oh the things i learn!

my own super hero!

so. nate is big into super hero's.  i am sure the comics in chris's office sparked the interest.  nate wants to learn how to read so he can read the comic books, which is funny cause they are written in swiss. ha. the books are from chris's childhood.  anyways.  i find myself spending a lot of time looking up super hero's...thank goodness for google!

so far i am educated with x-men, spider man, superman, hulk, cyclops, iron man and many more...i don't let him watch the shows yet. he's too young for that but books, stickers are a good incentive to reading don't ya think?

we were at walmart the other day and nate found this above toy mask and gloves. he wanted them so bad! so i told him i would go look the price up, the gloves were 20. nopers. not paying 20 for those!  the mask way only 9 so i told him that he had enough money in his bank from nana and papa that he could buy them.

he thought about it for a minute

then said 'no, i'll put them back. i will give the money to julio (sp?)  so he can buy toys'

my heart!

then nate put them back, took my hand and walked out of the store!

yesterday after his LAST DAY OF PRESCHOOL!!!!!  nate was quiet, too quiet. so i looked around and saw this. hahahaha. he covered his mouth with super hero stickers!  silly kid!

last week i bought him a pad of stickers of super hero's and left them out for his snack (yes, i leave a snack every morning for nate, sometimes a note)  he was SO freaked out and excited that he ran up and woke us both up to show us his gife. lesson learnt and understood! NEVER leave a gift out...haha i love sleep!

yesterday nate walked up to me and said 'mom, your belly is now bigger than mine and daddy's'
i said 'thanks dude'
then he said 'your butt is way bigger too'

sigh
it's true...ha!
