And Even More Pictures

As par for the course, Nick must do everything that his brother does. So, for the second time that day, he made my jaw drop in surprise as I watched him tenaciously climb up the cargo net.
He kept at it until he figured out where to put his feet, or to use his knees if necessary. Here, he can see the end in sight. His goal is within his grasp.
After making it to the top, he quickly slid down the slide and ran around to go up again. This time, he started climbing up along the outside edge, where the net is much less stable, more wiggly. He had a much harder time. But he got near the top before he fell through the holes. Nanny and I were laughing so hard, as his little legs were dangling, unable to reach the ground. I was trying to get a picture, and each attempt came out a blur as I was laughing so hard I couldn't stop shaking. Meanwhile, Nick is starting to whimper and say, "Please, please, please." He wanted help up. Finally, I got a picture that wasn't a blur and allowed Nanny to help him up.
Grandma Dooley couldn't believe that I would expose this poor child to the cold weather. So I bundled Ethan up extra warmly for her sake. I had to get a picture to prove to her that I would take care of him out in the cold. After all, we live in Alaska; if I couldn't take care of him out in the cold, he would NEVER go out.....and neither would I.
Ethan was getting ready for his first bath. I would have shared the bath pictures, but since the world is as it is, I don't feel comfortable sharing innocent bath pictures in such a public forum. Needless to say, Ethan wasn't exactly happy not to be dressed in warm clothes. Notice Ethan's shirt; it says "Tugging on Grandma's Heart." (ojn\]=l=-' Nick had to say 'hi' while mommy stepped away from the computer.) Anyway, since Nanny got this outfit for Ethan, I thought it only appropriate that he wear it on the last day she was here.
I love this picture! Nick is getting out of the bath, and Daddy styled his hair with the towel. What do you think? Should we style his hair like this everyday?

Ethan is calling....he sounds starving. My goodness, I think it has been three whole hours since he has eaten. How can we be torturing the poor kid this way? (I'm being sarcastic if you couldn't tell.)
Have a great week.
