things to remember about noah

there are a couple things about noah that i just can't let myself forget
because they are so sweet and i love them


1. noah has a little stuffed animal doggie he named ned
he's had him for a few years
 (i think he came from the pullman ER when he had his bike crash. not sure)
 and he calls him his brother
lately he's getting even more in to it and buckles him up in the car
and counts him as part of our family (3 boys, 4 girls)
he hopes that if/when we have another baby, it will be a boy
and that he has blonde hair and glasses and we call him ned

2. noah cares a lot about people
and cannot bear the thought of a homeless person
a couple weeks ago we passed a homeless person at walmart
and noah started getting upset and even said he hated our family
when we asked why he said because we didn't help that homeless person
so i promptly did a u-turn and we took him some of our food and water
afterward, noah felt better 
and said, "remember we saw a house for sale? maybe we could buy it for him"
he often prays for people who don't have food or homes that they can find some
i am glad he has a tender heart and reminds us to share what we have

3. noah takes pictures with his eyes
he has done it for a long time
i often see him either winking one eye or blinking both
when he's taking a picture 
he says he's saving them for Jesus
when he dies he's going to show Jesus his pictures
of all the special moments
he even has us pose sometimes while he takes our pictures

he is such a sweet and special boy
i am so grateful to be his mama

ps. as far as tv free goes, we went 11 days
then today i tried having it out to let them watch one movie
and noah complained about it being out
saying he just wanted to read instead
(despite wanting it yesterday)
and hazel fussed the whole time the movie was on, too.....
so we'll see
