Nate and the Spider

Nate is pretty funny about bugs. He likes them, but is also afraid sometimes. Tonight we got out the Halloween decorations for f.h.e. and there was a big plastic spider in there. I put in on a lamp shade, and then it turned up on the ground where Nate noticed it and started to smash it with a ball.

Then it flipped over and he squatted down beside it and hit the ground nearby trying to get the spider to move. When nothing happened he hit the ground again saying, "come on, dude!" Ah la la la la. Justin and I cracked up.

Then Justin took the spider and pretended to get Nate with it, but Nate jumped back and said, "Hey! Stop it Dad!" Such a funny age. That kid is endless entertainment.

Sorry about my poor cinematography.

Good Example

We often let Nate stay up after we put the girls to bed. We get one on one time with him, and he plays around while we sit or watch TV. He was so cute tonight! He put Ashley's soccer shin guards on his hands and did a funny one legged skip around dancing to the music on commercials. He was sitting on my lap looking at pictures of his cousin Rosie on her mom's blog when Ashley yelled downstairs for something. We had sent the girls to bed half an hour ago. Before Justin or I could do anything Nate yelled out, "GO TO BED!" "GO SLEEP!" in his little baby voice. If you ask us where he learned that, we'll say, "I have no recollection of that, senator."

Bash on a roll

This kid is cracking me up today. First, she says to me, "Mom, who is coming over tonight? Tammy better be coming over!" Incidentally we had no plans for tonight.

Then she says (while standing next to me whining and talking about many things). "Mom, why can't we call Tammy and say, 'could you come over, my kid is freaking out." All said in a very monotone and manner of fact voice.

Then while playing with my cell phone and after Nate spit up on himself she says, "Mom, can I take a picture of that?"

There is just no end to her hilarity.
