First day of preschool at Journey School
Just a quick update… Noah started at a new school today, called Journey School. He had no problem adjusting to the new environment and started making new friends right away when I dropped him off this morning. I was prepared to spend some time with him to make sure he was okay at his new school, but he didn’t need me around for very long before he started to dive in and explore everything at his new school. Within a few minutes of exploring, he wanted to leave his classroom and go...
Read MoreNoah’s First Big Bike Race!
Over the weekend, Noah entered his first real bike race at the local indoor velodrome race track, and he had a super big fun time! He was the youngest rider in the 3 to 4 year old category, and he ended up winning the race! It was amazing to watch and so much fun to see him having that much fun. He tried really hard and did great, and he had so much fun that when he finished the second little obstacle course race, he went back out on the track by himself and said to me “I should run...
Read MoreFirst bike ride together with Papa!
Last night was a historic night. Noah and I rode bikes together for the first time! He’s been getting so fast on his run bike that I can no longer keep up with him on foot, so I grabbed my bike an rode with him in the park. This opened up a whole bunch of new possibilities for where we could explore together, and we discovered a bigger hill on the side of the park that was much more fun than the old, gentler hill in the middle of the park. As he got better on the hill, we kept going up a...
Read MoreSledding into the New Year!
The first family adventure of 2011 happened today, the first day of the year. There was just enough snow on the ground from our last snow storm a couple days ago to have some sledding fun and giggles and snowy smiles. Noah is very good and holding on tight to the ropes inside the saucer and loves it when I spin him around as he goes down the hill. We all had a super fun time today in the snow, going up and down the hill 15 or 20 times. Hope you enjoy the video. Sorry for the shakiness of the...
Read MoreHalloween and lots of words!
Noah is now a couple months into his second year and his language is starting to explode! Seems like every day he comes out with something new, something funny, or some super long sentence that tells a whole story, as you can see at the end of this latest video. The other day we were at REI picking up a few things, and when I showed him a pair of new winter gloves, he took them and immediately said, while examining them, “Ooohhhhhh…Papa, these are perfect for me!” A little...
Read MoreNoah’s first bike
The time came and Noah’s legs were finally long enough to allow him to get his first run-bike…a bike that has no pedals or brakes. Bubby Sue and Grampa Jeff helped us get this bike for the little monkey (thanks, guys!), and he’s been in love with it since the moment he got on it. The first three days we had it, he wouldn’t let us leave it in the car…it had to be in the house, where he could ride it around and around the living room and kitchen. I know how he...
