Crafty Boys

Hot Chocolate mustache smile.
Nicolaas decided one day that he knew how to colour in the lines, and now always does. He is a very bright boy, and is always ready to learn new things. He has almost mastered Phonics and is able to read most three-four letter words. It's so fun to watch him grow up. He is a real blessing in our house. He takes good care of his little brothers, as well as instructs them how to play... Much to Noel's dismay. He loves listening to the Bible Word and Song CDs, and has many texts memorized from there. He was showing Noel how to use the toilet one day, and I heard from the kitchen," Noel! Depart from your evil ways!"Noel is a sweet, smiley joy to have around. he is very tenderhearted and hates to see his brothers crying. He always tries to comfort them by handing over his favourite car and a hug. Noel's a bright little boy. He is talking a lot now and making 2-4 word sentences, and always trying to say new things. He loves trying his 'ACB's', counts to 10, knows his colours, and is very attentive to detail.
Okay. I am so proud of Noel. He has been off the soother for almost a month now. One day I decided it was the time. he had been asking for it all day, so I took it to the sink and snipped the top off. I was laughing when I showed the broken soother to him. He gave this laugh of disbelief, "Oh no.. sue-sues all broke!" So he ran to his room to get his other one out of the crib, so I grabbed that one and cut it discreetly too. He walked around all day, "Oh no... whiiite sue-sues all broke... boo(blue) sue-sues all broken." Poor kid! He's doing very well considering.
