Nato

Yesterday Nate was full of mischief. I was sitting at the kitchen table doing homework with M when I felt a cool breeze. After some inspection, I found the front door wide open and Nate on the front porch looking at the fish in our little pond. He found no fault in what he had done...but he did kindly tell me that Lilly had run off. You're not supposed to let Lilly run out the front door Nate! (Don't worry, I didn't chase after Lilly, but she came home pretty quickly on her own.) I must have forgotten to bolt the door.

Then later, we went to play in the front yard. Our first chance to play outside without getting bundled up in a loooong time! It felt great. We had to come in to get Addelyn and feed her. I noticed Nate chewing on a small rock. While trying to convince him to get the rock out of his mouth, he kept saying "gum!" I kept telling him it was a rock. He finally spit it out...and I'm ashamed to say that he was right. gross. He picked gum up from outside. I don't know who's it was or how long it had been out there! sick. sick. sick.
