE...Sleep in Heavenly PLEASE."
