My Boy

Some of my favorite photos of N. growing up.
He will be 7 in August and in 1st grade.

You will see that he was quite fond

of his pacifier past age 2.

Yikes!

I think we finally gave them all to the dogs to destroy before age 3,

N. HATED that!

N. is standing on the bathroom vanity brushing his teeth, of course wearing his policemans' hat!! Doesn't everyone brush their teeth that way? N's Aunt Sue bought him these jammies. He wore them until he couldn't force his body into them anymore, he loved them so much! You may also notice his tummy bulging out...he used to carry toys inside his jammies like a pocket!!

 I painted the ivy on the medicine cabinet and the faux bricks on the wall.

Did you know that Superman did water color paints?
N wore this t-shirt until he grew so much he could barely manage to move while it was somehow shimmied onto his body. Then when we managed to find a bigger sized identical one, he insisted it needed to have the cape I had sewn on to the original one transferred onto the larger sized shirt.

This is one of our wooden doll houses.

I bought it at a sale for cheap. I painted it and furnished it.

I loved that he had his construction shirt on and holding his matching toy.

He fell asleep playing!

Farmer N. preparing his soil!

Each year each of the 3 kids would have their own garden plot. They would choose their vegetable plants at the greenhouse and tend the garden all summer from planting -weeding-watering-harvest. Most years, along with their favorite crop, they would choose a vegetable that they had never raised before.

Silly things happen when you only have sisters!

I painted the kid size chairs.

Smiles all around!
