Nate's Day

Saturday while Emma and Abby were at work with Jake, Nate enjoyed a day all to himself. He had a relaxing morning at home that consisted of staying in his pj's until 1:00pm, eating a HUGE breakfast (two bowls of oatmeal and one bowl of Lucky Charms all within an hour!), playing with whatever toys he wanted, eating lunch and taking a nap. After our fun morning at home, we went on an adventure to a play date with new friends. My good friend Sarah invited us over for an afternoon with her boys, Julian and Cole. Julian is the same age as Nate and Cole is a year and a half old. It was such a fun afternoon! It took Nate quite awhile to warm up to his new playmates (I think he was a little lost not having his sisters with him) but he finally got comfortable. By the time we left, he didn't want to go! They had an exciting afternoon playing with Buzz Lightyear and Woody, Spider-Man, Superman, cars and trucks, jumping on a mini trampoline, and play dough. But their favorite game they played with was this box...

I love how the simplest things can entertain and make kids happy! It was a great day with our new friends and Nate can't wait to go back. He said next time he wants to bring his sisters along to meet his new friends:)

I'm so glad we had this opportunity to give Nate a day to himself. He is a very different kid when he is alone. He has a lot to say (and actually has the chance to be heard), is very bright, imaginative and self sufficient.
This day went so well, that we think we are going to start giving each of the kids a day all to themselves every once in awhile. We'll have to wait and see what the next adventure will be!
