Bees

This week has been pretty uneventful so far...other than Nolan getting stung by a sweat bee (he handled it quite well). He had just stepped outside to get in the truck to go to Wal-Mart with Matt, when the bee flew right down the back of his shirt. It stung him 4 or 5 times. He cried a little, and I offered for him to stay with me, but he still wanted to go with Daddy of course. By the time they returned, you couldn't even see the marks anymore.

Our neighbor Matt let some fireworks off the other night (Natalie in bed once again). At first, Nolan was scared...we were inside, and I told him we could go outside and see. Matt was on his back deck throwing fireworks off it....and then Nolan became very excited. Next thing we knew, Matt was hollering for Nolan to come out front. He gave him some Snappers (the little "fireworks" you throw on the ground and pop). He really enjoyed these though it created quite a mess afterwards.

Natalie is trying to speak a little more now. She is beginning to say "no" and is imitating the things that Nolan says (but very inaudible). She is definitely a child to do things in her own time...I guess we should have seen this coming since she did keep her umbilical cord for 13 weeks!!!

On a side note, Nolan has quite a large vocabulary, but still gets a little confused sometimes. Now, after he brushes his teeth, he asks if we would like to smell his brain!
