In the last post, I mentioned being on an airplane with Noa - Ben had a play in a festival in Arizona so we packed up the family and headed south for a few days. As it turns out we picked the hotest week of the summer: 115 degrees on Saturday!!! If you're wondering if Noa sweated in Arizona... we really didn't have a chance to find out because when it's that hot out, you're just not outside long enough to find out. And we certainly didn't want to chance it by over-heating her in that kind of weather as an "experiment."
But we had a great time - as you can see from the video. This is the swimming pool at the condo the theater put us up in. Yes, we're outside. It's 7:00am in the morning (and already about 94 degrees).
This clip shows one of Noa's favorite pool games: toss Noa! You can see that she makes the sign for "drink" - if she does this in the pool, it means that she wants to be tossed. Somehow Noa came up with way to convert her signs into pool games - and taught Jes - and Jes taught us. "Drink" makes sense for this game, as she gets to dunk her head all the way underwater.
Noa also really enjoyed the Children's Museum in Phoenix which is hands down the BEST Children's Museum I've been to. A lot of sensory stuff (like things that blast air in your face, or the entire forrest of pool noodles you can walk through). Noa loved that! And of course, Noa loved the plane ride.
