as he takes off running: "TURNIN ON MY BLASTER!!!!!!"

hey thanks nolan.
no problem mom. i'm here to help you out!

today during aila's nap we read a book about being a big brother. he said he wanted to read it back to me so page by page, we went through and he "read" it out loud. we got to one page where the boy is helping to take care of the baby and he "reads" that he can help feed her and change the diaper and share toys and watch her play and give her some dinner and 'feed her with my boob' and give her a bath........ and on and on but i stopped listening after he got to the nursing part- too funny!!

dressing himself

the instructions were thus:
Nolan- go upstairs and get your clothes changed and then we can play outside (with outside being the operative word- in july- in missouri)

We've got a bit of the Kriss-Kross will make you jump thing going on.

And we got sidetracked by Yo Gabba Gabba on the computer.

PS- Ignore the mess ;)

do lightning bugs hold their butts up in the air so that they can see what's going on??
a valid question i think since they always come out in the dark :) he also pushed his butt out to demonstrate what a lantern as a butt would look like.

he just unfolded the instructions for some electronic advice.

dad will you read this to me?
no buddy- why don't you read it to me instead
ok- it says dear Lord- thank you for this day. thanks you for food. faith and friends and..... what is it dad?
family.
yes. for family. the end. amen :)
