Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

Last week Noah’s school put on a performance to show off the sign language they have been learning.

Alphabet song.

Animal song.

Grand finale.

After the show, and before we went home, Noah put on a solo performance of “Big Old Tree” for me.

Amanda Friedman is in town, and the other day Noah showed her around his school.

Then Noah gave her a guided tour of the neighborhood.

And told her some jokes.

Amanda gave us a tour of the apartment where she was staying.

A quick portrait session.

A quick landscape photo.

Then dinner.

Noah likes to try and hide from me when I pick him up. Layla is in on the fun too.

Playground stop over.

My turn to hide.

On Friday Noah’s school put on a demonstration of all the exercises they have learned with Lava, a local yoga studio. They started with a younger class where the kids would go around their circle of friends either running or as a bear.

Stars.

Noah’s class, circle claps that were trickier than they look here.

Pencil jumps.

Running around raising their knees high.

Stretches.

Later, outside.

The weather was nice, and Noah was out of school early so we went to the Underhill Playground.

We hadn’t been there in a while, and Noah ran to all the toys that he used to play with, except they were all smaller than they used to be.

Dinner out.

Last week, picking Noah up at school.

Teacher styles.

Antagonizing ants.

On a different trip home from school, a week or so ago, Noah accidentally dropped a car off of a bridge and into the construction site below that is part of the new arena being built. Noah was really bummed, and I mentioned it to one of the guys that we see everyday (I think he’s a union rep). The guy then asked a construction worker working on the site to try and get it for him. On the way home from the park this day, he flagged us over and pulled out the car that Noah had lost. Cleaned and ready to roll.

Noah was so excited, and the man in the car who helped us get the car back, his name is also Noah.

Thank you Mr. Noah!
