I haven't been shy about my poem writing skills.
Nor have I held back bragging about the poems Gary writes for me.
But did you know that our poem writing genes have been passed down to our son Nolan?
I present to you one of his poems.
...Oh
by Nolan
He couldn't see her face
Just the back of her head
He knew she was beautiful
And that's all that needed to be said
He wanted to talk to her
But he was too scared
He wanted to call to her
But he never dared.
Just to see her face!
It would be so grand
And he just knew
It would not be bland.
He finally gained the courage
'cause he was as curious as could be
And only her face
Was what he wanted to see.
He roughly cleared his throat
And peeped out an "excuse me"
And then she turned around
But SHE was a HE!
Nolan wrote this last year as a school assignment. Thanks to said school assignment I have a whole book of poems by Nolan. This one was for sure my favorite. It was inspired by the school uniforms that our school system implemented last year that made the whole student body androgynous (which I think is awful). I remember hearing Nolan and Wes talk about how it's made it harder to know sometimes if you are looking at a dude or not. Now some may argue that THAT is the point but hello.... then there is reality.
I absolutely positively cannot, (cannot!) get enough pictures or video of my new nephew!
My sister posts them on her (private) blog. (sorry guys)
She posts them on our (private) family site. (sorry again)
And she sends them to me via text. And I reply, "Aw! SO cute! More! More!"
It's amazing how he's so little and yet she just puts a camera up to him and he knows how to be cute. He just..... does.
Like this video of cute baby Judson-
I watched this over and over.
Then I showed it to Gary.
Then I wanted my own baby (which I still ask for daily) to video and show the world.
Then Gary said no (which he still says daily) and I decided I must make do with what I have.
I took my camera and put it up to one of my babies to see what he'd do.
Yeah... No.
It just doesn't work like that- it's just not the same.
On this day, 17 years ago (seventeen!) My Nolan was born.
His story of getting here was a lot like Wesley's, except the doctors starving part. The doc's would try to induce in the morning and send me home in the afternoon to see where it would go. They did that for several days in a row before I ended up, again, with a c-section.
Born at 9 pounds 5 ounces and seriously... only 19 inches long... he was a shorty chubster. With the biggest head I ever saw on a baby.
We took him home and watched him grow..
And grow....
And grow...
And grow...
Chubbier and Cuter by the day.
Then toddling had this amazing slimming effect...
And the beautiful (yes, beautiful!) little boy with the curly hair got a hair cut..
And he became a little 'man'....
A little man that loved to play in the snow...
Who could fall asleep anywhere
And cry anywhere too...
But let's not dwell on that....
The cute chubster that we called Rollin' Nolan, and Nolie Olie has become quite the comic creator
Comedian-
And as we all know, movie maker (more to come some day....)
Happy Birthday my Nolan!
*You may have noticed I have two of (almost) the same blog entries below.
VOX totally was acting up yesterday and wouldn't let me edit or delete
the first one. The last paragragh on the more recent post was what I intended
to have posted.
Nolan & Rae
Rae & Nolan
They are a comical brother/sister combo. And a sharing and caring duo.
They like to share seats
Sometimes they share the exact same spot.
They share hair help
They love movie making.
(as seen before)
(Nolan- making and acting. Rae- just acting)
They aren't so great though, at sharing food. Sometimes they resort to sneaking the food with a "Look! A pink power ranger!"
Although there was a day when if Rae had a sucker....
and Nolan didn't....
Rae would share.
I'm so glad I caught this on film.
I don't know why they don't do that anymore.
I really need to talk to them about sharing suckers like they used to.
:-D
