The Sweetest Thing, EVER!

Although it is currently past bedtime for Noah, he is wandering around, not willing to go to sleep. I think we are done with naps, at least until summer and we are outside more. Despite being somewhat irritated, Noah is the sweetest thing I ever created. Yup. It's true. Sweetest thing ever... and five points to prove it.

1. Noah loves temples. He gets very excited whenever we see a temple driving anywhere on I-15 and he sees one. Lucky for him, on some drives, that means he gets to see six. Aren't we so lucky to live so close to the temples? He loves pictures of the temples, too. He loves the little pass along cards that are published by the church and carries them around and says, "Look, Mom! The Temple!" His enthusiasm for the temple is absolutely amazing and I have no idea where it came from. It is just as though somewhere deep inside he knows about the wonderful and special things that happen at the temple. It is very special and my words are not doing this justice at all. Now, when he sees a temple, he wants to sing, "I Love to See the Temple." Priceless.

2. Speaking of singing, my little guy loves to sing. He sings everything. This week, besides "I Love to See the Temple" his favorite songs to sing are "Rock a bye baby," "Happy Birthday to You," and "ABC's." It amazes me how many songs he knows. The other day when we were in the car he started singing along with Lady A. So funny to hear him sing, "... all alone and I need you now-ow-ow." Love it! Expect to hear more from him as he loves, loves, loves to sing.

3. Second to singing, he loves to dance. He will come into my bedroom and ask me to turn on the radio and start dancing to whatever is on. He especially loves to dance to hip-hop style stuff, on the bed with his arms flailing! I'm not an expert on hip-hop, but Jocelyn says he has some pretty good moves!

4. Loves to say, "I wuv you." And it makes me feel so loved, too. He rubs my arm and leans his head in and says so sweetly, "I wuv you, Mom." He has also been telling me lately, "Mom, I wuv Topper boy."

5. And last but not least, to prove how sweet he is... while I was getting the kids ready for church on Sunday, I put Emma (in her dress) up on the counter to comb her hair. Noah said, "Oh, look, Mom! Emma is a princess!"

So that's it. Proof that my boy is the sweetest thing ever!!
