The Nelson Family: Update!

Update!

So we are finally in Washington! After a 13 hour car drive in a car that PACKED to the limit, we made it safely Saturday night. Greg started his internship in Seattle on Tuesday, and I am staying in Ephrata until we can move into our apartment next weekend. I miss him like crazy, and I know that Deagan does too. We are very excited to see him this weekend when he comes up. It will be nice to be together as a family again. Deagan and I are keeping ourselve busy though. I finally learned how to knit today! I have been wanting to this for years, and now I finally know how. My goal is to make a scarf, and if that goes well maybe something more! Deagan is growing up like crazy. He is eating rice cereal now. At first he didn't really seem to like it, but he has been eating it for a couple of weeks now and I think he likes it. It is hard to stay too sad about Greg not being here when I get to take care of Deagan. He just makes things so much better with out even trying.

Deagan loves to stand up. So he is in this position quite a bit during the day.

This was the second time that we fed rice cereal to Deagan, and it got all over him. It is hard to tell from this picture, but he was pretty covered.

Mom and Deagan hanging out.

James & Tara Huish said...: Hi Michelle!
I'm so sorry I haven't contacted you sooner! I've missed you! I was so excited when I saw your blog on linzi's! Congrats on the baby! (A little belated!) I hope everything went great! He is absolutely adorable! As soon as I saw him, I totally saw you! Maybe there's a little Craig, but I see you! I feel awful that I never got a chance to thank you for that adorable outfit you gave Braden. It was on my doorstep and we left a few hours later. Every time Braden wears it I always wish I could tell you thank you! Good luck in Seattle. Love ya!

Kids do and say the darndest things...

I don't want to forget all the cute things that my children have said or will say, so check back often to see what the Nelson family has to say!

Kayden: Do I still have my eyeballs or are they still at Grandma and Grandpa's house?

Me: I never knew they were there...

January 8, 2011

I was tired this afternoon, and I needed to nurse Kayden. I felt too tired to go pick up Kayden from where he was, so jokingly I asked Deagan if he would go change Kayden's diaper, nurse him, and then put him down for a nap.

He took it seriously, and said, "I have little boobies mommy! But do I have milk?"

Me: "No you don't have milk. I was just kidding."

Deagan: "But do I have water in my boobies?"

Needless to say, he did not follow through with what I said:)

*We went to Olive Garden for dinner tonight, and after the waitress brought us our breadsticks my son yelled after her, "Thank you lady!"

*My oldest loves to bring toys with him to bed. Tonight he had a couple of toy dinosaurs that he got for Christmas. The rule we have of bringing toys in bed is that the toys can't play, they have to sleep too. Tonight, he was having a hard time just letting his toys sleep, so I kept asking him to stop playing with the dinosaurs so he could go to sleep. He was getting really frustrated at me because of this and towards the end he started saying, "I am very mad at you!" It was so hard for me not to laugh at that.

January 4, 2009

He has done this for a while now, but whenever we are in the car he will ask, "Where are we going?" in a annoyed kind of voice. Later on he will ask really sadly, "Where did my house go?"

My oldest woke up really early this morning, and was whiny and impossible to please. At this point, I am dreading the day ahead and it is only 7 a.m. My oldest was sitting on his play table coloring and playing with his paint box (that was empty). He dropped the paint box, and began whining for me to pick it up. The conversation went something like this:

D: "Pick it up Mommy!"

Me: "It is right by you, you pick it up."

**Pause from Deagan**

D: "Michelle! Pick it up!"

I couldn't help but smile when he called me Michelle. Maybe this day will be better then I am expecting.

I think that wanting your privacy while going potty is a natural instinct that we are all born with and that develops over time. D is beginning to show signs that this privacy is a very important time when going to the bathroom. This afternoon I was making dinner and came in to the living room to check on him. As I walked into the room, he held out his hand and yelled, "No Mom! Go back!" I can always tell when he is done by him allowing me to stay in the same room with him.

D wants me to always watch what he is doing regardless of what it is. His new favorite thing to say is, "WATCH MOM!" over and over.

July 11, 2009

I was taking a bath, and locked D in the bathroom with me while I did so so I could keep an eye on him. During this process, D was very interested in his old nursing buddies (if you get my drift) and kept saying "Yummy!" "Yummy?" I asked him. "What did it taste like?" "HOT DOGS!" He replied!

D is a big help around the house. He puts things away when I ask him to, sometimes. He helps me fold the laundry, by that I mean he lays in the laundry. He is just a great help. One of his new things is to throw away his diapers after I am done changing him. After a diaper change this afternoon, he proceeded to pick up the diaper and head to the trash. His normal trash that he uses was out of reach, so I told him to go into the bathroom right off of the kitchen and to put the diaper in the trash right next to the toilet. I think all he heard from that was, "Put it in the....toilet." because that is where he put it. Like I said, very helpful! :)
