Boys Will Be Boys

Last Sunday after church we spent the day at my parents house, relaxing and enjoying their Christmas decorations. Alex and Nathan had a great time helping their Paw-Paw with the outside decorations. I think Nathan especially got a kick out of getting to use a real hammer. And ever since, he has been running around beating everything with his play hammer! He also had fun with the ladder. That has been Nathan's big obsession lately. Everytime we leave to go somewhere, he tells me about how Daddy used the big ladder to get onto the house and hang lights. And when we were at Wal-Mart the other day, he had to tell me about how the people use ladders to put the stuff up really high. It seems that every other sentence coming from his mouth is on the subject of ladders. He LOVES ladders! He wants one from Santa, but we've told him that he can't have a ladder until he is big like Daddy. Maybe Santa can bring him a fire engine with a ladder...
