Noah (singing to the tune of Beyonce’s Single Lady) : “I’m a single lady, I’m a single lady”.

Maddy: ” I thought you just said you weren’t a girl. If you’re a boy you say gentleman”.

Noah (after a long pause): “I’m a single… boy, I’m a single boy…”

Playing with Magnetix at 5am in the morning.

Noah: “Look Mummy! Look at my long, long worm and his slithery balls!”

Even when the whole house (bar the mother) is sick with lurgy, Noah keeps things light.
