Did you see it??

It was very brief (because American Idol gave Anoop's friends and family practically ZERO screen time), but one of Anoop's friends was wearing a bright yellow button that said Noah on it!!!

Isn't that cool!

I'm not sure if I can name names, so I'll just say Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!. That was so unbelievably sweet of you. We did get it on tape, so we'll always have it. You rock!

Unfortunately, I can't air any of it for ya'll to watch seeing that three things happened during the making of tonight's Noah Watching Anoop video:

#1. Noah was stimming on the ceiling fan lights, so we turned them off. It didn't occur to me that it'd make the whole video dark - which it did. You can hardly make out anything.

#2. Despite threatening Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dum within an inch of their lives and demanding that they be quiet as church mice during Anoop's performance, Twiddle Dee decided to climb on the seesaw....

Yes, that's right. We have a full size see-saw in our living room.

Hey, it's cheaper than a season pass to Six Flags and it's a heckuva workout, too.

Anyway, Tweedle Dee climbed upside down on the see-saw and let go and, I don't know, started screaming hysterically.... and I mean, hysterically.

And #3, for some unknown reason other than liking to cause myself sheer misery and torture.. I decided to give up chocolate during my PMS week and basically was not quite in the mood for Noah's video to be interrupted by a hysterically screaming 5 year old who should've known better than to climb upside on a see-saw and let go.

It's all on tape, my friends. But for private showings only. Give me a bag of heavily discounted Cadbury Easter eggs and you're good to go.

So, no video again. Except there is a video, but it's way too dark and there's screaming involved.

But let's not focus on that. Did you catch Anoop? Isn't he adorable? Do you think Noah will grow up to look like that? What a cutie. Not that Noah's not a cutie. 'Cuz he is just downright precious. They're both cuties.

And when did I start talking like that? Cutie Patootie this and Cutie Patootie that? For Pete's sake, I'm a grown woman. Someone pop a chocolate in my mouth and tell me to shut up.

The point is.. .and there is a point... Anoop was great tonight. My 75 year old great aunt called my mom up and said, "That Anoop sure can sing!!" She's right. He's got a great voice. And FANTASTIC family and friends who have completely embraced Noah and made him feel like king of the world.

Thanks again, guys!
