Cupcake

My man knows how to enjoy a cupcake!

Night Night Mommy

This morning Nathan woke up at about 6:45 (a little early for him). Then mid-morning I gave him some chocolate chips and butterscotch chips while I was making a dessert for later. He had an allergic reaction to the butterscotch chips so we had to give him some benadryl. After eating lunch he almost laid his head down on the table but I told him he could go night night after eating. He got down from the table and went in the den to play so I gave him his five minute warning. Not a minute later we hear "Night Night Mommy." Nathan was in his bed telling me he was going night night. He had gone to the den and picked out a car to sleep with and gone and climbed in his bed. He was that tired. Before I could finish singing to him his eyes were closed and he was asleep.

Yancey Update

Nathan is much better today. He woke up this morning with his temp almost back to normal and has been fine today. A very sweet, kind, loving, generous, cannot say enough how wonderful Mr. Sam Williams is, loaded our car on his trailer and pulled it down to the dealership on Tuesday for the second time in the past five years. God blesses us day in and day out through our church family. It is amazing how He provides for our needs. Well, two days later and much poorer we have the Maxima back with a new battery, ignition system and key. God is good!

Since we had to go to Dothan anyway to get the car, we were able to make a morning of it for Nathan. We went to the train store (Books a Million), the toy store (Toys R Us), the Veggie Tales store (Lifeway) and Chick-Fil-A. These are all play places for Nathan so he had quite a morning! Again God is good!

A Sick Little Man

I haven't posted in two days because we've had a sick little man around our house. He's had what I'm thinking is a little fever virus because he's not showing any other symptoms or signs of illness. He's had 101+ temp since yesterday afternoon. He plays awhile and then just wants to lay around and cuddle with mommy which is fine with me. Tonight I got him ready for bed and put him on the couch to watch Einstein Lullabies. He said "Mommy get the blanket." Which he never says. He never watches a show in the den with a blanket so he must still not feel too great. Hopefully his fever will break during the night.

Climbing in to the Cabinet

This kitchen cabinet is one of Nathan's favorite play places. He loves to swing the door open wide, pull the same pot out, push it aside on the floor and climb in and close the door. The other day a memory struck me. One of those times that it hits you that you're the adult now and this is your child doing the same things. One of the few tales I have from the Bowman side of the family is from my Grandmama Bowman. She told me many a time, "Meredith Ann we used to get so tickled at you. When you was a little bitty thing, just a little bitty old thing, you loved to pull all the pots and pans out of the cabinet and just climb in the cabinet and play." I wish she could see Nathan now doing the same thing.

Toddler Prayers

Tonight's prayer time

Mommy: Thank you God for Daddy and Nathan and Jesus and all our friends at church.
Nathan: Thank you God for Mrs. Yvonne (Sunday school teacher)
pause
Thank you God for e v e r y b o d y.
pause
That's a good idea Nathan!

Rainy Days

When it rains and rains and rains some more what do you do when you are stuck inside all that time? We watched several "shows" and played with flashlights and play doh and even made a tent. It seems like as a child we made tents and played in them for hours. Nathan's interest didn't last for hours but he did enjoy it.
