The Nelson Family: I love to see the temple...

I love to see the temple...

Yesterday after Greg got off work, we went to Bellevue to have dinner with my aunt and uncle and some of my cousins. We had some time to spare before dinner started, so we went the Seattle Temple and walked around. This temple is so beautiful, and it kind of reminds me of the Rexburg Temple a little bit. It made me a little home sick. Since Deagan was born, we haven't had as much time as we would like to go to the temple, so it it was nice to even being on the grounds of a temple.

Deagan looks annoyed in this picture. He gets his picture taken so much that he is beginning to show his feelings about getting his picture taken.

We thought this would make a cute picture. Right after we took the picture, a guy who was leaving the temple came over to us and started talking to us. You could tell that he was thinking that he was about to have a missionary opportunity. He seemed a little let down when we told him that we were members.

He was nice enough though to take our picture.

I was trying to figure out if we'd see you guys at all before we move. What date are you guys getting back? I think we're leaving like the 9th of Apr. Well, you guys are as photogenic as ever. OH and I want your shoes, what kind are they??; March 8, 2008 at 10:09 PM
Jessica said...: I love payless! Did you get them recently? We're going back to WA for an internship/better paying job. Hopefully we'll be able to save up some mulah while we're there. I REALLY hope we move back to University Village, but we might not :( We'll definitely have to do something when you get back!; March 9, 2008 at 3:52 PM

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

Me: I never knew they were there...

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.

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! :)
