Tushies Tushies Everywhere

So, each evening Nathan chooses a few books for story-time before night-night.  Normally we read books like, "Good Night Moon", "The Pokey Little Puppy", etc.  Tonight's choices were...."The Tooshy Book" (Thanks Auntie Stacey) and "Bible Promises for Mom".  In the interest of not discouraging Nathan from exploring his religion or making choices in general, we went with it.

We started out with the Tooshy book.  Pretty funny stuff.  "Every Tooshy's in the back", "Every Tooshy has a crack!" Those are actual lines from the book, I kid you not.  

After reading the book, I asked Nathan where his tooshy was.  He replied "Im my toy room".  I think we need to read it few more times.

As for the bible promises, after an hour or so, he got a little lost in the Psalms so we ended for the evening, but, it was his choice, so we'll be back to it tomorrow night.

Last night, Daddy was still working, so it was another fun Mommy and Nathan night.  So I felt a good past-time would be to let Nathan make some play dough creations.  Little did I know he would be putting my skills to the test.  His first request was that I make him a snake (remember he likes to build things that look like snakes so he can later pretend they are eating mommy).  I felt like a champ when I made the most perfect white snake ever.  He decided to up the ante and see if I could pull through with a frog.  It was a little more challenging, but,

he was psyched when the little green amphibian was looking at him 5 minutes later.  Now, as he asked me to make the car, I could see him starting to mock me.  It resembled a car, but, he didn't think it was good enough. "It needs more windows, mommy".  This wasn't going so well anymore.  He was finally satisfied with the warped car.  But, then he

 pulled out the big guns.  I want a castle mommy!"  I told him I didn't think I could, but he insisted I try.  Well, really, he yelled at me and threw the snake at me to remind me of the wrath of the snake and I got molding.  Lucky for me by the time I got the play dough out for the castle, he decided cutting each finely molded animal and car into a zillion pieces with a butter knife would be more fun.

On to bath time...

Nathan likes to draw wonderful tub-side art.  But, most of the time, he asks us to identify what the drawing is.  Kind of like a test.  This time was no different.  "Mommy, what is this a "tit-ure" of? (picture in Nathan language)".

Now, look closely at red scribble-like image at the top left hand corner of the bath tub.  Do you know what that is supposed to be a tit-ure of?  Well, I

 sure don't.

After guessing that is was Daddy, Mommy, a cow or a snake, he finally gave in and told me what it was supposed to be.  Apparently, it's supposed to be a horsey.  I guess I need to start wearing my glasses more often.
