I heard the term "Wear Bear" for the first time last night from one of my partners. He said that's a nickname for kids who wear on you. He said sometimes that he prays his daughter will be silent for just two minutes to give his ears a rest.
Of course this was all said with affection but it made me wonder if I shouldn't be wishing that Nathan will start talking. He speaks his own language of coos and giggles constantly. I love listening to him on the baby monitor when he wakes.
Nathan has learned how to give kisses and to blow kisses. Unfortunately, because he is two, once he learns something he decides not to do it anymore because he can. At least I was able to get a picture of him with his Nana blowing kisses.
Nathan has started pointing at things he wants. His aim is not always good so he dissolved into tears when I guess the wrong thing that he wants but when I get it right, he squeals with laughter. Sometimes when he is fussy, I can say, "Show Mama what you want" and he will lead me to his high chair or to the refrigerator. Lately, he has been leading me to the garage where the car lives. He doesn't like being cooped up in the house for eight days while we are working. He loves when we are off work because we are always going places.
Nathan's life is about to change because he will start daycare next week. We think he will really enjoy it since he loves to be out so much. I switch to dayshift next week so my life is about to change as well but change is good!
