Watching Planet Earth with Nate:
Watching Planet Earth with Nate:
Narrator, "How the sea turtles return the many miles across this vast ocean to the exact spot where they were born, we have no idea."
Nate, "I'll think of some ideas for them!"

Nate and the Golden Ruler
Nate and the Golden Ruler
James has recently taken to doing "crafts". It's the first thing he wants to do after every meal. Usually, it goes something like this: James gets his paper, markers, stickers, and scissors from the craft desk, and proceeds to cut the paper into little pieces, once satisfied, he's requests help getting stickers off the sticker sheet and proceeds to cut the stickers into little pieces. Other times, he asks for play dough, requests that it be rolled flat .... and then cuts it into little pieces.
Anyways, he was preparing to do "crafts" again and had taken Nate's "Golden Ruler" (A Sunday School craft: A plastic ruler with gold glitter glued on) off the desk. Nate saw this, took offense, and grabbed the ruler out of James' hands. "James, this is mine." Then pointing at the sticker on the back. "See, it says, 'NATE', so this is mine. You can't have it."
"Actually, Nate, it says, 'Treat others the way you would like to be treated.' It's the Golden Rule..."

Yesterday in the car:
Nate, "I know more about most things than Mom and Dad."
Me, "No, Nate. Mom and Dad still know more about more things than you."
Nate, quite upset, "No! I know the most about everything!"
Me, "Well, what does two plus three equal?"
(silence)
Me, "...because Mom and Dad know the answer to that."
Nate, "...but, I, I, I, I, I just don't know how to say the last part."
Me, "Well can you say the starting part then?"
Nate, "Two plus three"

After finding out it was a year away, "It's really hard just looking at all these pictures, we should just buy them."
