Dapper Dan

We just got back from the big city and thought we'd post a couple of pictures from our Easter adventure.  Nolan had a handsome suit for the occasion and looked quite dapper.  The one picture shows that Cousin Ky had a matching suit and was also quite a handsome man!  The kiddos had a quick egg hunt between church and brunch.  Both of Nolan's cousins were pro-egg hunters while Nolan took a more leisurely approach to the hunt.  He was more concerned with the treats that were in the eggs than actually finding the eggs!  So much so, that he resorted to picking treats out of the grass that dropped out of his egg rather than trying to find another egg.

Never a dull moment

This post won't include pictures since I didn't have my camera to capture the moments. If I did have pictures though, you would see a look of horror on my face!

The other day while Nolan and I were out shopping at Walmart, we passed a smelly man in the isle. I used my good manners and ignored the smell and kept walking but Nolan was a different story. He got a whiff of the man and immediately scrunched up his little nose and before I had a chance to say anything, Nolan loudly declares, "SMELLY... POO POO... SMELL ICKY!" I am not sure if the man got the hint but I quickly walked away from the situation and got the heck out of dodge!

The second moment must be a testament of how often Nolan has been misbehaving lately and how much time he is spending in his room in "timeout". We were in the living room playing yesterday and all of the sudden Nolan got up and picked up his doll. He took off like he was on a mission. He ran into his room and came back without his doll. He turned to me and said, "baby timeout!" Then a minute later, he ran back into his room and I could hear him ask his baby "ready?" We do this to Nolan after we go back to get him and ask him if he is ready to behave. Apparently he knows the routine of being in timeout well!

Life in the fast lane

Even though it is currently snowing like Christmas as I type this, it is spring out there... at least a few days ago it was! Nolan has been a busy little boy riding around on his "bike" and spending every moment that we will let him outside. He loves jumping in the puddles and as you saw on the last post, he loves to put his feet up on his bike and go for a ride.
