All About Mr. N

Noah has had a fun week . . . it started last Saturday at the Pinewood Derby at the Texas Motor Speedway.  I can’t believe it’s been a year since the last one.  We were all really looking forward to this year’s race, since last year a piece of tape was stuck on Noah’s racecar wheel and he came in dead last.  However, last year he did win “Best in Show” and got a pretty awesome trophy, although we didn’t find that out until a few weeks after the race.  This year, he came in second in all four of his heats, which he was okay with.

We went to watch the entire second grade sing for their “Winter Showcase.”  Poor Mike didn’t get to see much because Amelia wasn’t cooperating, and I was on camera duty.  I wish Noah could just stay this age forever!

Lastly, Mike surprised Noah this morning by coming in as the “Mystery Reader” for his class.  We had to send in five clues for his teacher to read – one per day; and Noah would come home and be like, “Do you think it could be Daddy?  The clues have been, ‘I like to cook, I play guitar, steak is my favorite food, and I like to grow spicy peppers’.”  It was so hard for me to act like I had no idea what he was talking about.  Mike read a book I got Noah for Christmas called “It's Duffy Time” about an adorable pug dog and the bond she shares with the kid in the family.  It might well have been written about Noah and Lucy, since they sleep together every night . . . it’s seriously the cutest thing ever!  The other day Noah asked me if he can get a pug when he gets married!  (I like knowing that Mike and I have passed on our loves of pugs.)

Noah colored this for me a few days ago.
