Pictures

I am trying to get better at taking pictures. I love looking at pictures of the boys but just don't remember to take them in the moment. I feel like I need to work at it now or poor Luke will miss out on some of these precious childhood memories. I am so blessed to have these cuties!The boys love helping me with tasks...well, Noah does and Luke just wants to be where I am. I try to get some of my tasks done while they are awake because it is a rare moment when they are both sleeping. I try to take advantage of those times to spend time with the Lord, read, work out, or do something for myself. I also feel like it is good for the boys to learn to help Mommy. They need to know that they are a part of the family and need to do their part to make the everything work around the house. They are too young to do to much on their own but do great helping me. The time and discipline is finally paying off...sometimes you wonder if it is clicking in the moment. Noah is becoming such a polite, helping boy. It is all by God's grace!Noah did such a good job helping me with dinner. He tore up all this lettuce by himself. He had to make all the pieces about the same size. I am glad he likes cooking with me. Hoping he wants to cook dinner for us one day. Wouldn't that be great!
Noah is such a helpful big brother. I try to involve him in taking care of Luke. Since Luke is teething (already has two teeth in) then Noah thought he would help him out by putting a teething toy in his mouth. So helpful!Lunch time at the Woogies house...When Luke is sleeping, I try to be intentional with Noah since I pay quite a bit of attention to Luke when he is awake. We do school, cook, play rough, play outside, games on the computer or board games, etc. Noah loves circles and is a perfectionist so this was a fun task for him. We decided to put everything in a circle around his dice tower. He did such a good job!It is hard to feed Luke these days. We have to be in a room by ourselves without any noise. Otherwise, Luke wants to know what is going on with Noah or whoever. He is a little social bug and always wanting to learn about this world he now sees. After I fed Luke, I walked out to see Noah working on this masterpiece. He had gotten them all out of the bag and told me he was putting them in rows.

Boy, Noah with the circle of toys really takes me back. John used to play with his little cars in that way. He and his Dad would spend hours making little circles and then add and add. I know I have a picture of his cars about like this one with Noah. So special!

Love all these posts...I'm finally catching up! Noah is such a precocious kiddo!
