Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails

21 Dec

My little Noah Bear is 2 today! While others are chatting about the End of the World and the shortest day of the year, we are celebrating our little Winter Solstice Baby!

WHAT LITTLE BOYS ARE MADE OF

A wee bit of dirt

And a devilish grin

Curious eyes..

And spaghetti sauce chin.

 

A dollop of mud

Behind his right ear;

And a handful of worms

In his pocket, I fear.

 

You see his knees

through the holes in his jeans.

He likes ice cream,

But won’t eat beans.

 

He’s made of mudpies

And bubble gum kisses.

And wonder at Christmas

And birthday wishes.

 

A heap of giggles

And wiggles and love;

These are the things

Little boys

Are made of.

-Patsy Gaut

This morning he is having cupcakes with his friends at school and then tonight we are celebrating with our neighborhood friends with some cupcakes and juice for the kids and cupcakes and cocktails for the adults. Because, really me and Jim are toasting each other for surviving another year of parenthood!

Here is The Bear, Noah Bear, Mister Mans, Boo, Sweet Boy.

For those reminiscing with me today. Here is newborn Noah. And Noah’s 1st birthday!

Thank you to our friends and family near and far for all your support! We are truly blessed to have this sweet boy in our lives. I love you to the moon and back, buddy!
