According to just about every little boy in the 2-4 age range at least, and probably beyond (I don’t know I haven’t got that far yet).  Every thursday morning Nolan hears the familiar loud sound of the garbage truck in our neighborhood and gets very excited to go watch. It’s probably the one time the garbage truck guy feels like he does something cool for a living.  Being raised in this family, I’m pretty sure Nolan will always feel that hard labor is something to be respected and looked up to, since his father is the perfect example of this.  Thank you hunny for working so hard to support our family.  It ain’t easy in this day and age- while I haven’t treasured every single moment that I could be here to raise my son at home (especially moments in his first year when that little baby made me feel like I was going mad) I have treasured most of them.  It’s something I wouldn’t trade for anything- the value I feel it has for Nolan’s life is unmeasurable.

The other saturday Ben and I were…..tired.  It was a good day to stay home and be low key.  Ben came home with a special treat for Nolan- playdoh!  Mmmm….got to smell that wonderful playdoh smell again- it’s awesome- where did they come up with this playdoh smell and how did they accomplish it?  Nothing else smells like it and its the smell of childhood for sure.  He absolutely loves it!  He’s been playing with it everyday.
