Busy Busy Busy

Nicholas is getting so big...I haven't had a moment to post anything in awhile. Just a few new things Nicholas is doing: he loves Thomas the Train so much so that it must be on tv if it is on. I have found out about something called Day Out with Thomas that happens in October in Palestine and we have already planned that as a must do for the fall! As soon as one episode of Thomas is over he is quickly saying More Choo Choo! It's so cute and so hard not to fall for. Since his very first bath he has always loved taking a bath. But recently, he has not been crazy about it. The best part though, just a few weeks ago he would scream if you even mentioned being done done in the bathtub. But now, as soon as I stand up to take him out, he turns the water off and stands up for me to lift him up out of the tub.
The funniest thing, our neighbor next door has a Mustang. Everytime we walk to the car and see her car, he says "Munang"!

New experiences

Nicholas studying trucks

Exploring the Hibiscus flower

Nicholas is full of surprises these days. He says paci, dump truck, bus, go car go, school and so much more. Today we went to go grab the paperwork for his new daycare where he will start at the end of June. I was a little bit concerned about how he would do but after today, I know he will do just fine. He was so excited to go somewhere new and was even okay while I was in the office and he was in his new classroom. This afternoon we are probably going to go to the pool for a swim. If we do, I'll post pics later tonight of the pool

Memorial Day Weeend

Nothing exciting for this weekend. John and I are both working on Sunday and Monday so no school for Nicholas. We took him this morning to go spend the weekend with MiMi and PaPa in Palestine. We miss him a lot but we won't even be home much the next few days. Nothing new going on here except for Nicholas is just learning more and more everyday. It's so fun watching his little brain learn so much.

Back to Work

What a busy day at work! It feels like there are just not enough hours in the day. Today was also Nicholas' first day with his new teacher, Ms. Daphne. He seemed to have a lot of fun. His teacher left a note that said that he had so much fun and didn't want to let go of the cars and trucks to have his diapers changed. I also found out that he knows what a star and a turtle is.

End of Vacation

Such a sad sad day. It's the end of mine and John's vacation. We got back from Disney World yesterday afternoon and spent all day today and last night with my mom. She and Nicholas had a great time while we were gone. She even put together this really cute scrapbook of all the cute things Nicholas did while we were gone in a Mickey Mouse scrapbok as if it were his Disney vacation. We are still trying to get things back in order since we've been gone for so long. John is doing much better than I am evidently since he is already taking a nap at 3:30 this afternoon. I will have post pictures when I get a chance!

Pictures

He saw the camera come out and this was his pose! Cute, huh?

Look how smart he is. I think he wanted Daddy to go somewhere with Daddy.

Swimming

This last weekend John took Nicholas swimming at the pool and Nicholas had quite the wondrous time! Nicholas had a great time playing. Sorry I don't have any pictures but John took him by himself so there was no way to keep up with Nicholas and take pictures! There are little fountains that shoot sprays of water across the pool and Nicholas thought that it was hilarious! They stayed at the pool for about an hour and Nicholas did not want to leave. John had to take him out of the pool kicking and screaming and shriveled up like a raisin. They came home and Nicholas was worn out. His 3 hour nap was proof of that. Yesterday, Nicholas had an art project for a Mother's Day present so I cannot say anymore than that. After Mother's Day I will post pictures of his beautiful art!
