A New Game Nathan Can Play

We love living so close to our kids. Tonight before heading over to my dad's house for his 76th birthday, we stopped in Angie's neighborhood and joined the boys and Angie for a walk around the block. (Laura and her Dad had gone to a movie) Nathan is a great walker now. When we got back to their home, Janene and Sam were playing a game with Ben in the stroller. Janene would push the stroller from the top of the driveway and when Ben got going pretty fast, then I would catch him. Ben would scream and then laugh his head off. Pretty soon Sam was helping too and both boys were having a great time. I had been holding Nathan so he couldn't get away and had to let go of him once to catch the stroller. He went up to Janene, took the stroller from her and started doing exactly what she had been doing - pushing the stroller and then bringing the stroller back up the hill. We had a blast! How exciting it is to see Nathan beginning to learn some things. He can now say "Grandpa!" pretty much on command, and he can identify shapes like squares and triangles at school. Pretty awesome if you ask me.
