I have to say Nash has become an incredible big brother. He has taken to the role very well and deals with his crazy little brother very well.
He loves doing activities with Asa where he gets to "teach" him how to do it.
SCOUTS: Nash gets to attend 11 year old scouts with Darin each Wednesday night as a way to spend time together with Darin's busy schedule. Nash really thinks he is a scout and part of the big boys. He is constantly asking me if I wish I were a boy so I could be a scout or scout leader. Darin informed him that there are girl scouts and that Grandma Willardson was a scout leader for many years. Nash was very silent after that. He now tells me that he and daddy are real scouts and can teach me anything I need to know to become one. The other night at a scout activity I tried to hold Nash's hand as we were walking in and he told me that he was a scout so he couldn't hold my hand....broke my heart. :(
MUSIC: Nash LOVES music but it has to be "kid music" like Alvin and the Chipmunks, Kids Bop, or his favorite WHAT DOES THE FOX SAY? Darin put the Fox music video on the big screen and Nash went nuts!
He was so mad when I asked him to take a picture...
We have had our fair share of sickness this year. Especially Nash. I don't think he gets enough sleep. We put him to bed at 7:30-8ish and he will wake up sometimes 2-3 times in the middle of the night. Mostly he wants a dream but occasionally he has growing pains in his legs. He wakes up most days anywhere from 5am - 7am. He knows he can not leave his bed until 7am so that has helped out with grumpy mommy sickness!
Nash has REALLY enjoyed his new preschool class. I got to help with the Halloween party and have accompanied him on a few field trips. He really loves his teachers and all the kids in his class...makes my heart swell to see him learning and so happy.
Our neighborhood is the highlight of Nash's life. He waits for his friends to get home from school and is so disappointed if he doesn't get to play. Yesterday the kids were over here and were playing handheld devices. I heard Nash say "can we play with toys please!" Which surprised me since Nash LOVES to play electronics...yay for imagination play!
BUGS: Nash really isn't a fan of bugs up close or crawling around his bathroom and will scream like a little girl and come running. However when find fun bugs like a praying mantis he is all about them!
SPEECH: Nash is receiving speech at preschool and at the hospital. He was recently tested by both and found to have the language skills equivalent to a 3 year old. We have quite a bit of work ahead of us but he is doing so well and we are starting to understand about 90% of what he says.
This was Nash's school picture from his old school. I am SO happy that they will be taking new school pictures this next week at his new school.
Nash is a sweet little boy and is really becoming independent. Most of his friends are girls but he thinks they are gross. I tell him that is great but he has to love me and his baby sister on the way. He told me he would "think about it." When Nash is angry he has started slamming doors (sadly that trait comes from me.), stomping out of the room and saying "I don't want to be near you!" or "I am going to run away!" He is pretty dramatic but all of this drama is usually gone and forgotten within 20 minutes of quiet alone time...thank goodness!
We do love our little dude and I hope he doesn't grow up too fast. :)
