Day 7 of Thankfulness - Noah

How do I even begin to describe Noah and how grateful I am that God allowed me to be his Mother?

He is my affectionate child.  He is my PASSIONATE child.  He deals in extremes.  He either REALLY loves something or really hates it.  There is not a lot of middle ground.  This can be a fabulous quality.  It can also drive me insane.  He is really into Star Wars, dress up (like Super Heroes), reading and video games.  He is especially fond of Sherlock Holmes.

He is very social and knows everyone.  As a baby, he was very bubbly and loud.  He was a squealer.  He always babbled and lit up when people were talking to him.  He loved being held and cuddled.

He asks intelligent questions and often gives surprisingly adult-like answers.  He can carry on a conversation with just about anyone.

He knows the bible and speaks about it a great deal.  Application is something we are working on :)

He can have a very compassionate heart and cares about others (except maybe not always his brothers).

I love that he still wants to lay his head on my lap when he is tired.  I love that he still curls up at night with his "animal blanket" that I made him when he was born.

I love that he loves to dance and be silly and his laugh is hilarious and contagious!

 I cannot imagine our lives without Noah in them.  There are days that I think I will never understand him and meet his needs.  But most days, I am simply over the moon about him.  I KNOW God has big plans in store for him.  I KNOW he is going to share so much love and bring cheer to those who need it most.  What a gift!
