09.26.11 - Potty practice


Nate has been watching Maddie go potty for the last three months and tonight decided he wanted to try it for himself. He's got the reading part down, as did his sister (click here) when she was learning. He's still working on the other part.

09.24.11 - Tree house and Grandma's house


It was the Smithsonian's Museum Day today, so we took advantage of the free admission to checkout Botanica. We'd never been there and we were told its Childrens' Garden was awesome.

And. It. Is.

Here, Angie and Nate stop for a portrait while climbing the tree house.


Nate spent a lot of time watering the flowers outside Grandma's house while Maddie was inside baking cookies with some other girls.


So many watering cans and so many flowers to water. Where to start?


Soon he realized Maddie was somewhere else and he went looking for her. It usually doesn't matter what Maddie's up to, Nate wants to be right there with her. I hope she doesn't mind!


As a result, he likes to play kitchen. Maybe he'll grow up to be a famous chef. Or at least invite his mom and dad over for dinner every now and then.
