Noah: I am NOT going to dress up as an angel for the parade.
Brooke: Why not? Everyone in your class is going to be an angel. It will be fun!
Noah: Angels are GIRLS.
Brooke: Angels are boys and girls...and they are all very special to God.
Noah: EVERY book has pictures of angels that look like girls!
Brooke: Well, your shirt has blue stripes in it, so everyone will know that you are a boy angel.
Noah: There are no such thing as Blue Angels!
Brooke: (laughing) how much you have to learn, little grasshopper!
Pre-parade, he was determined to show me how miserable he was. Here is is with his belt, after refusing to wear the halo.
He was very excited about the candle they each carried -- and even managed to smile when he passed Griffin & me during the parade. He turned out to be quite a cute, blue angel, I'd say!

poor noah. you can tell him that all the angels in the Bible seemed to be dudes... Gabriel, Michael... they just used to wear dresses back then. at least he seemed to perk up once it started.
There's this old red neck country song called Blue Angel. Aaron Tippin sings it. Maybe you can put it on Noah's Christmas cd. Go listen to it on itunes.
