The Cute and the...Repetitive?

When Nolan was tiny, my mother was taking care of my nephew, Aaron.  Aaron was quite attached to his Nana, and was very jealous of anyone else having her attention.

At one point, Mom was holding Nolan and Aaron decided he didn't want that AT ALL.  He walked up to her, and in a very indigndant 2-year-old voice, told her in no uncertian terms, "Baby down, NOW!"

Fast forward 4 years to Aaron's sixth birthday party.  Nolan is now the older cousin, with Aaron's little brother Kasen at 5 months old.  Mom was holding Kasen, and Nolan wanted some Nana attention.  So he walked up to Mom and told her, "Put the baby down!"

Funny how history repeats itself, isn't it?

Learn Something New Every Day

Such as, people who are allergic to either pistachios or cashews are often allergic to the other.  There's a good article at CalgaryAllergy to read on tree nut allergies.  Just click the title of this post.

We discovered this tonight when Nolan ate a Pistachio and immediately his lips puffed up like a fish.  NOT fun.  His poor mother is still shaking.

Nolan has had Benadryl and is now bouncing off the walls.  I think it will be a long night.

Nolan at the Christmas Program

Nolan loves to play with Ethan; here they are at the Christmas Program. First, they sat and watched, then they danced in the aisles. Later, they sat on Santa's lap (I have it on good authority that the ancient Santa costume SMELLS REALLY BAD.) and told him what they wanted for Christmas.

Taking the Ranger for a Ride

Jerry got the tracks on his crew, so he and Nolan went and busted some drifts!
