Some Interesting Observations From Noah

There are a ton of things that I want to write on this blog when I have the time, but here are a few quick ones about Noah from the past week:

1) When we got home from vacation earlier this month, Noah looked at our two cats and said, "Hi Daphne, Hi Big Striker."  Suddenly, he was calling Striker "Big Striker."  We don't know when Noah learned the concept of "big."  In fairness, Striker is about twice as big as Daphne.  Noah also calls me "Big Dada" from time to time.

2) We were at Wal-Mart last week when we bought some Christmas candy canes from the clearance rack.  Noah really wanted to open the package.  I said, "we have to buy it first."  Noah must have thought I said "we have to bite it," because he began biting the package, and he wouldn't stop.  He was determined to eat those candy canes in the store.

3) Finally, Noah likes anise seed cookies.  I think everyone on my mom's side of the family needs to be made aware of that.

Every day is a fun adventure with Noah, that's for sure.

How Our Cats Spent Their Tuesday Afternoon

Last Tuesday, Angie was substitute teaching, I was home, and Noah took a nap in the afternoon.  During his nap, I went downstairs to get some work done.  When I came back up, I found Striker on the La-Z-Boy...

...and Daphne on the couch (her head is near the bottom, in case you couldn't find it in her giant ball of hair).

I guess they were exhausted after a long day of sitting around and eating.  It's nice to know that I work full-time so that the cats can just lie down on the furniture all day long.
