Nathaniel woke up just a little too early today. Or I was in a bad part of my sleep cycle cause I woke up feeling like I was slapped. He did also wake up at 2:30am which wasn’t so much fun. But it didn’t take me that long to recover and by 7am I was happy and less tired. Coffee didn’t hurt. Nathaniel’s discovered David’s toy and he’s loving it. Today it was all about putting the sheets on the floor and stepping on them. I think he loves the texture difference or something but it’s so much fun .
He steps up and down on it and laughs and laughs.
And laughs. It’s so much fun to watch him.
So we decided to shoot some video of it cause we both laughed so much watching him:
Isn’t it so funny? He’s also obsessed with plastic bottles, putting their tops on, taking off the paper, putting his fingers in it.
He’s also still putting his hands behind his back.
We tried to let him eat with a fork today and he was super-excited.
He laughed the whole time and kept putting more and more food in his mouth just to play with the fork.
David spent most of the morning playing his soldier game. (One he made up.)
Lest you think it’s always so quiet here, he was running around, shooting, making crazy amounts of noise.
Later in the day, we watched some Whitney Houston and Billy Joel videos on YouTube and I snapped this while he was watching. He is so beautiful, it breaks my heart.
At some point today he told me that if i am mean to him he’d do something to really upset me “Go live with someone else” he told me and I told him that I never want him to live somewhere else and then he said but that won’t work cause he will grow up and get married. And then he added, “don’t worry, I will come visit you.”
I hope so, my son, I hope so.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful for a clean checkup. I had my yearly checkup, the first in a while and all was perfectly normal. At the doctor’s that’s exactly what I want to hear.
2. I am grateful for a really wonderful book. One that’s not only engrossing but where the words and sentences actually touch me and make me smile.
3. I am grateful for inspiration my husband gave me yesterday that made me feel stronger and more energized all day long.
Two Things David’s Grateful For:
1. watching music videos with mommy.
2. playing my soldier game.
3. daddy.
