We bought Noah a digital camera for his birthday. It seemed like it was time, given what I’ve been finding on my camera lately:

We went to the Wake Up the Farm breakfast at Brookwood this morning – a sure sign that it is practically summer. Noah loved all of it – the trees to climb, the stumps to jump off of, the barn full of tractors, and of course, the pancakes. He tells me he plans to eat all of the food we bring home from the farm this year – I can’t wait to see that.

This tennis lesson speaks for itself.

Noah discovered the crocus the other day and has been keeping a close eye on them. He is waiting, it seems, for honeybees to come and visit them, because he’d like them to make him some honey to spread on his bagels. No bees yet, but we’re still enjoying the warm weather and flowers.

Noah was kind enough to provide us with a concert this morning, and we thought we’d share.

On the darkest nights, sometimes, the universe hands us a moment of grace when we know that someday, things will be all right.

A few technical difficulties (translates to my husband broke the website) are now resolved, and you can once again get a Noah fix here. Here he is lighting his wooden menorah in front of the Christmas tree – clearly it is December in the Sitkoff household.

Halloween with a two year old is very different than Halloween with a baby. Noah is very interested in costumes and candy this year, and has been talking about Halloween for weeks now. The actual holiday isn’t until tomorrow, but we’ve already quite a bit of Halloween fun.

This morning, Noah got to attend our on-campus parade with his class. He was very pleased to ride in the green stroller (not the brown one!) with his friends and to see the big kids in costume. He got to run around with his friends while they waited for the parade to start and then head back for a party in his classroom.

The most anticipated part of the day, however, came later when he took his much anticipated trip to ‘Dadda work’ for a little cubicle trick or treating. Pictures of him and the Man in the Yellow Hat visiting the office are coming soon!

Driving the Jeep is the best part.

We went apple picking a few weekends ago, hoping getting to pluck his own fruit off the tree might inspire Noah to try some. He still won’t eat apples, but he really enjoyed the trip. We rode a train out to the orchard, picked apples and grapes, and got to check out a really neat playground.
