Big Brother


Can't forget this cutie who is 4 1/2 !! Noah is such a good big brother. He likes to try and carry his brothers (like he's dragging a sack of potatoes... he wraps his arms around the chest & lifts) to move them away from his toys. He knows what they want sometimes before Bill & I do, and helps them out & keeps them out of trouble. He has a hard time with them getting into his toys, or games and especially his train table -- which is really upsetting to him because they will tear all of the track off and it takes time for him to plan out the track. The twins love to watch him and try to do what he does. Hayden loves to laugh & giggle at Noah & Nate laughs when Noah tickles his neck.

The things Noah comes up with & says just crack me up. I was scraping a sticker off of a glass door (that I had put on years earlier), and I told him "You really have to think twice before putting a sticker on something, because they are hard to remove." Noah asked me "Did you only think once, Mama?" Another gem... We were eating dinner and I said that I liked the pot roast because it melts in your mouth. He ate some, and looked at me confused and said "It's not melting!" And in the car, "I like to fly places on an airplane, because they give you snacks. If you take the car, sometimes you forget the snacks at home."

What a great age!
