We have been incredibly blessed to have Nate live with us at this time in his life. It is such a super fun stage and we are thrilled that we have been able to experience and share all of these special developmental moments with him. This summer we signed Nate up for swim classes. There is not much they do in swim classes at his age but it gives the children a chance to be comfortable in the water and get used to being in the pool. However, we soon realized that Nate had some hidden fins as he was a swimming machine in his class! He was all over the place and absolutely LOVED being in the water. On the very last day of class he even went down the big slides (once with the teacher and the other time with me) AND also went off the diving board (the teacher and I also helped but he was soooo ready to jump right off whether someone was there or not)! Nate LOVES being outside as the third picture shows. He got some chalk for his birthday and we have spent several moments outside drawing on the driveway. We also are now in the challenging potty-training stage with Nate! We are certainly not pushing it but he has started showing us some interest so we got him a little potty and he has been going on it every once in awhile. He gets a M&M every time he goes on his potty which he really likes that! He is a pretty quick learner though...we were at a friends house this weekend and one of our friends taught Nate how to pee on the side of the house....AND HE DID! Crazy kid. Gotta love boys! He is not fully potty-trained but we will definitely celebrate, and share, when he is! Needless to say, despite the typical-terrible-two-year-old tantrums we love having him with us.
