Shorts

Today the temperature hit 90 degrees and it was definitely a hot and sticky day.  So much for a Spring-it always seems to go from 50 degrees right up to 90!  Given it was so hot we dressed Noah in shorts today-first of the season.  He was fast asleep this morning when we got him up and less than thrilled with the shorts.  He lately has become very "particular" and a few weeks ago one of his pant legs was rolled up and he totally freaked out.  He did not understand the shorts concept and was trying to pull them down this morning (I guess to make them pants?).  He seemed to get over it rather quickly and he was off to school.

I was able to pick Noah up a little earlier today and he was happy to see me when I got him.  I put him in the car and we began our short drive home.  Before we had even left the parking lot he started in with the "whys" and he had probably hit 50 by the time we made it to the house.  My favorite was part of this conversation: 
Noah- "Momma the car is sad.  He is crying."
Me- "Oh no why is he sad?"
Noah- "Why?"
Me- "What do you mean you told me he was sad?"
Noah- "Why?"
Me- "I don't know."
Noah- "Oh.  Lots of traffic!"
Not a very productive conversation but not most are with a 2 1/2 year old.  It made me laugh though and I'm not sure how he got the idea that cars are sad.  On the way home we also talked about this day and he told me he had chocolate ice cream and worked with Elisha (his OT).  It turns out that he did meet with Elisha and he was albe to eat his entire yogurt with his right hand.  Way to go Noah!  Sounded like it wasn't too bad of a day. 

After we got home I quickly changed and we were able to run to the park before picking Brad up.  We didn't have much time but Noah enjoyed himself playing on the swings and in the sandbox.  It was extremely hot for that late in the day and I'm hoping tomorrow will be a little better.  He was able to hold onto the handles on the swing with both hands and kept telling me to push him higher.  Here are a few pics:

Then it was time to go home and have dinner, bath, etc.  He was a sweaty mess from the day and a bath was definitely needed.  He has become quite a handful at bathtime as he tries to run away from me and hide in various places upstairs pretending to be asleep.  It took me a good 10 minutes to get a hold of him and then it was bath and bed.  Exhausting day! 

Happy to say that all streaks are still intact and tomorrow will mark the final day!  Has gone way too fast.  I have to say that I have become very good eating with my left hand although I may have ruined a white shirt last night with salsa chicken.  It's worth it though!  And a hugh thanks again for all the donations and support - we surpassed our $2500 goal today!  And, there is still time to donate if you'd like to!
