Nolan, oh Nolan

Nolan is all boy- 100% boy. He loves dirt, football, riding his scooter, Pokemon cards, etc. He likes blue and hates pink. He climbs mountains, skis down steep slopes. He wants to go on a real backpacking trip as soon as he can carry his own load. He likes to rake leaves, play with dogs, and dig holes. Yep, he's all boy. There is also a silly side of Nolan. He loves to tease. He loves to tell jokes. And sometimes, when "silly" collides with "all boy", the silly side prevails.

Aly's kids closest to Nolan in age are both girls. When we go play with the cousins and Jonathan isn't with us, Nolan is happy to play with his girls cousins and go along with their games and ideas, is long as the play is open to Nolan's interpretation. That is when his silly side emerges. The other day, Nolan came up from Aly's basement... he'd been playing dress up with Avery and her friend. Here are the results...






Yes, "silly" definitely trumped "all boy"
