{what has the Nolan boy been up to?}

Our little pirate has been up to no good lately. Well, I shouldn't say no good but he thinks he is the most clever kid on the block. Nolan has figured out that if he uses his bulldozer he can reach higher places and get things he knows are not suppose to be touched. For example, first to my right there is a picture of him struggling to get to the toaster oven. He likes to turn the oven part on to broil and then leave. No good! I have to watch him like a hawk. Then there is the fridge. He has learned that the bulldozer can get him to all the magnets his heart desires. He loves to pull everything off the fridge and then leave once again.



Third, he has learned to use his bulldozer to get to the sink and anything we leave in it. It was a good thing that daddy was there because I put all the dirty knives in the sink thinking that Nolan can't get to them there. I stand proven wrong.
Fourth, he uses his bulldozer to grab anything and everything down from our very "spacious" counter top. In the last picture he is trying to get to the nice grapes I had just purchased.
Because of this bulldozer situation we have been using the word "NO" a lot around our place. And Nolan has been using the word, "paweeze!" Which stands for please. He thinks that if he says please that he will get what he wants. Not in my house buster.

But really, lets be honest. It is pretty cute to see our Nolan boy using his noggin to think up clever ideas. It means he is growing up and exploring his surroundings. I really can't get enough of him. Sometimes I think about how we are in our last days of just the two of us. We only have just under 5 more weeks together. I like my one-on-one time with Nolan. He makes me laugh all day long. Even when he is crazy and throwing temper tantrum after temper tantrum I still love him to death! He is so much like me and so much like Jake that I laugh just thinking about it. I think he got a little too much of my stubbornness. My mom always said that she will get her glory and I think that Nolan is my match. He is a run for my money. But I love him. So there you have it. This is our crazy Nolan boy.
