Late December came, the week of Christmas, and with it Noah’s twelfth birthday. He requested chocolate chip waffles for breakfast, and as always the day began with hunting for hidden gifts and opening them. He received a hand knit hoodie as well as a beanie, which I had meant to knit for him a couple of years ago. It fits a bit wonky, I think the issues is in the type of wool (it’s not very stretchy), but I do love the pattern and will maybe reknit it in a different yarn. He also received a wood burning kit, some books, and a RC car. Noah always requests to go for a hike on his birthday, and we just so happened to have beautiful weather that day. We hiked in a nearby wilderness area with lots of waterfalls, and it was a long hike but so worthwhile!
We sure do love our Noah man. He loves to tinker, to take things apart and figure out how they work. He loves to make noise and has endless energy. He loves to read, especially comics because he loves to laugh and is always finding the humor in life. He is the kindest big brother to little Titus and I love watching their relationship grow. His tender heart and peaceful, sensitive spirit can often be taken for granted or overlooked, but I treasure it. He is a gift and a joy!
