Twitter: May 2011

May 1: I spent part of the morning figuring out how to take apart various pens & put them back together again. Seem familiar?

Mary 3: Drawing in the shower with my new crayon. Can you spot the F and the P? 

May 4: At last week's playdate with Katy's, we played with many toys including her strollers and babies... 

May 4: What can I say? Pushing a stroller is pretty fun (although I try to push mine, it is still a bit big for me to push on my own).

May 4: NQ: Noah, can you say water in Chinese? Me: "water in Chinese".

May 6: Today I had my first school outing. We went to the zoo and I even got to feed the kangaroos.

May 8: NQ: Noah, can you tell a joke? Me: "No." Pause. "Joke".

May 8: On Saturday, I went to Audi's birthday party. It was me and eleven 7 year old girls... needless to say, I had a blast. [and I am not being ironic... have not yet mastered that nuance!]

May 8: Playing the who eats what puzzle game in maman's fuzzy pink slippers. 

May 9: Feeding the lories with Daddy.

May 12: Playing choo choo train with Jelia. Off to the refueling station after having dropped off our passengers.

May 15: I can sing a few songs: baah baah blacksheep, BINGO, twinkle (though I often end up singing a mashup of all my favorite songs).

May 15: I can sing some songs and say some words in Chinese (or at least that's what I let my parents believe when they don't understand me!).

May 15: I can do three-piece puzzles (Mama, if you are reading this, I think it's time to try four-five pieces).

May 15: I don't like: not getting my way (ex: not wearing the clothes I chose, being put in the stroller when I want to walk), eating pasta.

May 15: I also don't like it when people do not pay attention to me.

May 15: Overall, I am at that liminal point between fully talking and saying a few garbled words. Such an exciting and fun time.

May 15: I am stubborn and can get a bit pesky when I don't get my way but can generally be persuaded (via reason or other fun things) to drop it.

May 15: Overall, I am a happy smiley cuddly boy who chatters gaily to himself while playing, running around or hugging and kissing all around.

May 15: Big hugs and kisses to all my loyal twitter followers.

May 15: I had a good surprise prepared for maman this morning. I sang the alphabet...in Spanish. Thanks for the Spanish-speaking table GG & Grandpa!

May 25: Noah Quote: "Je t'aime maman".

May 29: I have a new nighttime tradition: I cuddle with maman & dad on the couch in the darkened living room watching for lightening (splat, splat)...

May 29: While we lie in the dark watching for lightening, we listen to music, tell stories, hug and kiss. What a nice end to the day.

May 30: At my friend Luna's birthday party this weekend, I played with many toys including this top. It seems to work better when I put a hand on my head rather than on on the top!
