Can’t believe I haven’t updated since early September and it’s already the end of October…slacker! So here’s a little catch up through the end of September.

Nathan started in the Old 2’s room in September. He loves it. The first week or so he asked if he could go to the new room everyday and he still tells me occasionally that he wants to go there, just to make sure I’m not taking him to some other room. He loves the teachers and his friends and comes home singing lots of songs. He has the Alphabet Song down pat. They have the kids sit on the potty several times a day, so I’m sure that will help us with potty training when we really get into it.

Nathan has a cute way of talking to animals like they know what hes saying. “Fenny, I have cookies!” or “Fenny, were going to the fair Fenny!”, or telling the random dogs we saw outside on a walk that he had magnets in his pockets. Sometimes well tell him something and he’ll turn around and tell Fen.

We’ve been trying to give Nathan choices, like “do you want to hold our hand or do you want us to carry you”? or “do you want chicken nuggets or a hot dog?”, simple things like that, and he’s gotten crafty when he doesn’t want to do or have either and will answer “nusin.” (nothing)

In September Nathan did some dance-jumping.

And played on some drums (Opa’s real ones were a lot of fun!)

We went apple picking at a local farm and got to see some of their animals.

(He’s telling that chicken that his friend (another chicken) is in the cage next door.)

He tried on Mommy’s shoes.

Made silly and happy faces.

Tried to take a picture.

And wore his first pull-up! He was very happy about it and yes, I took a picture of this momentous occasion!

He’s in them all day now and thankfully they seem as absorbent as regular diapers because he’s not using the potty much except right before bath time. We’re in no rush to rush him
