tomorrow is not only christmas day, it's not only our anniversary (six years!), it is also noah's birthday! remember how excited you got for christmas as a little kid? and remember how you could barely stand the anticipation of your birthday? and your parents' anniversary? okay, we all know we didn't really care about that. . . . but put together christmas and your birthday and it's almost too much to take for a little guy.
so today we were all relieved to be able to say that finally it is all happening in one day, yes, tomorrow. we asked noah what he wanted to do on his last day of being three yrs. old and the next thing we knew the decision had been made for us and we were on our way to spend the morning at the emergency room. poor little guy! here is the story according to noah:

i fell. i tripped over a pillow and then i was crying. then i didn't want anyone to touch me. and then i got a cast. i went to the emergency room in the hopsital (sic). dada brought kanga for me. i have boots. i look a little bit sad. i didn't want to go the doctor.

they took an x-ray on the computer. i got a line on my elbow. lines mean you have to get a cast on.

i wanted a hot blue cast. and i got one. they gave me a purple popsicle.

luke's happy. he loves his popsicle.

this is the soldier set i opened early cause i was really good. i don't like my cast for three days.
not the best way to celebrate christmas eve and the day before your birthday, but at least he got

to open a present early. they said he will probably only be in the cast for three weeks, but even 'three days' sounds like forever to a kid. noah was so brave through it all and we are very proud of our newly four years old boy!
