Thoughts from the world of Nicholas

Sam-"Natalie why are you making cookies? It's 11:30, just make lunch."
Me-"Oh, that's true. Nick what do you want for lunch?"
Nicholas-"Oh mom, Daddy doesn't know what he's talking about. We need to make cookies!"


Nicholas and I went to tour an Elementary School today to see if we want him to go there for kindergarten next year. While sitting in the office waiting to meet with the principle, Nicholas noticed 2 older boys waiting to talk to the secretary. He looked up at the first with big eyes and said "Wow! Your a big kid!", eyes even wider... "Do you run FAST?" The kid looked at him weird and the quietly said "yes". Nick then looked at the next boy and said "You're a big kid too! Do you run fast?" Another weird look with a quiet "yes". Nicholas loved the idea of going to school with big kids who could run FAST!

Weren't you a track addict? I seem to remember in 1998 when we were at Candy and Dales for the 4th of July and you were telling...someone?... that you really needed to go for a run. I commented about how you didn't have the right shoes on to run (You had on 2 and a half inch heeled penny loafer looking shoes, that were bright white, that you got for 5 bucks and were so pleased with your find). You insisted that your shoes were no obstical and went running with some dude that Johns family was housing and had come along. So You see, Not only will you have a runner, you will have a runner who is as crazy as you were!
Love mandie

I think they may have even been over three inches, now that i think back at how tall they made you.

And Nicky-poo is right about the cookie thing...you know what they say, out of the mouths of babes.
