Nevin is growing up so fast that it is getting hard to keep with him and all the things he does. He is constantly talking up a storm (hmmm...I wonder who he gets that from ;)). He mispronounces a lot of things but we don't bother correcting him because we think it sounds cute! He says BALM for barn, MAWNSTER for monster, and says PICK MY UP for "pick me up". He went for his first Disney show, a Mickey Mouse Magic Show at the US Bank Arena, and he loved watching all his favorite toon characters come to life. He was a little overwhelmed at first, but then settled in and enjoyed the show. Nevin is also becoming much better at playing the drums and can hold a pretty steady 4/4 pattern on the high hat and snare. He loves going to his Nana and Nani's place on the weekends and much to our surprise and delight he willingly spent his first night away from us a few weeks ago when he went along with them for a "sleepover" :) - a spontaneous "date night" opportunity for us!
The weather has been great this fall and Nevin loves playing outside on the swing set, kicking the ball and jumping on the neighbor's trampoline. He enjoys going to his daycare a lot and has a lot of fun participating in a variety of activities with his friends. He particularly enjoys his "Webby" dance class where he gets to pretend like being animals from the jungle and the barn. The best way to entertain him on the weekends is to pretend like he is in his dance class at school again with Pooja being the teacher and Nevin and me the students :) His current favorite DVD is "Barnyard" movie with Otis the cow, Pip the mouse and the rest of the animals in the barn. His current favorite songs are "Pichle Saat Dino Me" from the movie Rock On, and "Iktara" from the movie Wake Up Sid. He listens to these two songs in a non stop loop really LOUD as we drive him around. If I try and trick him and lower the volume even a wee bit, he immediately yells LOUDER from the back! He recognizes quite a few songs now and we play a game with him where we hum the tunes and and he tells us which song it is. He also was Superman for Halloween this year, and enjoyed a fun filled Halloween weekend.
Side note; my Nikon D40 fell to ground and the flash unit broke :( I have a Nikon D90 on order, so expect to see a lot more pictures here. Stay tuned!!
