Cowboy hat.

We went to buy Mitch some new work boots today at Boot Country, yeehaw. Nate was so excited when we went in because he loves his daddy's boots and there were boots everywhere in there. Then, he found the hats. He picked up all the ones he could reach and tried them on. So we found him a youth one and he thought it was great. He was ready to go once he found one his size. He held onto it the whole way home and is still wearing it.

Polka dot bath.

Poor Nate had to have his checkup today and it of course involved shots. :( But he's perfect and hopefully won't have to go back until his next birthday. So tonight I broke out some foam dots I bought and he's in polka dot heaven. :)

Christmas and snow.

We almost had a white Christmas, but unfortunately it didn't show up until the day after. But Nate loved it regardless. He loved crunching through it and riding on his sled. Nate loved all his Christmas presents and carries his bat and golf clubs around all the time. He loves his books and George decals! :) Thank you everyone for the presents. He had a perfect Christmas.

Random.

Nate loves playing in all the boxes that his Christmas presents were shipped in. He has about 6 good sized boxes that he jumps in and out of. He also found a folded up box and sat down and played with it like it was a laptop. It took me a minute to realize what he was doing. He was "typing" on it and opening and closing it. It was cute. Then at Christmas he found all the straws and stuck as many as he could in his mouth. He looked like he had big walrus whiskers. Adorable.

Whoops.

"Sorry Mom, I just wanted to see what would happen if I took a bite out of the bag of black beans and twirled around."
I am pretty sure that is what he's trying to tell me.

Cowboys.

We got to go see the Cowboys play today at the Bengals stadium. Nate had a blast and Mitch was happy to find out that we weren't a jinx. The only Cowboys game we've ever been to was the last one in the old Texas Stadium and they lost. So now we know it wasn't our fault that they lost that one time we attended a game. Because apparently in the world of sports that is possible and completely logical. Anyway, Nate was hilarious . He would yell when everyone got excited and always ended up cheering for the wrong team. I'm pretty sure it was because anytime something good was happening for Dallas, Mitch would get wound up and I think Nate was trying to figure out what kind of "game" his dad was trying to play with him. Then, Nate thought he was in heaven after he stole most of Uncle Cody's popcorn. There was also this older gentleman that was calmly watching the game, all the while Nate would get super exited and yell right beside him and the man would just laugh. He thought Nate was the cutest. And who doesn't? But it was a happy happy day of family fun.

Well, we found Curious George on the Netflix..So in the morning, Nate gets to watch an episode while I make his breakfast. And his favorite way to do that is in his laundry basket, with a blanket and pillow. He will drag the basket everywhere. So he can sit by Mufasa, read a book, or play with his drums. Laundry baskets are awesome.
