Little Monkey

I had not seen Nathan in about a week.  He had been gone on a trip with his family and before they returned we left town.  He was anxious to get to the sandbox and immediately yelled to me....."Grandma, Grandma - take my picture."

 

 Then I tried to capture the dimples, but he didn't really smile for me here.

Since this was an unplanned sleep-over, I had to search for sleepwear.  There was none to be found....not even a T-shirt his size.  I pulled this knit shirt from the drawer and he was so excited...he jumped for joy....yes, yes he wanted to wear it.  He loved the monkey on the front.  He loved it so much he cried the next morning when his mom came to pick him up and she wanted him to put on his shorts and shirt for VBS.  He melted and cried to keep it on.  Katie is such a patient, and laid-back mom.  I wish I could learn from her.  Lest you think he is spoiled and should not be given his way all the time( well, maybe he is) but, ....he was willing to change when they got to the church.  Momma knows the little guy pretty well.
