The Nelson Family: Bath time and other good times

Bath time and other good times

Bath time has become one of Deagan's favorite times of the day. He has gotten really good at sitting up on his own, so I thought we would try it out in the tub. He loved the new perspective on an already loved past time! He loved to suck on his little wash clothe too. The things that become so fasinating to him are endless. It is so fun to watch him discover the world around him. Things that I find mundane and ordinary make his eyes sparkle with excitement. Those are the moments that help me feel that I am doing an ok job even though it seems like I am torturing him on trying to get him to sleep on his own. Which by the way seems to be getting easier. Time if the best medicine I guess.

These last pictures are kind of random, but they almost look like twins don't you think!? It was not planned either.

This picture just makes me smile.

This is the craziest picture of Deagan. It doens't even look like him for some reason. What a cutie.

Parenthood is so much fun. I know that I am guided daily with taking care of Deagan because I know that I couldn't do this on my own. I hope that everyone is doing well! I miss you all!

Unknown said...: This is Miriah, even though it's posting as Tom. You are the cutest Mom ever! It must be hard to put school off for a semester and be in an unfamiliar place...but you make it look easy! Good for you. Hope all is well, and I hope you know that even though we haven't lived in the same town for like five years, you are still an example to me.; February 23, 2008 at 9:34 AM

School, I have two semesters left after this one and then I will be done! I can't wait! How is Greg's internship going?; February 24, 2008 at 5:48 PM

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.

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! :)
