Nicholas

Our little 1 1/2 year old.

Captured these cute pictures at bedtime.  What a little cutie!

He looks all innocent and sweet but he can tear apart a room in 10 seconds flat.  He is the only one of our kids that has written on the walls and I find marks all over, all the time.  I guess that is because he has older sisters and a brother who have markers and crayons and pencils that are more accessible.  They try to keep them put away (well most of the time) but he some how finds them.

He loves to be outside.  Luckily we have a fenced in backyard so I can watch him out the window while I am in the kitchen cooking dinner or doing the dishes.  Well, one day I look out the window to find this.  He had found the hole that the kids had dug in our garden area.  It had rained hard the night before so it was full of water so I guess it looked inviting to climb in, shoes and all.

Since he was already in we decided to just let him play for a while and he had a ball.  When it was time to get out he was not happy.  I didn't get a good picture of that.

He has a very nice dad.  I was ready to go get the hose and spay him down but Alan had already gone inside and gotten him a bucket full of warm water.  We just took his shoes, socks and pants off and plopped him in.  He thought that was pretty great and played in it for a while.
