Nathan-isms

My mom says I need to write down all the cute things that Nathan has been saying lately, presumably in his baby book.  Well, since I gave up on his baby book when he was a few months old (and things were hit and miss up until that point anyway), I thought I would blog about them.  Let's see, funny Nathan stories...

Today we went to the splash park  We had only been there for about a half hour when in rolled a thunderstorm.  Knowing that Nathan would not be too thrilled to head home so soon, I told him, "Nathan!  Let's go home so you can take a warm bath!"  I always try to emphasize the good (warm bath) as opposed to the bad (go home).  I'm not sure what parenting experts would say about that, but distraction works quite well with a two year old.  Alas, we got home to find that our hot water heater was on the fritz and the kids had to endure what was at best a lukewarm bath.  They played in the tub for awhile anyways, but Nathan said (slowly, as if trying to figure things out), "We came home for a warm bath...  This is a cold bath."

Nathan was playing and talking to himself today, and this is how the conversation went:
"What's Mama's name?  Heather.  What's Dada's name?  Jared.  What's Nathan's name?  Nafey.  What's Hannah's name?"  long pause  "Baby!!!"

A couple of weeks ago, Nathan shut Hannah in her room in the middle of the afternoon saying, "Good night, sleepy girl!"

When Nathan had an allergic reaction to mosquitoes and I had to take him to the doctor, he thanked me as we were leaving the office.  "Thank you for taking me to the doctor, Mama!"

He routinely tells me I did a good job after I finish my morning workout.

Yesterday morning we walked to the park to meet some friends, and the moon was visible in the pale blue sky.  Nathan found this very exciting, so we talked about the moon.
Nathan: "I want to touch the moon."
Me: "That would be fun, but it is too far away to touch.  Do you know how to get to the moon?"
Nathan: "In a rocket ship, like Dora."

Nathan on his Aunt McKenna "BaKenna loves me.  Her took me to the park."

There are so many more, but my mom is right - I need to write them down or I'll forget them!!!
