This week, I signed Noah up for preschool in the Fall at Kids Village. He is going to be in the "Little Sprout" group. I was surprised to find that spaces were already limited, so we were forced to do afternoon which I'm okay with. I think it will be nice for Noah to get out and socialize and play with other kids when the baby comes and he's cooped up in the house. Since he is so young, I felt bad leaving him so he will just go 2 days a week for a couple hours, but I'm hoping it gives me some time to play catch up if I can get him to school and the baby down for an afternoon nap. These scheduled breaks are going to be a lifesaver for me, and hopefully for Noah as well. They have a cooking class, science class, play time, reading time and music time. It's laid out like a village surrounding a tree house. Everything was so quaint and friendly, and I was surprised how new and clean everything was. Hope he likes it...
May is always a fun time of year with everything warming up and summer around the corner. It also is special because Rylee and Kale were both born this month, which means two birthday parties for Noah. Rylee's was the the Hogle Zoo and Noah loved it. I didn't realize that kids three and under were free so I'll be taking him more often since he had so much fun. His favorite animals were probably the elephants. There was a "Daddy," "Mommy," and "Baby Noah" elephant that were really active. Eating, splashing in the water and taking mud baths. He couldn't get enough of it. I was sort of let down by the tigers who just slept the whole time we were there. I swear this happens every time I go to the zoo. He also loved the turtles which surprised me because I realized how creepy turtles are when you stare at them for a long period of time. They started to look dead to me but they yet they still were moving, it freaked me ou...
The other day I was reminded of how grown up Noah is becoming. He is starting to grasp the idea that you don't want to be naked in front of other people, starting to use bigger words like "usually" and asking more thought provoking questions. He found a spray scent freshener in the bathroom and after me explaining it to him I forgot about the conversation. The next time he had pooped I hear him asking me to come and wipe him. I walked in and he had a huge smile on his face and asked "Does it smell stinky in here?" To my surprise it smelled fruity and then he showed me the spray that he had so thoughtfully used for my benefit. He now uses it every time and loves that he is a big boy. I wondered how many times I have forgotten about how much he loves to take in the world around him and experience things for himself and I forget to include him in things like that. The other day I sent him to his room after he threw a foam toy at Bella's face when they were ...
We usually park at Nordstrom and head directly to see the fish. If you ask the kids shoe department, they give out free balloons as well. Noah usually wants a red or blue one. Then we ride the escalator as many times as I can stand before we head to the slide. This portion of our outing will end soon since they close at the end of this month. About half the time, we pick up an Oreo shake at the Nordstrom cafe and Noah likes to sit and drink it in front of the big hot fire while he colors pictures with their complimentary coloring sets the cafe hands out. We then head to the Disney store and I let him play with all the toys. I'm sure the workers there hate me because I rarely buy any of them. Sometimes he wants to stop at Build-A-Bear and look at all the animals, but usually he is too excited once I mention the slide to do anything else. On the way, we stop at Pretzel Maker to get pretzel bites and a drink that he usually can finish all by himself since he gets so thirsty runn...
