funny phrases

I wish I kept a notebook by my side to write down all the funny things Noah says. Tim and I chuckle every night about something he has said.

Last night, he was perched outside the bathroom door in the hall. Tim was in the bathroom and I figured he planned to scare him as he came out. (they do this a lot) Instead, Tim opens the door and Noah stands, hand on hip, with his other hand pointing and says, "You march yourself right back in there and wash your hands!" He sounded just like a parent! And Tim retreated just like a scorned child to clean up! (he knows better anyway!) But it sure was funny watching the interaction.

This afternoon, he comes in to ask me how to spell a word. Actually, it is about the fifth word he's asked about and every time I make him spell it first. He is always right but second guesses himself. At this word, he asks, spells, I nod and he walks away, shaking his head. He says to himself, "Go with your gut, Noah!" as he returns to his room.

He is just such a funny guy! :)

first 100%

Noah has really enjoyed school so far and is trying so hard to do well. He even got a nice note from his teacher today, commenting on how well he is doing.

Today, he was excited to share that he made his first perfect grade - an A+ - 100%! He said the teacher was going around the room, going over mistakes and missed questions. She called on everyone sitting beside him until he was the about the only child left. Noah said he panicked, thinking, "I have failed this!" I guess he thought she was saving the worst for last. He was pleasantly surprised though when she called on him and congratulated his grade!
