Pictures of my Noah
I am having a "technical" problem in downloading my pictures. I will try from Caleb's lap top later today. Stay tuned...................
Noah
My Blog List:
The blog, "Noah's Road" is not about my Noah. It is about a little baby boy named Noah who was shaken by his daycare provider. This little guy is fighting for his life. Please join with me and pray for Noah and his family.
"Kelly's Korner" blogged about 2 things you should never ask or say to a person unless are are absolutely certain of the answer you are going to get:
1. Are you pregnant?
2. Are you a boy or girl?
My son, Noah who is 14 and has long hair and is "pretty" gets mistaken for a flat chested girl much too often. Yesterday a girl in our neighborhood shouted out (more than once I might add) "that's a girl - that's a girl"! Even though the other kids she was with kept telling her Noah was a boy. I know people have their opinions about boys with long hair. Matt has had long hair a couple three times since we met - these Baker boys have GORGEOUS hair! Here is my request - much like Kelly stated - if you are not sure - don't say anything or say something generic like, "How ya doing kiddo?" or if you are waiting on us either at a counter or a waitress taking our order - just ask Noah, "And what will you have?" - don't look at me and say, "and for her?"
My question: Would you ever ask a girl if she was a boy? No, because this would cause the girl to think she was ugly or boyish looking. Boys have feelings too.
Again, I know the simple solution - have Noah cut his hair. I am of the belief this does not hurt you or me. When and if he is ready to cut his hair and donate it to Locks of Love I will support him 100% - until that day comes I only ask you take a minute and THINK before you speak.
Okay, off the soap box:
Below are a couple recent pictures I took of Noah while we waiting in line to register for school. I apologize you can't see his pretty eyes - he was busy texting someone! Have a great day! Stacey
