This is EXACTLY what a zombie would say
Oct 24th
Let’s hope we’re not being infected right now as we sit here. LOL. (One of my friends posted this on Facebook… I just had to share this for any zombie lovers like me out there!)
A waterfall above our house
Oct 20th
The other day, it was pouring rain as Nathan and I were about to leave the house. As we stepped outside on to the porch, he took a look around at the downpour and exclaimed, “WATERFALL!!!”
Of course, I couldn’t help but giggle as I imagined us living in a house floating at the base of a raging water monstrosity that pelted us with water from every angle. Can you imagine the difficulty you would encounter just to leave to run errands? You would get drenched just getting to the car. Of course, since your house would be surrounded by water, you would have to have a boat docked to your front porch. Probably a paddle boat. And as you paddled towards shore to your waiting car, you would get soaking wet. And who wants to get into their car and run errands after battling angry waterfall droplets, paddling like a madman to shore, and getting soaked the bone in the process?
I can tell already that Nathan and I are going to have so much fun with storytelling.
Waiting for Daddy
Oct 18th
Little guy waiting while Daddy went into the store. I was thankful that he didn’t get as upset as he normally does. This sweet boy really loves his father and can’t stand to be away from him. We are so lucky to have such a sensitive, caring little boy!
Mimicry at its best
Oct 17th
Nathan loves to mimic everything I say and do.
In the mornings, before I get him out of his bed, I use the restroom and brush my teeth. Here lately, I’ve had to cough a few times and clear my throat since I am getting over a cold. And every time I cough and clear my throat, I hear an echo. Only it’s not an echo, it’s Nathan mimicking me. And I also hear an exuberant “MOMMY PEES!” when I use the restroom. Now if only he would take that exuberance and apply it to his own potty training, it would be perfect!
When I’m on the phone, Nathan will walk around the house pretending like he’s on the phone as well.
When I’m cooking, he stands right beside me, slapping his hands on the counter, indulging himself in a make-believe culinary experience.
When I spin around in circles, so does he.
And this morning, Nathan mimicked me in the ultimate way. I passed gas, and it was a little louder than I anticipated it would be (What? Everyone farts!). And then Nathan pursed his lips together and made the loudest raspberry I think I’ve ever heard.
Good thing that didn’t happen in public…
