Home Sick So You Get an Update!

The boys and I are home sick from church today; Kayden is napping and Deagan is watching "Veggie Tales" so I thought I would catch up quick while things are quiet. It seems that we have been sharing sicknesses back and forth since Thanksgiving. Not fun! Gotta love this time of year!

Here are some more Christmas Eve Pictures:

A family "adopted" us for Christmas and gave this 4-wheeler for the boys! How fun is that! I just love Kayden's face in this picture.

Finally got both to look at the camera!

He looks like he has been caught doing something he shouldn't doesn't he?

Driving around!

Eating a paper towel that was used to clean him up with after a meal. Greg has a system down for cleaning him up; give him a wet paper towel and then Greg gets another one to wash him down with while Kayden is distracted sucking the water out of the other one. Weird but it works!

Cute little feet

Christmas Morning:

Both boys did not wake up till around 8:30! Talk about great right!?

Presents by the tree

Cute little ornament

Opening presents

Climbing in Presents

A Few things we have been doing while Greg has been on Break:

Trip to the MOST (A local science museum)

toothpick city

Always stuck in the stroller while Deagan gets to run around. Poor guy!

Funny mirrors

"Should I go in there?"

"Why not!?"

Mom and Kayden

Having Fun!

Going to the local YMCA almost every day. Thank goodness for an awesome kid center!

Attending an SU Basketball Game! Go SU! We figure we had to go to at least one game before we left here since their team is so good, and we are so glad we went! It was so fun and the boys did so good.

More than anything, we have just loved being together as a family. I am not looking forward to getting back into our normal routine tomorrow, but life has to keep going!

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...

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! :)
