Noah Update...

I am very recently struck by the fact that my son knows "things" that I don't know he knows. For instance, last night I was laying in his bed with him and we were singing songs. I decided to sing "Jesus Loves Me" to him and he joined right in! I thought he might know parts of the song, but he knew all the words and continued to sing it several times.

Noah has also started this habit of talking about his grandparents right before going to sleep (Nana, Dooda, Grammy, and Papo). The other night he was spouting their names and I said "Let's say a prayer for our grandparents". He clapped his hands together and started saying,
"God is great, God is good, let us thank him for our pood (food)"
There is a second verse that goes something like this (from what I could understand)
"By His hands we are fed, Thank you for our daily bread"
This next part caught me by surprise (and gave me quite a chuckle)
In Jesus name, Amen.
Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, Hallelujah, Jesus, Jesus
I --- Love --- Jesus!!! YEA (there are hand and arm movements and cheering)

He proceeded to say this prayer 3 times before I told him we needed to pray with Daddy (I thought Cesar really needed to hear it). I'm going to try to get it on video, but you know how that works...he doesn't do his tricks on command!

This morning at 5:30am Noah woke up crying and Cesar went in to his room. He was out of bed and walking towards the door. Cesar asked if he was okay and he said "I pall out beh". Cesar put him back in bed and said lets go back to sleep and he said "No sleep" and started snoring. I asked him when he got up for the day if he fell out of bed and he said yes and pointed over the side of the bed and giggled. Thank goodness he doesn't have far to fall. (His bed is a mattress and box spring on the floor).

Cesar and I have a Jack Vettriano Print on the wall in our room. It's called Dance Me to the End of Love" (I think). There are two figures, male and female, dancing in fog on what looks like a beach to me. Noah will point to it and say "Daddy, Mama. Where Wowah?" He has realized that he is part of the family unit and that he is missing from the picture! Of course if you walk into the family room the wall looks like a Noah Gallery and you start to wonder if the kid on the wall has parents. Where Daddy and Mama? Ha!

Some words as Noah pronounces them:
Pood (food)
Pinger (finger)
Pea Pan (Peter Pan)
Be Carful (Be Careful)
Duhn Pall (Don't fall)
I do it (self explanatory)
