Noahisms

December 2019

Dave and I took Noah to a Breakfast with Santa at the Penfield firehouse. It was getting to be time to go and papa was holding Noah telling him we were taking him home. He said, “How about we go to your house?”

November 2019

Noah is three years old. On the way home he rode with us and it was raining. Dave likes to let the rain build up before he cleans the windshield. Noah said to papa, “Papa, turn your wipers on!”

He also pointed to all the signs on the road. He saw the duck crossing sign, and the deer crossing sign and knew what they were.

April 2019

Noah wasn’t feeling well so Christine took him to the doctor. Papa asked him about his doctor visit when he came to visit. Noah said, “He put air in my arm and a robot on my finger.”

Chloe and James-isms - Precious Moments with Chloe

Chloe, you were about 2.5 years old and you were visiting Nana and Papas home in January 2010. I bent down to give you a kiss and you wrapped your little arms around me and said, "I wuv you." I said, "I wuv you, too."

April 2010-I talked to Chloe and told her that I was coming to visit. She told me to "bring frosting" with me when I come!

August 2010-You asked me if I was bringing the baby when I come. Mommy told you that she was having the baby and I was coming by myself.

08/25/2010-Baby James arrived yesterday. He is a beautiful pink bundle of joy.

08/25/2010-Chloe says, "I have to check my email."

09/24/10-When I talked to Chloe, she told me, "James is still here."

02-17-2013-Chloe is so inquisitive. She asked why the times were different on the stove and the microwave. I told her the stove number is the temperature inside the stove, and the time is on the microwave.
JAMESisms-PRECIOUS MOMENTS WITH JAMES
02-17-2013 - James and Chloe spent the night with us. In the morning when Papa was in the bathroom, James told him "Papa, don't plug the toilet."

09-06-2013
James and Mommy came to visit me at work. James had just come from meeting his pre-school teacher. He was so excited. He showed me his notebook and pencil and credit card! He had a clothing tag and that he called his credit card. We went to the lunch room and before I could pay he gave the cashier his credit card! Even the cashier thought it was cute!

09-08-2013
Today we brought James's birthday present (slide) to him. The other was missing a part and had to be replaced. Papa said, "I need a screwdriver." James said, "I get it." He went downstairs in the basement and came back with the toolbox he made at Home Depot that had his screwdriver in it, had his safety glasses on, and his hammer in the other hand. He was ready.

06-06-2014
James spent the night with us. While laying down to fall asleep he commented that Chloe always sits in the front of the bathtub and gets all the bubbles. In the morning he took his bath and had lots of bubbles. When Chloe and mommy came to pick up James he ran to Chloe, put his arms around her and said, "I got all the bubbles."

06-07-2014

Another funny thing that James said was, "At Sea Breeze daddy says I'm 2. I'm not 2, I'm 3."

07/13/2014

Today was Chloe's 7th birthday. We all went to breakfast and Joe brought his girlfriend Christine. This was the first time she met Andrea, Matt and the kids. When James saw her, he immediately said, "You sit here," and he patted the seat next to him.

2017

James was about 7 years old and was with us by himself in the backseat of the car. He had been sick and had a terrible cough. Dave was driving and saying, “ I don’t know what’s wrong with this kid. He is always sick.” James says, “There’s nothing wrong with this kid!” We burst out laughing

June 13, 2020

James will be 10 years old in a few months. He told us the worst years of his life will be the ages of 13 to 15. We told him, those are the best years. After asking why he thinks the ages 13 to 15 will be his worst yeas, he replied, “Puberty.” We all laughed. He is too funny.

August 2021 Chloe and James were visiting and it was almost James’s 11th birthday. James said he was average height for a 10 year old. Chloe said he was average height for a 7 year old. We burst out laughing because James is small for his age. He took it in stride. I told Chloe to watch it because James is going to pass her up one day. April 5, 2022 James is 11 years old. Today on the ride home from Tae Kwon Do he said to me, “I told my dad to hurry up and have his midlife crisis.” I asked him what he knew about a midlife crisis and he shook his head. He said, “I wanted my dad to buy a cool car.”
