There's a girl at school who always says hello to Noah. Actually, she says "Hi, sweetie!" and she gives him hugs. The other morning she was squeezing him and whispering in his ear. I asked him later who she is, and Noah said, "Yes, we're good friends together. She likes me a lot." But he didn't know her name. I asked her one day and she told me her name is Bella. I told Noah that her name is Bella and he said okay.
Noah also was telling me how to make the number 5: Neck, big belly, frog jump up, give him a hat.. That makes a 5. Here's how you make 8: Make an S but keep going up to the top. When I was young, how did I learn? I told Noah that we didn't have such cool directions, and they would just tell the kids, "follow me!" but there weren't fun rules like that. The letters have directions too - for a K, it's down for a line, kick the tree, small line up.
