This boy

I can't get enough of this kid. People keep asking how Nathan is dealing with Vivian, and I have to say, he's doing pretty great. There have definitely been a few moments where Vivian is fussing and he doesn't love the fact that she's getting my attention, but more often than not, her fussing prompts him to say, "Viv's crying, hug her" or "Viv's crying, pat her, Mom." Such a sweet boy.

I would say one of Nathan's defining characteristics is his love of goofiness. He's constantly ready to tease, joke, and generally be silly. Nonsense is the best sense for this kid. In the middle of a meltdown if you start coming up with wild reasons why he may be upset, 70% of the time he'll start laughing and we can restore balance. Thus, dinosaurs have slept in his bed, birds are stealing his shoes, and baby mice have gotten under his shirt.

Also, he, like every other child I've known, loves putting on his parents shoes and has recently expanded into our clothes when I'm folding laundry.
