Nathan Says

I'm pretty excited for this post. We are moving from a list of things that Nathan can say to actual cute things he does with the English language.

Cottage quotes:
"dang it!" - as he swept bugs off the boat.
"turn it, like this" (complete with hand motions) - trying to get one of the flashlights to work

He tends to use "you" when he really means "me," so he'll ask me to "hold you," During bedtime I list all of the people who love him. While he worked on falling asleep, we would overhear him saying, "Mama love you, Daddy love you, Nonnie love you, Viv love you, Pop Pop love you, Nathan love you..."

Other quotes

"Plants are crying" - talking about the flowers after he waters them

"Cherries snuggling" - looking at the cherry pits in a bowl

He also knows all of the words to a few different songs, especially Five Little Monkeys and Ba Ba Black Sheep. Periodically he will just rattle the whole thing off when he thinks no one is paying close attention. I love this. I tried to get him doing it at dinner one night, but he was too aware of the camera. I'm not sure what he was doing with his finger in his mouth...

He also is a fan of pretending to pump and then feeding his milk to Viv. I find it hilarious and sweet. He'll be appalled in 15 years that I documented that.
