With all the things going on right now I thought a couple of posts here would put me back to a sense of normalcy. This weekend Noah had a lot of socializing. Friday night we went to some friends' house and watched Noah play with about 7 other kids. He interacted some but about 5 of the kids are 2 and under so they pretty much all did their own thing. He found a swing and then the night was over. The only thing Noah doesn't like about swinging is when you have to stop.
On Saturday, Noah's buddy Hayden had his 1st birthday party. It's always fun to see a 1 yr. old smear cake everywhere. They had a little kiddy pool in the back yard for the kids to play in. Most of the kids splashed in the water. They'd get distracted every now and then and then wander off exploring the Green's huge (7 acre) yard. Well not our sweet little ADHD Noah. We had to keep a man on him at all times, because he just wanted to walk around. To where you might ask? Wherever we told him not to go I respond. They have a steep embankment about 30-40 feet from the pool and its another 30 feet or so to some woods. Noah thought he was Daniel Boone or something because he tried to walk to the woods about 20 straight times. I'd let him get all the way to the woods (hoping his curiousity had been satisfied) then I'd pick him up and return him to the pool. When his feet touched the ground they pivoted and took off as fast as they could go to the woods. Once our friend Misti followed him around to the front of the house. She thought he was just looking and then would return, but not our little explorer. He set off across a 2 acre pasture. He did sleep good that night but it's comical to watch him go like that.
Maybe we shouldn't let him watch Dora anymore. He's taking the Explorer part much too seriously.
