Water Lovin' Boy






Here is our water lovin' boy. He loves all things having to do with the bathroom. I have found him in there multiple times using the little potty seat as a cup and scooping up water from the regular toilet and drinking it. YIKES!! Other times he just uses the scooper and makes huge puddles all over the floor. I try to keep the door closed, but three other little kids in and out it is almost always open. He LOVES the bath. He would take a bath two times a day everyday if I let him. Sometimes he gets in even when it's not time to take a bath (fully clothed and everything). The kids like to use the foot bath every now and then, and Nathan gets right in there with the rest of them (and throws little fits when he thinks it should be his turn). And just the other day we were having a productive Saturday (chores, workin' on cars, checkin' out the yard sales, etc) and we went out to manually turn on our front sprinklers for a few minutes before we went out to dinner. Before we knew it Caelan, Ben and Megan were outside in their swimsuits ready to cool off. Nathan didn't need a swimsuit - he got right on in there in his clothes, playing right down by the spickets. I'm thinking we will be having a lot of sprinkler days coming up here soon.

Watermelon Lovers


Watermelon season is here. And Nathan is as crazy about the fruit as the rest of this family. I'll cut up a big slice of watermelon, and the hands start grabbing and grabbing faster and faster afraid it will be gone before they can get their hands on the next piece. Nathan is right in there doing the same thing. He loves most fruits: bananas, apples (which he has started to eat whole like his big brother), strawberries, blueberries, peaches (if they are cut up fresh or canned), pears (sometimes). He's not so sure about oranges, although he LOVES an orange julius (which we make pretty regularly around here).
