Nicholas has a Mickey Mouse bank that someone brought him from Disneyland. I started giving him a few coins for being helpful and stuff like that. Tonight we were talking about it as he was winding down before bedtime. I asked him what he would buy with his bank money. He apparantly has a list going. It includes new doors for his room, a new chalkboard, more dinosaurs, some new shoes, a new garbage can and a new bag for it. Its nice to dream I guess.
A little later, I asked him if he would like to pray. When he said yes, I asked him who he would like to pray for. Instead, he just started praying… “Dear Jesus, thank you for doggies and Leazas (his imaginary friend we think) and for kitties and for windows and for bones and bones for kitties too”. After a little pause, I asked if that was it, to which he said, “Jesus name, amen”.
He never ceases to amuse and amaze me.
We let Nicholas hold Cody for the first time last night. He was eager to do it until it came time. Then, probably because of our concern for him being careful, he got a little apprehensive about the thought of it. We finally convinced him that everything would be fine. I took about 30 shots and these are some of our favorites. You can tell that Nicholas is very excited and happy. Cody seemed a bit indifferent to the whole process…
I can’t count the number of times I say that to Nicholas every day. It’s not that he’s overly clumsy, he just gets so wrapped up in whatever he’s doing that he sometimes forgets other things, like walking and not running into walls. I can’t stand to see him get hurt, but I know its just part of being a little boy.
Today he was playing on a rocking horse. Once I got him settled in, I walked a few feet away and stood on a little concrete slab to watch him. He looked up from riding and said to me, “you be careful, don’t fall and break yourself”. OK son, thanks for the reminder.
Welcome to Nicholas and Cody’s blog. Hopefully, we can be diligent to update this with news and daily stuff to help keep you informed about what goes on with them. So, here we go…
