Yowza! This has been an action packed, exhausting weekend. And I even napped both days!

Friday we went out to dinner with Liam and his mommies, and his friend Nash and Nash’s mommies. The highlight was Noah’s first oreo cookie, which was a huge — and messy — hit. Unfortunately, Liam missed his nap on Friday, so he couldn’t make it to the beach party. Liam’s bad luck was Noah’s good luck — we took his moms’ tickets and partied like rock stars. Noah even tried to take someone else’s shoes.

Saturday, we had music class and then a pool party at the same lovely home where the Family Pride fund raiser was held a few weeks ago.

Noah is not yet a fan of the pool. He pretty much clings to my chest and tries to climb up onto my head. Over my face. When I made him spend 30 seconds in the ladybug floaty, he still clutched my head and spent most of the time urgently insisting, “No mommy no no no mommy no.”

So then we got out of the pool and had a nice cuddle and played with a big ball and ate a chocolate chip cookie. Two cookies in two days! Good times. And good crashing in the car 15 minutes later.

After a marathon nap, we had to wake Noah to get him to his haircut appointment, where he survived being bullied at the giant choo choo table by a 4 year old whose mother was supervising a sibling’s haircut and got a supershort supercute summer haircut.

But that’s not all! After dinner, Noah and I went grocery shopping at the local farmer’s market, and he ate 3/4 of a bakery fig bar — a fig bar roughly the size of an adult woman’s hand, minus the fingers.

Today he slept in, and crashed immediately after church for another marathon 3 hour nap, before we went over to his best friend Kaylee’s house for dinner.

Initially, Noah was overcome by all the choo choos and other fabulous toys, and totally ignored Kaylee and her adorable attempts to give him a hug. About 20 minutes after we arrived, Kaylee’s presence registered with Noah and he got VERY excited and gave her both a hug and a kiss. They continued to play, hug, and fight over toys until it was time to go home. We hope that Kaylee and her big brother Alex start at our new day care this fall.
