Yesterday morning, Nathan greeted me with, "Good Mornin', Mommy!" He was so expressive. The he followed it up with, "Let's play, Mommy!" Then, he rolled over and said, "I like that picture now." The same canvas print that he a few weeks back had commented that he didn't like because it had too many flowers. I asked him why he liked it now, but he never answered. It was such a wonderful start to my day :)
Then, last night when it was time to pray, Nathan went first. He said, "Thank you for Tim Tebow." Awwww! So precious! We're all thankful for him and his heart and it's so neat that Nathan thanked God for him and didn't even realize what he was doing. Then he continued to thank God for the my sun, my ps-ghetti, my sky, etc. I love to hear him pray. :)

Sweet Sayings
These all happened this week or last week. {last week of August 2012}
1. Football was on. Not Tebow's team. One of the teams was running the ball and gaining yardage. Nathan says expressively, "Stop him! Stop him! Stop him, Tebow! Stop playing games!"
2. Nathan and I were playing trains. He has one that is a milk freight car. It was looking like it had the possibility of coming off the tracks. I mentioned that if the milk spilled, somebody wouldn't be happy about it. I was referring to him, as he is a milk-aholic. I think I explained to him that because he liked milk so much, he wouldn't be happy about it if it spilled over. Well, a few seconds later, Nathan accidentally tipped the milk car off of the tracks. He looked at me and said, "I'm happy of that," meaning that he was not upset that the milk tipped over.
3. Our washing machine had to be repaired. Two men came to fix it. Nathan was not shy at all with them. He said, "Hey, Mans! You want to play ball?" and "What you doin', Mans?" I love that he made it plural. It was so cute. Unfortunately, the men didn't give him the time of day and didn't appreciate his adorable-ness.
4. Nathan had two great nursery experiences at church last week, once in the am and once in the pm. He was happy, no crying, etc. Then, later that night, when we put him to sleep, he told Dave, "I missed you at the nursery." :( and :)
5. For some reason, Nathan's bike helmet has made itself inside. He put it on this morning and said he was a fireman. I said, "Hello, Fireman Nathan." He wore it for a little while, but when it came to eating breakfast, he wanted to take it off. He asked me to take it off and then he said, "I'm still Fireman Nathan."
6. We recently started watching "The Berenstain Bears" on TV. It is the most wholesome, respectful, lesson-teaching show! So glad we discovered it! Anyway, the song is one that will stick in your head. So, we watched it one morning this week and later in the day, while I was doing some dishes, I called out to Nathan, "You know what song is in my head, Nathan? The Berenstain Bear song is stuck in my head." He came over to me at the sink. He looked up at me, with seeming purpose. He cocked his head, the way he always does. Then he said, "It's not on your head, Mommy." Just as serious as anything!!!! I was laughing and it made me laugh later time and time again! So cute!
7. We were painting. I started painting objects that started with letters and then I would paint the letter. Then, I would ask Nathan what letter that was. Some he knew, some he didn't. I happened to draw two things that started with the letter "A." This is how the conversation went:
Me: Nathan, what is that?
Nathan: Apple.
Me: Yes! Apple starts with the letter A.
{I paint something else that started with A and I can't remember it now.}
Me: Nathan, what's this?
Nathan: {whatever it was}
Me: Yes! It starts with A, too. Hey, A, A. {Pointing to A for apple and A for whatever the other thing was.} Same, same.
Nathan: {looks down and away and softly says}You're killin' me, Mommy.
Ahhh hahaha! I was laughing. This, of course, is a line from The Sandlot "You're killin' me, Smalls."
8. Nathan says as he lays on Pip, "I'm enjoying Pip."
9. I was in the laundry room doing laundry and came to check on Nathan in the living room. He was sitting on the floor. I asked him if he was okay. He said he was and, "I was just playing baseball." Then he pretended to pitch with a pretend ball and glove. So, I pretend to swing with a pretend bat. Then he makes a really funny face, almost like something smelled bad kind of face. Then he says, "I was just playing with Squints...Go away, Mommy, please." {Squints is a character from The Sandlot movie.} So, I went back to laundry. Later I check in with him. "I'm still playin' with Squints." He was still sitting on the floor. I think he was pretending that a cardboard box was the fence. Anyway, the whole thing was funny and kind of weird. He was acting funny.
