Last weekend we headed to Columbia to watch the Missouri Tigers take on the Georgia Bulldogs in basketball. Of course Nate wore a Tigers shirt, of course. And the Tigers won handily but I know Scott enjoyed seeing the other 3 Georgia fans that were in attendance.
We did get snow this week, and obviously since the temperature hasn't been much over 10 degrees, it is still on the ground. Scott took pity on my OCD yesterday and washed my car. The windows and locks were frozen this morning, but it was worth it to have the cleanest car at Wal-Mart.Nate helping Scott clear away snow. He loves snow of course.
We got a new stove this week - our Christmas present for the house. Nate was bored, a recurring theme at our house these days (despite all the stimulating toys and games we just got for Christmas and birthday). Funny how that happens.
Nate had his 4-year well checkup on Friday. He weighs 36 lbs and is 41 1/2 inches tall. Miraculously, we have not been to the pediatrician since his last well visit, a year ago. I know, I know, unheard of, but what can I say? He is a very well kid. Must get that from Scott. Anyway, I loved a conversation that the pediatrician and I had while Nate was drawing a picture of me at her request.
Looking at her checklist...
Dr. A: And you are limiting his exposure to TV?
Me: Um....yes...I mean, every day that it is above 8 degrees outside.
Dr. A (with half a smile): Well, try not to relax those rules too much.
Me: Um...ok...(in my head...WHATEVER)
That was a long story to say that we went to Target after the doctor and I told Nate he could get a treat for being so good and letting them prick his finger for a lead test. He chose this foam sword and WOW, I need to remember that many items on the $1 aisle give long-lasting enjoyment.
The robe completes the ensemble - he had to have some place to put his sword so he could draw it and say "Arghhh...matey"
Stay warm!
