I Will Do it Myself!

Every morning Nathan wants to go play in the back yard. And every morning I tell him I have to go scoop the poop first. So this morning he wanted to go outside. I told him I had to go get dressed and then I would go scoop the poop. When I came down this is where I found him. He had gone and gotten the scooper and was in the very back part of the yard scooping the poop himself.I guess this is what happens when you are the third child in a busy family. You learn to just do it your self!

We bought Nathan a slide for the back yard and like all children he has spent many more hours playing with the huge box that it came in. He does really enjoy the slide he loves being out side and climbing the rock wall to get up, but the boxs has become the best gift ever. Jacob and Nathan lay in the box and color with markers on the walls. It has become their club house. Nathan loves it when Jacob is home to play with him but is fine to be out there for a long time by his self coloring away.

This morning Nathan wanted to help me feed the dogs. He loves to use the scoop and put it in their bowls. When I left to go give them their food I said,"keep it in there" meaning to not dump it on the floor. When I came back this is what I found.

His look said to me, "well you said keep it in."
