On Christmas Noomi refused to cooperate for a decent photo, so today I put both kids back into their Christmas outfits in an attempt to capture at least one memorable picture (Noomi’s dress was sent from my aunt Lynda in Washington, which was once Anya’s holiday outfit, and is so adorable, thank you so much aunt Lynda). I even brought up a little tree that I picked up at Kohls after Christmas, hoping it would hold Noomi’s attention. Ajax did wonderful for the pictures, but Noomi just wanted nothing to do with it. The only thing Noomi seemed to find joy in was the laundry basket. So yes, that is where her holiday photo was taken.
After our impromptu photo shoot we bummed around a bit and then went outside. It was colder today than it was yesterday, so Noomi and I weren’t out very long, but the guys started work on cutting up the large limbs that fell during the great ice storm.
On a side note- Noomi is quite a spirited child and certainly in her hitting phase. At the moment whenever she gets mad she marches over and hits me! If Dave tells her no, or makes her mad, she heads right to me and hits me. I have no idea why, I didn’t tell her no, lol. Sometimes she’ll whoop Ajax on the head while he’s watching TV and so far he has been extremely patient with her. Noomi watches everything Ajax does and immediately tries to copy him. Lately Ajax has been jumping from the coffee table onto the couch, well of course this means that Noomi wants to jump from the coffee table onto the couch. Unfortunately, she’s not that good and ends up walking off the coffee table with blind faith that you will catch her. We haven’t dropped her… yet.
