Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

Noah’s stomach is mad at any food we put in it last night/this morning, so he’s staying home with me today.  No playing with those fun school toys today that Noah and Zion were messing with last Wednesday.

Boys day in.

Noah is 2.  Things are starting early for this kid.  I don’t think I had my first school photo until I was 6.  Kids these days.

Photographers are always looking for something that really “makes” the photo.  Something a little off, maybe a happy accident.  Some dog poop, or gum on the bottom of a shoe.  Either way, the foot of fresh snow out the fake window makes it for me.

Amazing.  Teachers left to right are Ms. Alva, Ms. Ella, Ms. Michelle, and Ms. Jackie (whose name got left off!).

This one would cost extra.

All aces.  You can see more at http://photogifts.lifetouch.com.  Noah’s portrait id is ZP3R-FRZT, and his access coad is – KRVX.  (Why can’t they just make an easy link for me to add?)

I don’t know if it’s because of his short little legs, or if he isn’t into stairs, but every day he takes the wheelchair ramp from the play room to his cubby.  Screaming and running and flapping the whole time.  Every day.

The class fish.

Friday morning, getting ready for a big day at “school”.

Fast forward to later in the day when Noah was posing for a picture (taken by someone else) before his classroom went trick-or-treating in their building.

First stop, the 12th floor.

The view.

Noah’s costume came together kind of late, and we weren’t really sure what people would think (not to mention we couldn’t really even agree on what he was)…

…but it was a hit.

Logan.

Alex.

We passed Ryder and Susan in the hallway.

Alex and Logan.

Ms. Gladys had some karaoke going on in her room.

Audrey’s mom got into it (as I hid behind everyone in the back).

Partied out.

Outside, Laila and her dad Chris were getting ready to head home too.

By the end of the day I decided that for me, Noah was dressed up as David Beckham.

Last week I volunteered to herd Noah and his schoolmates to Shadow Box Theater on Bleeker St. to see The Lumpy Bumpy Pumpkin.  First off I have to thank Ms. Michelle and/or Ms. Ella for digging deep and finding a shirt for Noah that fit.  The shirts they had on hand would have touched the floor on him…

We took something like 18 kids, from two classrooms, on the subway.

This has to be the worst place to sit…

…or, maybe this woman (who wasn’t with our group) thought she had the worst place to sit.

Even little kids think a dude with a camera is shady.

This is the platform during our second transfer.

Audrey.

Ryder!

The other Noah in Lil’ Dudes class.

You know this dude (the trombonist) played some kid tunes.  Nice guy.

Ms. Michelle came prepared.

Mission accomplished.
