a music man

Nate loves {music}.

He always has. But recently he has started asking for it.

If we're in the car, he points to the radio and signs more. But he doesn't want the songs on the radio. He wants {Christmas music}. It's a great excuse for me to start listening to it. Whenever a song ends and the next one hasn't started yet, he signs more over and over. One other thing that I love is that he waves his arm in the air, like he's leading the music, while he's listening to it. He learned this move on Sesame Street when Telly leads everyone in a Triangle song. He's lead music like Telly ever since. He even sometimes "waves" his legs, too.

If we're at home, he points to the DVD player which is how I play CD's downstairs. We listen to Christmas music throughout the day while we're playing. He asks for more and more all day long.

I'm glad he loves good tunes!

See the vampire fangs in his hand? His Aunt Sam turned him in to a Twilight lover, too. That was after she taught him to spit in the pool. I guess that's what aunties are for, right? To teach your kids things you don't necessarily want them to know and to give them extra treats when mom isn't looking. I have a feeling he's gonna learn a lot of that stuff from his Aunt Sam over the years. Oh, and he can burp almost as loud as you, Sam. You'll have to keep working on that one.

It was Abbie's 3rd birthday on Saturday & she had a costume party to celebrate. Nate got to be an elephant again!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Abs! I can't believe you're this big already. Love you!
