Can you believe it is May...time for more Nichols nonsense!

I know it has been a while since I updated and I am sure that I will be able to come up with lots to tell you. We have a busy month. The kids continue to amaze us with everything that they do and say.

For example: Little Walter is now fascinated with everyone that is different than him...meaning Mommy, and I think you know what I am getting at. He is already asking TONS of questions, pointing LOTS, and Daddy only helps to explain in the most inappropriate way of course. What more do you say about a really curious little boy....isn't it going to be fun. He also very fascinated with your nose and the things in it. He has had a stuffy nose for the past few days and we have taught him to blow his nose. He thinks that is really cool and says "let me see my booger". Gross I know, but he is all boy. Today we were sitting at the breakfast table and he got down on the floor face to face with the dog and says, "Mommy, Molly has a booger." GREAT! So I reply with "Thank you for telling me Walter, but please don't touch it." What in the world??
He is getting so big and chatting more and more everyday. Still sassy like his sister. He has begun to say the blessing with us when we eat, trying to say what Sissy says..it is very sweet. He may be a boy, but he does have a really sweet side. He now just comes up to you for no reason and tells you that he loves you and gives you a hug. No matter what he says, a hugs and I love you from a 2yr old makes up for everything.

Ann Elizabeth is doing great. She loves school and has made really sweet friends. She did have a rough week this week. She had a splinter in her heel that needed to be removed. It has been there for about 3 months, and we didn't realize it. We knew that she had gotten a splinter from our hardwood floors, but we thought we had gotten it all. Evidently we didn't. She started to get a knot on her heel and it began to hurt. Our ped. said to just let it work its way out, our ER MD friend said that it should come out and our Dermatologist said that it should come out.....but.....no one would touch it. They knew that it was going to be tough. So, they sent us to a podiatrist of all people. We told her all about it and tried to warn her about the pain (ie shot in the foot). She did great once her foot was numb and wanted to watch them take the splinter out. Being just like her mother, she asked if she could take the splinter with her to "show it off". They put it in a nice specimen cup and off to school she went with it. Needless to say it has been the topic of conversation around here, and everyone she sees has to see the splinter and hear the story about it. Hopefully she will be a nurse one day...she sure has the curiosity for it!

Enough for now, I don't want to bore you......lator gators!
