random noah notes from september thru november

noah likes to give open-mouth sloppy kisses. he sometimes holds my cheeks and presses my face to his.

he has a few pairs of pants that are too long, and i roll them up sometimes. tonight he wanted me to roll up his shirt. he said it was too long.

he likes to say "love that one." or "don't like that one." he likes to make clear what makes his cut and what doesn't.

likes talking about cobwebs. there were cobwebs in his nose, cobwebs on aviva’s neck - any bit of dust or shmutz is a cobweb.

i had a ponytail and it was different. he didn’t like it i guess. he said “take. off. hair. again.”

he likes to sing twinkle twinkle little star, and he sings it to himself. sometimes as he’s playing, and sometimes to himself in his bed. it’s singing, and not talking. there’s a little bit of a tune. and he likes the hand motions also.

the other day as we were leaving aurea’s house and he was playing with sidewalk chalk, he was holding the chalk. finally he agreed to put it down on the step and we could go. i said “say bye bye to the chalk.” and he waved to the chalk and said “bye bye chalk.”

he often wants to do things himself, and he says "fuff!" that's his word for "self." 

also he says "sizzies," and that could mean cereal, salad, or scissors.

he tells me where to kiss him. he says "kiss here. and here. again."

i said to say goodbye to someone and i told him, “say goodbye, noah.” and he said “goodbye noah”
