Saturday morning, Dad and Miles bonded through a little athletic activity. Nate would throw a little blue ball across the living room and then send Miles across the room to retrieve it. Without any additional instruction, Miles brought the ball right back, only to have to repeat the task again. Yes – Nathan and Miles were playing fetch….. for nearly 1 hour!
Before you get mad at Nate for treating your grandson/nephew/buddy like a puppy – please keep in mind that Miles REALLY enjoyed the attention and exercise! Miles not only got to play with his dad, he got a big manly bear hug every time the ball was returned, and he got to show off his walking and picking-stuff-up-while-standing skills. We thought that he was talented last week, but you should see him now!!
Later that afternoon, we all went to the grocery store together. I spotted one of the grocery carts that have a purple and yellow car attached! We got it and Miles Loved it!! There is a ‘floor’ to the car so we didn’t have to worry about any foot/ankle injuries. We did, however, have to keep a close eye on Miles. He kept using the steering wheels to help him stand up and get a better view. Apparently he thought he was sailing a ship, not steering a car. Silly boys – they know how to take something new and exciting and make it borderline dangerous! I let Nate harness the bundle of testosterone while I gathered the groceries we needed. Nate didn’t seem to mind. Both of my boys enjoyed this shopping trip!!
Final story – I promise! We got Miles all dressed up for church this morning. Cute isn’t he?!
Miles still knows how to get into trouble – even on the Sabbath! He’s caught mid-act!! Uh-oh!
On the way back from church, Nate spotted a white 12 passenger van in his side mirror that seemed to be staring at us. When they passed us, we stared back (a little) and saw that they had Iowa (Polk county) license plates. They were the first Iowa plates he had seen out here since we moved in May! Yeah for Iowa!
It’s a little easier not to miss Iowa knowing that they have snow and we still don’t. I’m just not ready for the super cold weather to hit yet!
