The Allers

Noah is now 2 and he’s absolutely wonderful and entertaining.  He got so many toys for his birthday and he wants to play with them all at the same time.  He loves his baseball set and basketball goal.  Today, we pulled into the garage and he saw the basketball goal box.  He said, "Mommy, thank you for getting me a basketball goal."  I was in total shock that he said it.  He told me the exact same thing about 5 different times after that.  We went to a wedding and reception on Saturday and they were having the mother/son dance and Noah looked at me and said, "I want to dance with Mommy."  Everyone at the table said, "awwwww."  He can sing the whole alphabet song and also count to 25.  He sings lots of songs also.  He sings Happy Birthday,  Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Ring Around the Rosey, Elmo’s World, and the Clean Up song.  On his two-year check-up he weighed 30 pounds and was about 33.5 inches tall.  He wouldn’t quite stand still for the height measurement but that’s about as close as we could guess.  He talks all the time and wants to know what everything is.  He also wants to know everyone’s name and he’s good at remembering them.  He knows his full name, Nathan’s full name, my full name, Ryan’s full name, Nonna’s full name, Grampy’s full name, and Uncle Dud’s full name.

Noah amazes us each and every day with the things he does and says.  He has a great memory and can tell you anyone’s name that he meets.  Last night he found a box of toothpicks unbenownst to me he spilled them out all over the floor.  After a while I kept hearing him talking/singing.  I walked in and peeked around the corner to see him picking up the toothpicks one at a time and putting them in the box while singing "Clean up, Clean up, Everybody Clean up."  This went on long enough for me to call Kourtney so she could hear him. 

Every night after his bath and while I am dressing him I ask him if he would like to pray.  He yells out "PRAY GOD", so I ask him to pray and he says "Daddy pray god" so I ask him who he wants to pray for. He tells me someone or something and I say "Thank you god for _________." 

Kourtney and I have also talked to him about Jesus and he’ll respond "I want to see him", so we tell him that Jesus is in his heart and Noah told us "Probably hiding", while looking under his shirt at his heart.  There was a Burger King commercial on tv last night and the "king" was on there and Noah pointed to him and said "That’s Jesus."  Kourtney started laughing and said that he wasn’t Jesus so Noah pointed to his heart and said "Jesus in heart."
