Television...

Since there has been a whole lot of this going on....

There has been WAY to much of this going on....
Sadly the TV has been our babysitter as of late because of all the construction chaos!
The white thing under his tires is a pillow. We have not moved our furniture into the house yet since we are going to redo the floor and we are painting. I put pillows down in front of the TV to mark the correct distance Nash should be sitting at while watching TV. He would love to be right up next to the TV, pointing at everything that pops up. He is such a good boy and is obeying the pillow rule as he has placed his car on top of the pillow. (Given the pillow is a little closer then usual). I am heard saying "NASH, PILLOWS!" many time during the day to remind him to move back from the TV.

He is pretty creative on where he watches the TV. If I am painting upstairs he wants to be by me, so he watches the TV from the loft area.

Don't worry I am limiting the amount of TV he is watching. I try to work for about an hour then stop and play for an hour or until he is occupied doing something else and I can begin again. He has been so good but the poor little guy is starving for more activity and interaction! Yesterday, I decided it was just to hot to be working and we needed to go to the river. I forgot my camera but it was so fun and the water felt AMAZING! It will be nice when everything is done and we can get back to a normal routine, including MORE trips to the river!

When Nash makes his mind up to do something he has to do it! On many occasions it is Nash and I for dinner as Darin has to work. Nash decided that he didn't want to eat at the dinner table and quietly got down from his chair pulled his plate with him and walked carefully to the back door. He then started yelling "out, mama OUT!" I guess he wanted to have a picnic on the deck. I am so happy he is providing some of the entertainment and fun, because I am just a bit tired these days. Such a helpful and thoughtful little guy! :)

I am loving our house! It is so fun being able to pick colors for the walls and make it OUR own home. When we complete a room I will post pictures with the before and after to show our progress. :) Right now it is mostly me doing all the work because Darin is busy at the hospital. I love doing projects like this, and occasionally I will get Darin on the latter to tape the high ceilings.
