Well, is there anything more fun than discovering a roll of toilet paper? Apparently not for Noa! In fact, she loved the toilet paper SO much that she insisted on kissing it good-bye.
But our stay in Windham offered other wonderful adventures as well (though sadly it did not offer internet access). The zip-line the back yard was a bit of a stretch for Noa, but she made it work. Noa also enjoyed pushing a wheel barrel across the lawn with Daddy, the reward (for both of them) being a long ride in the hammock. In short, Noa wore us out!
Noa did a ton of walking around in Windham. The house we were in had a sunken living room so there were some great stair opportunities. We were only in Windham for a short time, but after the grueling pace of the Zoom Flume, it was a nice change of pace. On the way back to NYC we stopped a giagantic Wal-Mart where Noa enjoyed another favorite ride: the shopping cart!
All-in-all, this was a great trip for Noa. She really enjoyed all the new adventures: the amusement park rides, zoom flume, hayride, zip-line - while she has always liked things that move she hasn't always been keen to touch new things, but we didn't see any of that on this trip. She really reached out for new things, and when she was walking was always interested in exploring the world around her.
Noa picked up some new signs on the trip (I'll post photos of those soon). She quickly learned the sign for "shush" - otherwise known in the parenting world as "inside voice, please." She liked it so much that she would make a big noise, and then cut herself off by signing "shush."
She also learned the sign for "same" - as in, Mommy can only hold one food at a time in the car, so even though you asked for different food, I'm giving you the SAME food."
For all the fun we had on our journeys, Noa was also very glad to be home: her own bed, her regular toys, the swing the garden, all big thrills.
