Nathan-isms

I am fascinated to observe how Nathan is slowly developing his language skills. With plans to move to a different country soon (still not sure where), I'm keenly aware of the upcoming challenge of learning a new language (or two or three!). Here's some Nathan-isms from the last couple months and a few cute conversations too.

- P-p-pew = computer
- Mu-mu-mow = tomorrow
- As we head upstairs to get Noelle from her naps, he yells, "I come-come Missy!"
- Sitting on the couch the other morning on a classic overcast NW morning, Nathan and I were talking about the clouds. I asked him, "Nathan, where is the sun?" He said, "Sun westing." (That's resting.)
- Today it's bright and sunny, so he said "Clouds westing."
- One of his favorite foods right now is a "hot god".
- The first national chain that he recognizes is "Stah-bucks." Why you might wonder. Grandpa (Lattin) has initiated a ritual of getting him a hot chocolate when they're together which he calls a "Nathan latte".
- When asked what to say after he gets his "latte", he answered, "thank you... MORE!"
- And now with Thanksgiving and Christmas goodies upon us, Nathan has developed quite a taste for ice cream. He announced in the kitchen the other day, "get more ice cream."
- When he knows his sister has a dirty diaper, Nathan announces "Missy Po-Po."
- And when asked who taught him to pick his nose, he'll answer "Mom" and then..."Dad"and then..."Mom"and then..."Dad". We're still not sure where he picked up the habit.
- In the midst of potty training, he's learned a whole host of new words like "disgusting", "nasty", "ridiculous", "awful"...
- But Jason and I both just melt to hear "I love you." And each morning when he wakes up, he shares who he dreamed about the night before. Mom has a lot of "points" but Dad has some too and just the other day he said Missy.

Who could imagine the joy!?!
