I am sure that you have seen those commercials that Microsoft has recently been running to combat those Apple commercials. Well Nathan love commericals. They are active and interesting and he would rather watch commercials than regular shows. A few weeks ago he asked me if he was a PC or a Mac? I explained to him that meant what kind of computer that he worked on. So he brought me his toy laptop and asked me if it was a mac or pc - which made me giggle. I told him that me and daddy were pc's so he was a pc too. I told him that his Aunt TT was a mac and then he asked me about the rest of the family. We had to go through everybody - Nana, Papa, PoPo, Lolli, Pop, Uncle David, Becky...Anyone close to him he needed to know. A few days later while we were watching TV again the commercial came on and he informed us that he was three and he was a PC and then he went through everyone that we had talked about a few days before and listed out their "category"! I am so jealous of his memory and love his interest.
The funniest encounter that we have had recently was in the park. Nathan and I walked down to the park one afternoon while we were waiting for Adam to head to the store. We had been playing for about 30 minutes when I spotted two young Mormon men beelining through the grass to talk to me. I pushing Nathan on the swing and wondered how I was going to graceful explain to them that I was not interested in their information. As they walked up they said "hi ma'am, how are you today." Before I could say a word, my son peers over his shoulder while swinging and says to the young men, "I already voted for John McCain." I was shocked, but had to laugh. The Friday before, his Nana had taken him down to the polls and voted. He had questioned her about what they were voting for and had compared it to voting for America's Got Talent :-). Back to the park...I explained to the young men that his grandmother had taken him to vote. They approved of his voting choice and then proceeded to ask me about my beliefs. About that time, Adam arrived and I politely got out of the conversation, but it will be something that I treasure forever. I took Nathan with me to vote and he told the poll assistant that we were not going to vote for Barack Obama...again total shocker.
On Halloween, Nathan was a firefighter and we decorated the trunk of my car for our churches Trunk 'R Treat in the fire truck theme. We had such an amazing time. Nathan went around to all of the trunks to trick or treat and especially liked the Little Mermaid trunk. When we got home on Halloween night we dumped his very full pumpkin out on the table to dig through all of his candy and we find a rock amidst all the candy. I asked who gave him a rock and he said that he got it at the Mermaid's car. I remember this very shiny rock being part of her decor. I said, "Did you pick this up and put it in your pumpkin?" he said, "Ya Mom, just like Charlie Brown." I love him!!!!
He is amazing and wonderful and a bright shining light in my everyday life. Thank you for letting me share him with you.
