Red Wagon

 

 

 

 

We got a Nati a wagon off of Craig's List with some of his Christmas money and he LOVES it. He spends most of his time getting in and out of it. Opening and closing the special seat compartment. It is so cute. I think every kid should have a wagon!

Over spring break my best friend and her husband came to visit. We had so much fun. Nataga kept trying to get their dog into the wagon and would say "Reese" and try to coax the dog over. I don't think their dog ever did get into the wagon but Nati sure had fun trying. Another cute thing is that when we were visiting with their family Nati was playing with some boys and one of them was trying to "watch" him. It was so cute b/c after a while, in exasperation, he said "You get back here you little road runner!" We couldn't have had more fun and Nati, David, and I are working on getting them to move closer! They are buying a new house in their area but we're not giving up! We've always talked about living by each other and hope it happens some day!

What else? Nati has mastered the art of locking people/himself in or out of places. Recently he locked himself in his room (we have a key so it wasn't a big deal) and today I went to the garage for a second to check on the laundry and he closed the door and locked me out of the house. We're working on moving so I just got back in by using the lock box on the front of our door. Still it was kind of funny. (Neighbor) "Hi, how are you?" (Me, walking to the door) "Great. How are you?" (Neighbor) "Good. Where's Nataga" (Me) "In the house." (awkward pause) (Neighbor) "Confused look." (Me) "He locked me out of the house. He is learning how to lock and unlock things!" (Neighbor) "Laughing (and walking away). Enjoy your day!"
Our neighbors are very sweet and always say "Hi" and find out how things are going with us. I was hoping to sneak back in quietly! Oh well!
Nataga also LOVES cars. He will drive them around the house for hours making "vroom" noises. He vocabulary is increasing daily. He is growing by leaps and bounds and is VERY smart! If we don't want him in something we have to make sure he isn't watching as we use it or he'll figure it out and be in it himself.
