"Sweet"

Nate hugged Jason while putting on his pj's tonight and said,

Daddy, you're sweet like a guy.

I'm sweet like a doughnut.


(I'm beginning to think that this stage of life would be
more accurately described as the entertaining twos.)

(saying "cheeeeese")

Reason #893 why I love Costco:

Big boxes (with endless possibilities)

Making Progress

With one week of potty training under his belt, Nathan is doing great! A good ol' sticker chart and M&M reward system has worked really well for him. He had a few accidents on days one and four (when I started getting him fully dressed), but has otherwise stayed dry and been good about telling me when he needs to go. Public bathrooms seem to frighten him, so I imagine that will be a bit of challenge to overcome. I am hoping that practicing using the potty at school next month will help him feel more comfortable away from home.

We found many ways to entertain
ourselves while at home last week...

Sweet Words

After breakfast yesterday morning Nathan told me,

"I like Buddy and Gracie in my heart."

I love you in mine, sweet boy.

Lego Love

Nathan recently noticed Jason's huge bin of Legos in our garage and asked if he could play with "Daddy's blocks." It was a moment I think Jason had been waiting for since the day Nate was born. (Does Jason's serious "Lego-building face" bring back memories, Uncle Mark?) I'm still not sure which one of these boys had more fun...
