Happy 2009!

I’ve been keeping Mommy & Daddy so busy that they have been too exhausted to keep my blog updated! I’ve got to learn how to read & write so that I can tell you all of the fun (a.k.a. trouble ) I’ve been having myself!

Nathan’s Top 10 Activities of Spring 2009:

10. Watching Airplanes Fly: We went to the Riverside County Air Show this past weekend. I had a great time. My favorites were going into the US Air Force cargo plane and sitting on the seats and playing around, eating lunch in the airport cafe, and getting my airplane souvenir from Mommy & Daddy. I didn’t like the airplanes zooming by. It was too loud!

dsc_3853_nathancoveringears It’s too loud. Even in the airport cafe!

dsc_3848_nathananddaddyhelicopter I’m grumpy. It’s too loud and I’m hungry.

dsc_3850_nathananddaddyplane I’m much better now that I’ve had a little snack.

9. Potty Training: Don’t worry, Mommy & Daddy said that they will not embarrass me by posting photos. They said something about saving it for when I’m much older. I wonder what that means. Anyhow, I’m a big boy now! I only wear diapers when I go to sleep and when we go out (though that isn’t necessary for the most part). I love flushing the toilet & receiving my lollipop or chocolate reward (it’s all about the food, ya know?). I’m such the pro that sometimes I don’t even ask for my reward.

8. Talking On The Phone: “Hello? Hello! Bye-Bye!” Mommy and Daddy say I’m a little jabbermouth now. I guess I just love hearing my own voice. It’s cute. What’s wrong with that?

7a. Trying To Fill Big Shoes: These are Daddy’s old sneakers. They go nicely with my outfit, don’t they?

7b. Trying To Fill Even Bigger Shoes…er…Slippers: Mommy’s slippers are so much softer than Daddy’s sneakers!

6. Doing Yard Work: The economy has been hard on everyone, so this is my way of pitching in. Daddy says we each have to do our part, so here I am sweeping up the weeds Daddy dug up.

5. Watching TV: Here I am watching a movie with my friends. This was a really good part…

4. Wishing For Warmer Weather: So that we could go to the beach and use real sand.

3. Saying “CHEESE!”: I love getting my photos taken. And, I always have to look at them afterwards. Mommy said something about me being lucky that digital cameras exist.

2. Having LOTS Of Fun: Here I am learning how to play T-Ball and making sure all my crayons are present and ready for some serious coloring fun. I love playing with play-doh and painting, too. There isn’t any pictures of that because Mommy is too busy making sure my creativity doesn’t travel to the walls of our house to take photos. (She’s a party-pooper, isn’t she?)

1. Having Had The BEST Christmas ever: Okay, so this didn’t happen in 2009, but Mommy said we didn’t get a chance to tell everyone about Christmas yet. So here it goes: I just had the best time opening all of my presents. I loved ripping the wrapping paper off and then whining louder and louder until mommy & daddy took it out of the package. They had to give me another package to open so that I was occupied while they rescued my toy from its packaging. It was so much fun (for me)! We did that on Christmas Eve because on Christmas Day, we went to my great auntie’s house & I spent the day playing w/ my cousins. Then we spent the rest of the weekend at my Grandpa & favorite Uncle’s place. We saw friends & more family (and I got more toys, of course)- so it was a very good visit.
