So last weekend we decided to turn our sunroom into Noah's plaroom. His toy collection (especially after Christmas) was just getting totally out of control. It seemed his toys had decided to enagage in Graham house imperialism, quickly conquering: most of his bedroom, our living room, our bedroom, half of the bathroom, and areas of the dining room. The toys had to be stopped. . . or at least contained. We voted for the latter and began the process of cleaning out, moving, and "organizing" a Noah playroom. It has turned out great, with Noah getting home and yelling, "Noah's playroom!!" You can see him in the above image drawing on his easel (an amazing present from his aunt Molly and Uncle Gary - whom he calls "Ghee"). He also likes to stand on his Elmo chair (another Molly gift) and look out the front window at the cats and dogs that often stroll by. Ever since he recovered from his illness last week, he has been in a dynamite mood! (After the last sick spell, we broke down and coughed up the extra dough for an ear thermometer. We have heard mostly glowing reviews about these things, with a few detractors. But, I mean, it gets the temperature in 1-2 seconds. Even if I have to try it 3 times to get it right, it would only take half as long as the normal thermometer, right? It's whort a shot, and i will keep you updated.) Noah has just been in the happy zone for about 9 days straight. His good mood was helped by the fact that we went and played with our friends Ella and Jonah last night, and all had a grand time. I love the simplicity of just letting kids play together, making pizzas, and watching an animated movie with friends. That's my kind of night!
