The Nelson Family: I think I spoke too soon...

I think I spoke too soon...

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post of how lovely the weather was here and how the flowers were blooming. Well, I take it back. ITS SNOWING TODAY HERE IN SEATTLE!! I already packed away our camera cord, so I couldn't post a picture of the snow, but it is snowing and it is sticking! As I have watched it fall outside I think that this is happening to prepare us for going back to Rexburg. It has been so nice here, and it would have been totally unfair to go from this to the freezing temperatures of Rexburg with out any kind of transition, so here it is!

Along with this wonderful news, we are coming home today!! We are all packed up, and I am just waiting for Greg to get off work so we can leave. Once again our car is packed to the limit, and it will be quite the ride home. I think it was a blessing in disguise when Greg got in that car accident right before I came up to Seattle because there is NOOO way that we would have been able to get back in the other car. We have a Durango now, but even with that it is a squeeze. I do not handle the stress very well with moving, so I am sure that Greg is just as excited as I am to get out of here. We are going to try and drive as far as we can tonight, so more than likely we will be back in the good old Rexburg TOMORROW!!! Until then....

Laura said...: I'll be sure to spend extra time in my kitchen in my garmies these next two weeks before we leave so you can be caught up on that. I think that was how I introduced myself to you and Greg when you first moved in... I'm pretty sure it was you, if not... well... ignore this. ;); March 28, 2008 at 6:15 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! :)
