The Nelson Family: Long over due

Long over due

I have been so bad about updating our blog lately. So here is a quick update over the past couple of weeks:

*We moved into our new apartment on the 10th of this month! We love our new apartment, and we are excited to get to know our new ward. We do miss our old ward very much though and our old apartment. We had so many memories there. The day we moved in to our old apartment I found out I was pregnant with Deagan. We brought him home to that apartment. We made memories that can never be repeated in that apartment. It will always hold a special place in our hearts, as will this apartment we have moved in to I am sure.
*I started my last semester on campus early this month. I will finish up all my on campus classes this semester and will need to take a couple of on line classes this summer to completely finish up. I can't believe I am this close to graduating! I love going to school and I love everything that I am studying!
*Greg started an internship that will last him through this semester.
*Greg completed all of his graduate school applications, and now we are in the waiting period of what to do next!
*Deagan is talking so much lately. He is always jabbering to us, and I am starting to pick up on a few more words. He is so fun! I am thinking that I would like another one of these cute little guys soon!

Dawn said...: I missed your posts. Deagan is looking cute as ever. Where did Greg apply for graduate schools? I hope it is either Powell (highly unlikely), BYU (or the U even), or somewhere near Dallas, TX so we can see each other more often!; January 25, 2009 at 12:55 PM
Dawn said...: I hope you guys end up in San Antonio. I think it is a few hours away but Bryan promised me a trip there because I've always wanted to see the river walk and everything. That's where Bryan's family takes mini vacations - it sounds pretty nice.; January 25, 2009 at 5:19 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! :)
