Mommy and Little Nick

Today mommy and Nick looked at old pictures on the computer. Mommy said, "I don't have a story for your blog today, let's look for some old pictures and make a story from that."

This is a collection of pictures of mommy and Nick, when Nick was little.

Nick's Classmates

Nick is always talking about school and his classmates. He says their names all the time.

In December, Nick's teacher sent home a present, it was a mouse pad with a picture of the entire class. Nick looks at it all the time and says everyone's name.

Today at breakfast Nick was looking at the mouse pad, so mommy took a movie of Nick talking about his class.

Bye Bye Christmas Tree

Nick loves Christmas, and every year he is sad when his Christmas tree is all done.

But this year Nick remembered that in January, the Christmas tree goes outside. Mommy put the date on the calendar so Nick would be prepared. The date mommy picked was January 7.

All week mommy reminded Nick by showing him the calendar.

Yesterday was Saturday January 7. In the morning, mommy gave Nick a note with his schedule for the day. It said that Nick would go to AHRC to play, and when Nick came home the tree would be outside.

When Nick came home he was not sad. He came inside and told mommy "tree outside," and then he played on his computer.

Nick watched YouTube movies with the title Bye Bye Christmas Tree. In one of the movies men were putting trees into a wood chipper. Nick was laughing when he watched the movie. Mommy said, "Wow Nick, you've come a long way!"

Happy New Year!

December is all done. The year 2011 is all done.

Today is January 1, 2012, this is the beginning of the new year 2012.

Every year mommy buys Nick glasses from Times Square in New York City. Today Nick put on his glasses and ran around outside in the beautiful new day.

Mommy said, "Happy New Year Nick" and Nick said the words back to mommy.
