Random Stuff with Nathan

Nathan went to nursery for the first time on Sunday!  He did so great!!  He stood by me for a minute, but then walked right over to play with the toys.  I probably could have left him by himself and he would have been just fine, but being the overprotective mom that I am I wanted to stay with him.  I wanted to see the things that they'd be doing, see how he interacted with the other kids and the leaders, see how the leaders responded to the kids if they got out of control or acted out, etc.  I was pleased with how things went.  It was fun to watch my little boy try to make friends in his timid way.  He's such a sweet boy!  He seemed to really be enjoying himself and was starting to get comfortable.

I was fully planning on leaving him by himself next week.  However, as it would turn out we aren't going to make it to church next week because the doctor decided to induce me tomorrow.  So we'll be staying home with our new baby instead. :)  And hopefully Nathan will make it back to nursery sometime before the year is over!

Yesterday Nathan and I went on a fun outing to the Museum of Natural Curiosity.  He loved it!  This was our second time going there.  This time we checked out the water works area.  This was his favorite!  He loves splashing in water!  We played for almost two hours before we had to get home for dinner.

Nathan has recently begun climbing and hiding in the cabinets.  He'll tell me "bye" as he closes the door behind him.  Then he pops it open and says "hi!".

This little boy of mine is growing up so much and so fast!!

I was in the kitchen making lunch and noticed how quiet things had gotten.  When I poked my head into the living room to see what trouble my little monkey was getting into I found him sitting quietly on the couch reading!  I love how much he loves books!!

Just hangin' out with cousin Cohen.  These two are BFF's.

Folding his arms for prayers.  He's also started squinting his eyes closed for prayers too.  It's pretty cute!
