Around the House with NCL
March 16, 2010 Nicholas 1 CommentI don’t think this post will really “flow” — but, I have a ton of fun/cute/everyday/random pictures of NCL I wanted to post, so I will just start posting and see if anything comes to mind.
Joe bought these ‘tools’ for NCL a long time ago at the Parent Swap Meet (I think he paid $1 for an entire bag of tools). NCL LOVES the pliers and recently he has been interested in “working on things.” One afternoon, he decided he needed to work on his oil truck (just like Daddy does in the garage).
NCL successfully gets Daddy’s shoes on and goes for a “walk” (it only lasted 2 steps).
One of NCL’s favorite books “The Goodnight Train”
We borrowed Aunt Patty/Uncle David’s pick-up truck last weekend so we could furniture shop (I am SO excited! We found a used dresser for NCL’s room on craigslist and it’s absolutely PERFECT in there. When we are done with the room, I will take pics and post them.)
Anyway, we had the pick-up at the house and NCL was SOOOO excited to stand in the bed of the truck. I mean, you would have thought it was Christmas morning. He was dancing back there and yelling – huge smiles. It was super cute (this kid is ALL boy!)
Bath Time for Nicholas is a highlight. As most of you know, this kid loves Nemo and ANYKIND of marine life. He especially loves sharks.
There is NO DOUBT that the best .99 cents we EVER spent was on this bag of cheap, Chinese made fish/sharks/octopus. I am not kidding that it was .99 cents (we went to a cheap store before flying to Buffalo for Christmas and picked up stuff to give NCL on the plane. This bag of “fish” was one thing we found and didn’t think much of it at the time).
3 months later – and NCL loves all the sharks, fish and octopus. You would think they are part of our family.
*Angie Pizz – here is another one for you
And, actually – this picture is ALL about Buffalo (I just realized). Monster towel from Aunt Angie AND Joe is wearing his Sabres shirt from Mary and Grant.
These LaGreca boys are just so darn cute.
Below, you will see – we have a new location for the train tracks (this was last week). The livingroom has been transformed into “Grand Center Station.” NCL spends a lot of time on the tracks. We had to pick up the tracks last week because the cleaner was coming on Thursday… BUT….don’t worry, a NEW and IMPROVED track has been constructed in the livingroom. I am pretty sure that will be the last time I get on the floor and build tracks while this baby is still in my belly. Daddy will have to engineer and build the next one.
Yesterday, I got home from work and NCL was napping (it was 5:30pm). He didn’t nap at preschool and he wasn’t feeling well. I just had to take a picture of him in his big boy bed.
And finally – tonight’s picture. Mary & Grant – this one is JUST for you
I sure do love having a little boy in the house. Yes, it’s crazy. Yes, it’s loud. Yes, there are a lot of crashes/accidents/bruises. But, I wouldn’t change it for ANYTHING. I honestly can’t remember what our house was like without Nicholas. This might sound strange – but when he is napping on the weekend (IF I can get him to nap) — after awhile, I actually miss him. I know he is in his room and I am busy doing a ton of other things, but I find myself thinking about him and wondering when he will wake up because I miss him. That sounds crazy, right? I guess I just can’t help it. He is a fun kid to be around.
