awards and eating boogers

Last week Noah was selected for the CEO award at school.  Rob and I headed over to watch them present his cute little award.  It was so fun to see him in action at school. 


Noah is OBSESSED with any ocean creature- especially sharks, dolphins, and whales.  We read his ocean books over and over and he has memorized them line for line can rattle off all sorts of random facts about these creatures, it is pretty cute.  He is always making books with ocean based story lines and pictures...so that was his award- for his creativity in stories and drawing pictures.
 
I have no idea where he gets his love for sharks from...ha ha
Funny/gross story- While the kids were sitting on the carpet waiting for their turns I peeked over at Noah and saw him put his finger right in his mouth- I was mortified and knew he had just picked his nose and eaten it.  I elbowed Rob not expecting him to actually do anything but he yelled 'Noah' to get his attention to tell him to knock it off.  And I am not one bit surprised he now has a cold.  Is that a boy thing?  So gross! He knows not to do it at home but I wish he knew not to do it in public too!!

The last time he was on a fingers in the mouth phase (without the nose picking) he picked up Fifth's Disease...the virus that turns into a rash.  The week he was contagous Rob was out of town and Noah was my little snuggle bunny...little did we know he had the virus...and I was 6-8 weeks pregnant- and Fifth's Disease can cause miscarriages if the mom get's it.  I still can't believe I didn't catch it from him!

The moral of the story- keep your hands out of your mouth!!  And kids who win awards still do gross things.

Kids are just pretty gross in general. I totally remember picking my nose as a kid and rubbing it into our carpet. Because our carpet was green I thought it didn't matter. How's that for gross?

*My parents changed the carpet and since then have moved thank goodness.

Go Noah! Except the booger thing. Ha!

I caught Brett eating his first booger today and I pretty much lost my sh*t and told him if I ever catch him doing that again, we won't have Christmas. Too much? Maybe, but he knew I meant biznass!
