Run-on happy
January 10, 2008
I'm afraid if I try and do that thing where I put on my little serious writer's cap and try to write something eloquent and/or witty I will actually ruin this moment because I just can't wait to get the words out and tell everyone that Noah didn't cry at class today at all and I was in the next room the whole time supposedly getting taught how to teach my kid to talk but I really spent the whole time listening for his screams and when I didn't hear them I asked one of the veteran moms if the rooms were soundproof and she said no and I didn't believe her but when we went to join our babies for the goodbye song Noah was running around with a big smile on his face and then he ran to the teacher and sat on her lap while we all sang goodbye to him off-key and horribly and then he SAT ON A CHAIR NEXT TO HER and clapped along to the song and waved bye-bye to his friends and said "Again?" after each kid's turn and when we sang goodbye to a child named Kay Noah said "Kay!" and made the sign for the letter k and I was on the other side of the circle and burst into tears and the occupational therapist thought I was upset about something and rushed over to tell me how wonderful Noah was and how they worked extra-hard with him through the transitions and how he sat at circle time and snack time and talked so much and oh, what a smart smart smart little boy he is and I just stood there sobbing like a loon while Noah put his hands on my cheeks and said "Hi Mama" over and over and then he wouldn't let us leave until he gave all the teachers a hug and I haven't even learned their names yet but thank you thank you thank you.
My heart, it is soaring.



The way you told that? Was perfect. And my hear is soaring FOR you right now.
I welled up reading this one. He is such a gorgeous boy, just looking at him makes my heart happy and to know he is making such strides is so wonderful. Go Noah!
dude, you made me cry at work.
i'm so happy for you - noah is the MAN
Gah. HEART. My heart is soaring for you. What a great day.
Just freakin' beautiful. The end of that actually gave me goose bumps.
That was heartwarming, thanks for sharing :)
Oh, Amy!! Happy tears and heart leaps here for ya! That is just awesome! :)

Way to stick to it. You're doing wonderful things for him. And, apparently, he for you.
Oh... tears. :-)
You must be one proud mama. Of such a special little man.
Hugs. xxx
Dude. I am mega thrilled for you.
I ask this with zero sarcasm, and maybe I missed the explanation somewhere along the line, but how does the chair thing work at home?
Dude. You just made me cry. Like, more than I should, by rights, since I don't actually "know you."
NOAH IS TEH WINS, as the Interwebs might say.
awesome.
:-D
OMG - I'm totally crying tears of joy for you and Noah (and Jason, of course). I'm so happy for you guys!
What a great day! You both deserved a good day!

Oh my word! I'm sitting here crying for you.
You wrote it perfectly because it perfectly conveyed your joy.
Can you have a least warned me to make sure my mascara was waterproof before reading?
SO thrilled for this big step forward. Yay cutie Noah & the awesome teachers and YOU. :)
I am SO happy for you. I am totally crying right now. GO NOAH!!!
Right up in the stratosphere with you, mama. ::sniffles::
Fan-tastic!
The happiest, most serendipitous, most deserved good story I'll hear for a long long time. Go Noah!
Happy tears!
yeah, totally crying at work now. i'm so happy for you both.
Pile of mush over here.
What a good day.
Wow. I'm soooo happy for you. I was so moved I had to de-lurk even though I don't have anything funny or smart to say!
Hurray!!! I know that feeling all too well, and my heart is swelling right along with yours.
Here's to many more good days.
I am so thoroughly happy for you and Noah! Victories come slowly, and the battle is long. Savor these moments and hold them close to your heart. Trust that there will be many more, most when you lease expect them to show up.
What a joyful story! I am so very happy to hear your good news. Hugs- EE
Yes, I am totally in tears at work also, practically sobbing for you, Maria is spot on, you wrote it perfectly, because I understand every ounce of your joy! Yeah Storchalah Family!
Thank god my office has a door or everyone would be asking why I'm blubbering like someone just died (its hard to tell the difference between happy tears and the other kind). I am SO very happy for you and incredibly proud of Noah. I'm so glad you've "found the good" - you deserve it!
cried.at.work.

P.S. That is the best run-on sentence ever!
Oh, YAY!
Hurray! Well done to wee Noah!
