With Asses Roundly Kicked
May 14, 2008
Noah just officially passed the standardized articulation test at "age-appropriate levels." He has no detectable delay or difficulty that would "inhibit his ability to learn and function in a mainstream school environment." He is "one smart little guy there, like for real, wow."
Yay Noah, not to mention how ass kickingly cute he is!

looks like he also is "certified big brother material."
Posted by: heidi | May 14, 2008 at 09:40 AM
Wonderful!
Now he can sweet-talk the ladies at school AND charm them with his fabluous hair.

Hurrah! Congratulations to all three of you--a major hurdle jumped.
Posted by: Jane | May 14, 2008 at 09:46 AM
Congratulations! We always knew that little guy was perfect!
Posted by: MMM | May 14, 2008 at 09:51 AM
Good job Noah!
Posted by: Kerry | May 14, 2008 at 09:52 AM
I have to imagine that hearing those things feels amazing. Good work, all of you!
Posted by: Jessie | May 14, 2008 at 09:52 AM
Yippee for Noah! He's gonna be the best big brother, like, ever.
Also, I know this couldn't sound more stalker-ish but I totally had a dream about you and Noah last night. Only it was like a high school play and the two of you were played by teenage boys. But it was you.
They say women have weird dreams when they are pregnant. Maybe that's why throughout the whole dream, I was just looking for a place I could sleep.
Anyway-Yay Noah!

That is AWESOME! You already knew that you were doing the right thing by getting him all the help, but now you KNOW you did the right thing.
Noah is the man!
Posted by: Kate | May 14, 2008 at 09:53 AM
you all must be so proud! I am and I don't even know you! Kick-ass Noah.

Congratulations on all the ass kicking! Way to go, Noah!
Posted by: Ramona | May 14, 2008 at 10:03 AM
Of course he's smart! His biggest challenge was just figuring out how to communicate with all the stupid adults.
Posted by: AmyM | May 14, 2008 at 10:04 AM
Congratulations Noah!!! Way to go little man!!!
Posted by: lfm | May 14, 2008 at 10:05 AM
Amy, I started reading right around the time that Noah started early intervention, and I just want to say congrats to him, and to you guys for getting him the help he needed!

That is the best news I've heard all day!
Posted by: Busy Mom | May 14, 2008 at 10:24 AM
So I know that "roundedly" modifies kicked, but I keep feeling that it modifies "asses." Which is Teh Awesome.
Yeah for Noah!
Posted by: maisnon | May 14, 2008 at 10:27 AM
Good Job to the both of you!
That's one good looking genius you have on your hands!

I would hate to meet Noah in a dark alley. :-)
Posted by: cagey | May 14, 2008 at 11:45 AM
I don't know the backstory- but congrats!
My four year old son got speech therapy (I'm in Montgomery County MD) a couple of years ago through the county - AND it was a wonderful experience!
He is a fantastic talker now and at the end of a year of speech therapy - his teacher who would come to our house said (joyously, because he was talking so much and so well)
"Some kids, especially boys, just don't do a lot of talking until they have something to say."
Posted by: Nicole | May 14, 2008 at 11:52 AM
This is so not news to those of us who love you (umm...in a non-stalkerish, friend-type sort of way...).
We all knew Noah was perfect.
Posted by: sheilah | May 14, 2008 at 12:08 PM
All right! We all knew that anyway, but now you have the certicate to prove it!
Posted by: Jen | May 14, 2008 at 12:17 PM
WTG, Noah! We always knew you could.
Posted by: midlife mommy | May 14, 2008 at 12:22 PM
you followed your instincts...you rock...and now Noah will be teaching baby (fueling Johanna's rumor)sister, all about da increbulls and treble clef and THOMAS,THOMAS and, and just everything!
Posted by: lynn | May 14, 2008 at 12:23 PM
Way to go, Noah!
Posted by: Irene | May 14, 2008 at 12:26 PM

He always was "one little smart guy" Just now he can tell the world about it instead of just showing nonverbally. :)
Posted by: Robin | May 14, 2008 at 03:43 PM
Amalah, that is so wonderful! I am SO happy for you and Noah. The first post I read when I found your blog years ago was Noah's birth story (and of course I then stalked all your archives)! I am overjoyed at this great news! Congrats on all your hard work paying off!

the other day. i nearly launched into a story about Noah I'd read from your blog--something random had reminded me of him--but then I had to stop and remind myself that this was someone from a blog I read and not a real person I know.
Weird.
Anyway, good for you. I'm rooting for you and yours.
