A Little About Nathan

Sometimes I post an interview with Kenny. I can't interview Nathan because he doesn't understand what I'm asking. So I thought I would post a little about what our little Naters is like at almost 4 years old.

Nathan's favorite food is cheeseburgers. he likes to have flavor in his food and he usually won't eat a lot od mac & cheese without salsa. His favorite movie by far is Wall-E. Lightening McQueen follows in a close second. Every night he prays for Jesus, Heavenly Father, Miss Rachel (his babysitter), and hot dogs.

He hates to be left behind if anyone is going anywhere. He loves to go to stores and restaurants.

He is one of those '"stay quiet in the the background" kind of kids, which usually means he gets away with things because he isn't in you face. However, when he is unhappy he has a scream that sounds like a ring wraith from Lord of the Rings. He has figured out if you hang quietly with the grownups you tend to get little treats and sips of sodas. Though his hair has darkened, he is still a little towhead. He has big bluish-green eyes, long lashes, pale skin with pink cheeks, and naturally pouty lips. If I let his hair grow out he has bouncing curls. He would have been a knock-out little girl. And let me tell you, he knows how to use those lips and eyes to manipulate! I have never seen a kid who can pout like he can.

He likes to play with cars, Star Wars with his bubba, and anything Little Einsteins. His life ambition is to ride on a school bus. And he thinks there is a baby in his tummy, only it is much smaller than mommy's (his words).

He's started trying to develop a sense of humor. He'll say odd little things and bust up laughing. Yesterday at church, he was looking at Papa (the bishop) on the stand and he suddenly used his fingers to pull his lips apart and stick out his tongue. Never done that before.

He's torn between wanting to be a big boy with the whole "I do it" thing and wanting to be the baby. We hope that having a new baby will push him into growing up, but I have a fear it may cause him to revert a bit. I guess we'll see.

This is Nathan, being Daddy.

I go to the doctor this afternoon. Hopefully my next post will have a picture of my three little boys!
