Noelle. Run. Hide. Seek.

NOELLE

CAUGHT!  Eating snow again!

Oct. 2021 - 2 y.o.

Noelle hid between the Murphy table and refrigerator, when they asked Spencer to find her, he couldn't.  You could see him go into panic mode.  He was more fun to watch than she --scuttling to check the garage, searching the great outdoors.  We just calmly pointed to her, squatting and hiding with a big cheesy grin.

Nov. 2022 - 3 y.o.

Yep, we had 2 overnighters.  It was going to be 3 but the little one, Noelle, wouldn't mind me, so dad came and got her.  They have to mind for safety's sake.  We knew beforehand it was going to be a test run.  

In her mind it's "run, run, as fast as you can, can't catch me".  To the top of the stairs she'd go to hang her legs over.  3 times she did this and wouldn't come down....can't have the danger of that!

She was cute, tho.  We played MEAN GRANDMA which is a hide and seek game, and Noelle insisted on being on my team.  As we went snooping out the hiders she HAD to hold my hand. 

Feb. 2023 - 4 y.o.  

We dropped off Jayden and Alayna.  Their siblings crowd us at our ankles and knees.  Ainsley is the youngest who usually favors grandpa John.  Noelle comes to me and bounces, "Up!"

So, up she comes.  I squeeze and cuddle and whisper, "I love you."  

Oddly, she's rubbing my red coat.  It's not so cold outside as it is windy, so I'm all zipped up and she's rubbing my coat.  In her particularly husky voice, childlike, she explains.

"You're soft."
