Eating Pooh
Aug 29th
Pooh Bear, that is! This is Nathan’s typical way of transporting his Pooh Bear around the house. But hey! When Nathan is chewing on Pooh Bear, at least he’s not chewing on himself! (Yeah, he totally still does that.)

What’s that over there?

Something looks interesting

I left the diapers within Nathan’s reach… again! You’d think I’d learn my lesson, right? Because this kid has proven that he LOVES to get into the diapers, even though he knows he’s not supposed to. This time, though, as I was cleaning up all the diapers, Nathan toddled up to me and tried to help by putting a single diaper into the container I keep them in. Hey, it’s the thought that counts, right?
He’s not a toddler… He’s a rotisserie chicken

So why is it whenever Nathan lays down next to me, he can’t lay still? And I’m not referring to the constant fidgeting and leg-thumping. Or the wiggling or the clapping. And not even the head-banging or arm flailing. I’m actually talking about Nathan’s strange ability to rapidly roll over, around and around, while somehow managing to remain stationary.
Like a little rotisserie chicken, only in a machine callibrated to spin at 1,200 RPMs.
Or an alligator doing it’s Death Roll.
I don’t see how he does it. I try to roll over, and I completely move to one side or the other. I can’t roll over in one spot, much less SPIN RAPIDLY. Like a hot-dog being roasted over a fire by a crazy person who has drank too much coffee.
What’s his secret?
Block towers are just THAT cool
Jul 30th
Nathan loves to play with his blocks. But the funny thing is, he doesn’t actually play with them. Because, you see, he thinks block towers are just TOO COOL to actually PLAY with. So instead, he likes me or Paul to stack them up, and then he just looks at them and makes Swamp Noises. Sometimes he’ll reach out and touch them, but very gently because he doesn’t like when they fall.
I have a strange kid, don’t I?
