Yesterday Nathan was having just an all out bad day....which in turn was causing his Momma not to be able to get much done. So, I decided I would let him help me make this new dessert I found in the new Taste of Home magazine. Nathan has helped me make cookies before (he loves to help) and was excited to help make something with me. This dessert had to be layered in a trifle bowl. It consisted of devil's food cake, whipped cream, caramel sauce, chocolate pudding and toffee pieces. Yummy! I let Nathan help me make the pudding. When that was done, I started layering the dessert. When I layered the first item, I turned to look at Nathan. He had helped himself to the cake, then he got a measuring spoon and was helping himself to the pudding. He had cake and pudding all over the floor, stove, and himself. But, he was happy and I got to get something done. HAHA!

Nathan's First Bike Ride
This week, we went to get our bicycles repaired to try a new adventure of riding them at the RiverPark. We went to Toys 'R Us and found Nathan a seat to ride behind Tripp. Today, Nathan got to ride! All day, I told him that we would get to ride the bicycle today. He was so excited that he would go get his helmet and say "ride, ride!" Once he got his ride around the driveway, he was all smiles! He loved it. Can't wait to try it out at the RiverPark!

Big Boy Pants
I've noticed while working with Nathan on potty-training that he won't tell me he has to potty when he has his diapers on.........but when he has nothing on, he will tell me. I had been letting him run around without any diapers but thought that doing that may not help him (and it could be embarassing if the neighbors saw him running around without them - haha!). So.....yesterday I went to Walmart and found him some big boy underwear with Superman. I thought if he did have an accident in these, he and I would know pretty quick and hopefully he will learn he has gone when he has something on. I let him pick which ones he wanted to wear today and he was so excited! :o)UPDATE: Nathan wet his new pants twice, but the third time he told me he had to potty! He went a little tinkle, but he did it! :o) YEAH!!!

Choo! Choo!
Nathan LOVES trains! For his birthday this year I was wanting to get him a train table, but it wasn't going to work out. So last week, my moma and I took Nathan to Toys 'R Us just to browse the toys and get new ideas for his birthday. When we walked inside, Nathan starting hollering for the trains. In the train aisle, there were 3 train tables set up and he immediately went and started playing with them. He was making choo sounds and saying "train, Moma......train, MeeMee!" that people in the aisle were getting tickled watching and hearing him. Nathan's MeeMee (my moma) did what most grandparents would do.......Nathan ended up going home with a train table in the back of the jeep. MeeMee and Papaw set-up the table at their house and ended up buying more track and cars for him. They were so excited for Nathan to see it! Today.......he finally got to see it! He was so excited. He played on that thing the whole 6 hours we were there. I don't know who had more fun though - MeeMee, Papaw or Nathan. :o)

4th of July at Mamaw & PP's
The night of the 4th, we went to my grandparents house for a cookout and some fireworks. Scott grilled some awesome BBQ chicken and a hamburger for Tripp (haha!). Daddy and Scott also bought some fireworks to shoot off for Nathan. Some of the fireworks that Daddy bought looked like trucks. Nathan really loved those. He wanted to take them home.....but we had to secretly throw them away. We really had a good time!

Happy 4th of July!!
Last night, we went to Patriot Park in Collegedale to see the East Tennessee Symphony Orchestra and a fireworks show. It was nice to be out on a blanket, listening to the music and watching the fireworks. Nathan did pretty good with the fireworks. At first he would shake his head and say "no no" everytime a firework blew up, but then he got used to it and sat really still during the 30 minutes or so they lit up the sky. He missed the finale though. He was fast asleep.
Little Picasso
Nathan loves to color! Everyday he will go into his room, grab his crayon box and coloring book, and lay out on the floor and color. He is getting to know the names of the colors too. So far, he knows black, yellow, pink, and orange.

One Tired Granddaddy
Since our church isn't having services tonight because of the 4th of July celebrations, we decided to go over to Tripp's parents to have lunch with Nathan's Granddaddy. About an hour or so after lunch, Nathan wanted to watch Elmo. Tripp and I retreated to the computers while Nathan watched his favorite red monster with Granddaddy. Things got real quiet, so I thought I'd walk by and see what was going on. I caught poor ol' Granddaddy visiting the "sand man". HAHAHA
