Happy Birthday Ichi Ban

Four years old and so sweet, funny and joyful.  What a dream baby boy!  The morning started off with a little chocolate milk in bed followed by the flag flying ceremony.  Noah is starting to understand the difference between Korean and American but he still does not quite get the whole flag thing.  Still I think it is a cool tradition and we will keep it up.

Some seriously fun birthday booty.  I set everything up last night so Noah would pass by it on his way to our bedroom in the morning. Unfortunately a midnight poop ruined the surprise.  While on the potty Noah stated, "I've been asleep a long time so...."  Very funny but no dice.  Back to bed for 6 more hours :)

After the flag ceremony we light a candle and pray for Noah's birth family.  In my imagination this is a hard day for Noah's first mom and dad.  We shared memories from our recent trip to the birthing center where Noah was born and talk about the memories that his doctor shared with us.  I'm glad we have actual facts to talk about this year instead of just things that we imagine happened.  We love Noah's first family and pray for their loss today.

The birthday breakfast by Noah's request was sausage rolls, soda and cheetos.  Gross.

We also celebrated Noah's birth a bit in the mountains this past weekend. Ms. Julie made the absolute best cake and we are still talking about it at least 7 times a day here at the Young house.
