My Nathan

This is my Nathan baby at around 18 months old. I love this laughing face.

His birthday was on August 9th and he's 6 now. Man oh man has he ever changed! He's still a goofy monkey but he's more anxious for our approval now. He's compassionate and charming and full speed ahead in his behaviour. Some call him spirited, I call him high octane. He's the Energizer Bunny, he just never stops.

Daddy wasn't home for the actual birthday so we celebrated when he got home. The cake was chocolate with raspberry filling and obnoxious coloured icing that stained every bodily surface it touched. LOL Blue lips and tongue anyone?

Because he's still fully in love with Cars the movie, he got a race track with Cars characters. We also picked up extra character cars because he needed an audience for the races. LOL He got a motorcycle toy, a bilingual memory/matching game, Mack and Lightning McQueen Lego, and a Leapster game device. I'm hoping the game helps teach him in a more entertaining way that Mommy hasn't been able to duplicate.

So here he is, my 6 year old monster. I sometimes wish he was still little so I could wrap him in my arms and protect him from the world. He tries to be so independent but he's got a sensitive spirit and I know his feelings get hurt. He won't say anything but I can see it in his eyes. I can see me in there too.
