The only toy Noah likes that doesn’t have wheels are Legos. And, if we’re being honest, he really only likes those because they can have wheels. And even better, he can remove and replace those wheels over. And over. And over. All day long. Every day. For the rest of his life, if his Father’s […]
The PlayPlace Rescue.
If you’ve never done it, then either, a. You’re not a parent, b. Your kid is fearless and never panics in the realm of PlayPlaces, or c. You’re too much of a germaphobe to allow yourself to come into such a situation. The Infamous Chuck E. Cheese rescue (that was not only repugnant to […]
Top Ten Moments of Christmas.
It was a good Christmas. Many of our past Christmases have contained moments (or longer) of frustration and unmet expectations, which became exponentially blown out of proportion because of the fact that it’s CHRISTMAS DAY FOR CRYING OUT LOUD and ALL IS SUPPOSED TO BE COMPLETELY IDYLLIC. You know, like a kid busting her head […]
So You Heard It’s My Birthday…
Hi! Noah here. Clearly, you’ve arrived to celebrate my third birthday and wish me tidings of great joy. And I’m totally down with that. That’s what the comment section is for…down at the bottom of this post – after I’ve made your year with a review of mine. But the servants have been complaining that […]
A Series of Unfortunate Events.
He’s stinking cute. But he thinks too much. And also? He’s a toddler. And toddlers break things. He’s actually always been a rather careful kid, though – bred from the highest of OCD stock, he had no choice in the matter. He carefully closes every door, turns out every light, sorts his toy boxes when […]
Noah Answers Your Burning Questions.
After Noah’s last Fashion Tips video, he asked if you had any questions, and several of you did. He put a good deal of research into his answers, hence his somewhat belated reply. But he did not give up. He is here to enlighten you, make your life easier, and unearth the mysteries of the […]
The Overnight Stay.
Upon putting Noah to bed on the last night of our weekend away together, he casually asked me, “But what about the monsters?” He’d never mentioned monsters in this or any other room before, so I assured him that there were no monsters and not to worry. He did not, however, take my assurances to […]
First Date With a Toddler.
It was the perfect opportunity to accomplish several goals at once. The race series that my Dad works for (American Le Mans) was in Atlanta, and Noah has been needing to go to “Pop’s Races.” I’ve been craving some nature while the leaves are changing, and have also been desperately wanting to meet up with […]
On The Torture of Pumpkins.
Disclosure: The crafts contained herein are not Martha Stewart Approved, nor are they stolen ideas from said Martha. We must remember: I am not the expert. So our Pumpkin Saga left off with us having three nearly microscopic pumpkins, an aversion to all future field trips, and cotton nightmares for life. The children wanted to […]
Why God Made Them Short.
There are times when it would be immensely convenient for toddlers to be taller. During Potty-Training, for instance. Especially for the hand washing segment. It is a delicate art indeed to balance a child between you and the countertop so that both of your hands are available to help them while leaning on their fragile […]
