A Few Nolan Moments

A few things that Nolan has done lately, that I don't want us to forget.

*We made it through our second sacrament meeting the whole way through!  I'm not sure how we did it, and i'm sure the fact that it ended 15 minutes early helped.  We made a big deal about it and I hope we can do this again in the near future

*Nolan loves Toy Story 3 right now - 

*He laughs at the funniest things and will say, "Mom, that bear was kinda silly."

*I hope this doesn't stick around, but he says to us, "Do you understand, mom?"  

*Loves spinning in circles and getting dizzy

*Asks to be carried and when I pick him up, he says, "I'm to big."  I tell him he is and that he should be walking.

*Loves to turn on the lights in the house.

*Loves to see Christmas lights and asks where did they go if we haven't seen any for a while

*Can point out bulldozers, dump trucks and everything construction site related.  He sees a bulldozer crane or concrete truck and wants to see it and asks where it is going.  Ryan got him a book, Goodnight, goodnight construction site and Nolan wants to read it at least once a day.  

*He loves to snuggle up with his blankets and stuffed animals.

*Loves chocolate milk and that is the first thing he asks for in the mornings

*He has about 7 cars and carries them around everywhere - bathtub, bed, car, i'm talking everywhere.  If one is missing he knows it and says, "Mom, where is my yellow car." It cracks us up every time.  

*Asks a lot of questions as of late, "Mom, why is the moon in the sky?" "What is this when?" "What doing?"

*Opens the fridge and gets whatever he wants from it.  One day I looked up and saw Nolan carrying a carton of eggs around, saying he wanted some eggs. 

*Has started to copy what we say in our nighttime prayers.  This is really sweet.  He also copies what we say to him as we are leaving his room, love you and sweet dreams.

*Wants to go to a Ute game every day - when we drive past the stadium he says I want to go that way.  Last night we were watching the basketball game on TV and Nolan kept jumping up and down saying, "Go Utes!" 

*Jumps from the coffee table to the couch and thinks it is the funnest thing ever.

*Likes bath time and brushing his teeth

*Asks where his friends are - Where is Luke?, Where is Dwight?, Where is Adali?, Where is my dad?, Where is my mom?, where is Collie?, Where is my Maria (Larkin)?, Where is Jett? etc.  He will go through this on a daily basis.  Sometimes i'll turn the question around to him and ask him where Luke is and he will say, "At his parents house." or "She is at her Raleigh home."

*Likes going to school each day

*Eats graham crackers in the car on the way to school and on the way home

*Has to eat applesauce daily

*Sleeping through the night, now if only we could get him to sleep past 5:30 am or 6:00 am.  

*Likes jam sandwiches and yogurt

*Likes to give us hugs and says I like you mom/dad.  Sometimes he will say I love you

*Plays with my hair and says awww mom's hair

*Likes to help sweep the floor and help cook meals.  He loves to be in the action.  Sometimes he will take the broom and just start sweeping the floor for no reason

*Will sit and look at books and pretend to read them.  I love this!

*Loves his cousin Corbin and Easton - asks for them almost every day.

*We were at my parent's house on Sunday and Nolan was very quiet.  I went looking for him and found him in a castle they have.  He had somehow taken a whole box of wheat thins from the pantry and put it in the castle and was eating them.  I had to laugh and call Ryan over to see what his son was doing.
