Nathan, my romantic boy

Nathan is a ladies man in kindergarten. He's usually surrounded by a small gaggle of girls. He just eats up the attention. He is following in his grandfather's footsteps. LOL

Nathan has his favourite girls; at the beginning of the year it was all about Elizabeth but now he's all about Cheyanne. The little red haired girl to my Charlie Brown boy.

We saw Cheyanne, her little sister Autumn and their Mom at Home Depot one day and we stopped to chat. After we walked away, I started to harass Nathan about Cheyanne.

"Is Cheyanne your girlfriend?"

"No!", Nathan says with a silly grin.

"Do you have a crush on Cheyanne?"

"No!", he replies again.

A minute later, Nathan turns to me and says, "Mom, Cheyanne makes my eyes turn to hearts."

It took all my energy not to crack up laughing. He was so sincere and so dripping with puppy love that I almost fell over. I beat a hasty backtrack to Cheyanne and her Mom to tell her this tidbit. Her Mom shrieked in laughter and we've been talking about it since.

This is definitely one to bring up (in some form or another) at his wedding.

Freaking Accident Prone Kids

On Victoria Day, I was taking a shower and the boys decided it would be fun to come in and take up all the available space. I had just climbed out and was starting to dry off when I heard a horrendous ca-THUD and Nicholas started to scream. As I helped him out of the tub, I saw gob loads of blood coming from his mouth. I thought, 'OK, he's bitten his lip or tongue. It'll stop any minute now.' No such luck!

I finally got him to let me take a look and the blood was coming from the gumline above his right front tooth. A cold wet cloth did little to stem the bloodflow. It did finally slow a bit, enough that he wasn't drooling blood anymore and I was able to call Healthlink. They recommended the Emergency Dental Clinic at the U of A hospital in case he had split the tooth at or inside the gum line.

I was able to get him in to see the dentist and after an x-ray, Nicholas was cleared to go. The tooth is not broken anywhere but it is loosened pretty significantly. He is supposed to be on soft food or liquids for 5-7 days. Oh, this'll be FUN! LOL Thank goodness the kid likes Pediasure, milk and bananas. He keeps asking for pickles though...maybe he's pregnant. LOL

Random Bragging about my Boys

Here are my little monsters. You'd ALMOST think that they liked each other. LOL Nicholas always wants to do what Big Brother Nathan is doing. I know that this frustrates Nathan to no end but he's gotta live with it. They will be brothers forever...even if they don't always like each other.
This is Nicholas, my future football player/rugby player/professional wrestler. LOL He is not even 3 yet and wearing clothes that Nathan just outgrew last fall. He is 38 inches tall and about 40 pounds. He's a real cheeseball when it comes to having fun. He likes to play innocent but I know that he's really an evil little munchkin. LOL
And Nathan...my first born, my sunshine boy and my biggest source of torment. He is high octane, high energy and more than a little sensitive. He is very much like Stephen in that he is strong willed and likes to test the boundaries. I wouldn't have it any other way. Well, maybe a little more respectful of Mommy's authority but he's cute so he makes up for it. HaHa!
