Nathan has a huge tent that sets right in the family room at all times, but for some reason, a homemade tent consisting of blanket thrown over the table was way cooler.
We also went to Storybook Island. It's a huge playground with storybook character statues all over the place.
This is what Nathan does when I tell him to go stand next to something so I can get his picture. He faces the object instead of the camera.
Most of these characters are pretty ghetto and don't really look like the original characters. This is supposed to be the Little Mermaid. Her hair isn't even orange.
Nathan had fun climbing on the playground and sliding.
He's hooked on Capri Suns now.
When he finishes it, he hands it to me and says, "Hold it, but don't squeeze it." I guess that shows he listens to me.
We also went downtown to Summer Nights. Nathan ran through the water sprayer tent a couple of times.
Blowing his pinwheel.
He's been so artistic (translation: naughty) with his chalk lately, so I thought he might like some bathtub paint.
When I was so sick, I couldn't stand to have all 200 cars spread all over the living room. I kept 40 of them out for Nathan to play with, but apparently that wasn't very much fun. He quit playing with them for a while. I surprised him with the rest of his cars and now that's the first thing he starts talking about in the mornings. He comes and wakes me up and says, "I need to build a road. How 'bout Mommy build a road too."
He thinks he's so funny... until the bucket handle gets caught under his chin and he freaks out because he can't get the bucket off his head. That's the part that Steve and I think is funny.
Nathan likes sitting at his little table and eating now. It's even more fun outside.
We went to Dinosaur Park (about three times so far). That's one of his most recent requests. I'm not sick of it yet. It's closer than the airplanes and it's easier to get him to leave.
This is what I get now when I ask him to smile for the camera.
Again, his smile face.
Climbing on the rocks.
It's so funny to think that people travel to Rapid City for vacations and this is one of their stops. Nathan made me realize that as we were leaving. He pointed to a dinosaur and said, "I see that dinosaur all the time."

This is an Uncle Joe outfit. If Uncle Joe is at home, there is a 100% chance that he has a white t-shirt and gray sweat shorts on. He even has these exact shoes. Maybe not exactly the same, Uncle Joe's aren't velcro.
We went to the Great Black Hill Duck Race at Memorial Park. Nathan played this super fun game. You pay a dollar and get to pick a duck. The duck had a number on the bottom which determined his prize. He gave it two tries and won a roll of smarties, a piece of bubble gum and a sucker. He was completely satisfied with his prizes.
Before we leave the house everyday, he asks me if I have my phone and sunglasses. I guess I've made him wait for me a few times while I grab those two items. He's so funny.
Watching some kids play frisbee.
Nathan posed with the duck. Again, he thinks he has to face whatever it is he's posing with.

Talk about up to the minute blogging. This just in. No blog posts for a few days because of the chance of this type of thing happening. I thought he was watching Noggin until I heard chalk tapping.... not on the chalkboard either. I wish I could say these are the only items he's "tagged," but I can't. Our landlord is going to kick us out.
Good thing Paw-Paw keeps a steady supply of TVs coming in.

I wonder who Nathan gets that fake smile from.
ReplyDeleteLooking at Nathan from the side (checking his art work on the wall) looks just like Joseph did at two years old.
Nathan better not mess up the TV's because Paw-Paw is slowly getting rid of the excess supply in the basement.
Boy, Nathan sure is a sharp dresser. I like his style but not his artwork.
