We're not ready for this...

Nathan is obsessed with hotels. He remembers every detail about the ones we've stayed in...which floor we stayed on, what stores were nearby, and (most importantly) what kind of pool they had. Since we decided not to drive home from Springfield Saturday night, he wanted to stay in the Doubletree that Renee and Aaron stayed in with the indoor/outdoor pool. Now he's remembering details of hotels we haven't even stayed in!

The pool was small and the water was pretty cold even though it was supposed to be heated, but Nate loved it anyway.
Yesterday morning, a couple of girls joined us in the pool. They were sisters, probably about 7 and 9. The older one swam under and started a "conversation" with Nathan:

Older girl: How old are you?

Nathan: 6.

(Girl swims back out, chats and giggles with little sis, then swims back in.)

Older girl: When are you going to be 7?

Nathan: Next month.

(Girl swims back out. More chatting and giggling.)

Later, they invited Nathan to come swim with them. He reluctantly agreed, and I took a quick picture while he wasn't looking.

  2. Yesterday, our 3-year old neighbor wanted Lydia to sit right next to him in the big chair. A few minutes later, he comes into the kitchen & says, "Me and Lydia did a hug." He was so happy. I wasn't quite sure how to respond. Mercy.
