What a Wonderful World it would be

I'm in love! You cant watch a baby being born and live with him for 11 days and not.....it is impossible. Especially when you arent the one that is getting up with him in the middle of the night! lol But this one is particularly special. And yes I know that in a couple of weeks from now, I will probably be saying the same thing about another little one...but right now.. today..I live in Noah land.

And Noah land is fun! We have played with him, dressed him up like a doll, like Rocky because he is always swinging his fists and laughed at his expense when Kadie couldnt resist the bunny ears at the supermarket. But it is an innocent laughter and one he will laugh at too someday.






































Although he owns one...even I wasnt cruel enough to dress him in the Toronto Maple Leaf outfit, so, great Uncle Al beat great Uncle Dave in the race to make Noah a supporter of a certain football (soccer) team and of course we had to dress him up in the outfit to prove his new loyalty. That's Newcastle for the uninitiated!

The local midwives may have made me feel like I had never been around a baby before, chastising me twice in a 15 minute visit but Noah and I understood our respective roles right from the beginning. He took one look at me and new that there was hardly any restaurant, never mind food! lol. Kadie was here for one purpose and one purpose only...to love him. And so thats what we did. We hugged and we cuddled and I became a master at putting him to sleep...even when his Mommy didnt want him to. Noah loves to have his back rubbed... something I hate doing in the real world :-)! and we spent lots of hours doing that too. The payback was so simple and so subtle but at the same time, it made my heart melt... first...a look of recognition when I spoke to him and then .....a smile.

Noah land is the way the world should be. There are no wars, no heartbreak, no politics, no deception or lying...there is just love. I didnt sleep very well last night and today is a very sad day. The tears are constantly at the surface. I dont want to leave the safety of Noah land and go back to the real world...it is too harsh...it hurts. Everybody should have a chance to live in Noah land as a Kadie.. it has truly been an amazing experience and I long for the next installment!

The only thing that I can think of that could possibly make me tear myself from my big boy is the knowledge that I get to go and live in Calleigh World! Bring her on...I have stories about your cousin and heart full of love to share with you Calleigh!
