Snowy day 5/20

One thing you learn as a parent of a toddler is that quiet is not necessarily a good thing.  In our house, it usually means someone is up to something.  In this case it was Nathan, and the baby powder.  When asked, "Nathan, what are you doing?!" his response was that he was making it a "snowy day".   I'm still trying to get all the baby powder wiped off those toys.

5/19 Soccer Game

We kept Nathan home from his first soccer game because he still had a pin in his finger.  So it fell out on it's own in time for the second game.  A couple of pictures:

 His shirt is just a tad big :)

 Nathan's first game was also picture day.  This turned out to be a disaster because it was less than organize and there was a lot of standing around and waiting.  Add in that Nathan hadn't napped that day and was tired before it even began.  It's no wonder it wasn't a stellar first time on the field.

Well, you're looking at the one and only time Nathan stepped on the field.  Shortly after this picture was shot he came running of the field and refused to go back.  He was tired and it was a new thing, so I understand.  It really surprised me though.  I figured he' have a great time.  Oh well, we'll keep trying.  He does great at practice so I'm thinking he'll eventually warm up to the idea of playing in a game.  Only time will tell...

5/16

On the 16th of May, Nathan got to have the big bandage and splint take off his hand and had only this small wrap.

Stitches out!

First, I'd like to apologize for being SO behind getting pictures posted.  I'll try and get caught up soon.  

Anyway, the reason for my post...Nathan's stitches are out!  He had a dr's appointment today and they took out his stitches.  He was a little champ and didn't complain.  He has to wear a band-aid on it for a couple of week to make sure the old nail doesn't get torn off until the new one underneath gets a chance to start growing in.  A couple of pictures from today:

Waiting for the Dr.  

No more bandage, just a band-aid now!

Our little soccer player

Nathan had his first soccer practice tonight.  He had a blast! :)

 Pretty cool action shot

I love the grin on his face here.  He was having so much fun.

Helping Mommy do some digging

Blue!

In the ongoing saga of Nathan's finger...we went to the pediatrician to get some help rewraping it.  Nathan was quite impressed that they used blue tape on the outside. 

Painting

Yesterday's painting project.  We used matchbox cars.

Street Sweeper

This morning's excitement: The street sweeper!

Finger

Nathan had a check-up on his finger today and it's healing nicely.  I wasn't prepared to see the pin sticking out of the end of his finger, but the finger was pink and looked good.  The doctor wrapped it back up along with the rest of his arm to the elbow, and he keeps that on for 2 more weeks.  When we go back, he gets the pin and stitches taken out.
