After dinner, he and Travis were watching the Backyardigans Singing Sensation Sing-a-long DVD, which they just love. (Sophie had already gone to bed, otherwise she would have been nodding her head and bouncing up and down -- her dancing is adorable.)
Anyway, Travis laid down on the bean bag to watch, and actually fell asleep a few minutes into it. This is kind of unlike him, but I think he's been feeling a little under the weather lately, and when that happens he tends to fall asleep early. So, he's snoozing on the bean bag. I was puttering around in the kitchen and starting up some laundry, and I come back into the living room to find Noah climbing down from the table in front of the TV. He is expressly NOT allowed to climb up on that table, so I snapped at him. A little embarrased, he slunk his way over to me and kind of mumbled something sadly. I kneeled down on the floor and asked him to repeat it, and he says "I made it quiet so it wouldn't wake up Travis...." It was then that I noticed the volume had been turned down to an almost inaudible level. I mean, this is Noah's very-favorite-Backyardigans DVD. He never wants to watch anything else. He LOVES it. But he turned it down, because he didn't want to wake up his brother.
Also, he correctly counted to fifty-nine! (Then started back over at thirty...but still! he's a month away from turning three yet!)
So tonight was apparently Noah's night to shine.
In other news:
Ben picked up a one-wheeled bike extension for his bike, for Travis to ride. This weekend we tested out our new bike set-up and rode to a local park, Travis trailing Ben and Noah & Sophie in the bike trailer. Kids loved it, good time had by all. We're a cute little family all cycling around the neighborhood. I'd post a picture if I had one. Stay tuned.
I was considering signing the boys up for Vacation Bible School at the church behind our house, but it is 5 Wednesdays in a row and I think we'll have to miss 3 of them due to previously planned activities. I might do it anyway though, I think they'd like it.
Camping trip planned for the rest of the week, I'm officially on vacation now.
