I really enjoyed having some good quality "fun" time with them. True to form (and to his age), Nate added a few memorable quotes for the ages.
Line 1: Proving Nate also has John Deere green blood ;)
As we drive down Wolf Road, Nate sees a combine sitting in a corn field.
"Mommy, I see one of those little wiener combines!"
It was a tiny, 4-row, ancient, Gleaner combine. I could totally see where he had gotten confused and mis-spoke. I laughed hard before I corrected him (although I considered not doing so). But it did make this John Deere combine engineer happy.
Line 2: Proving that even the youngest understand things innately.
Nate: Mom, when Nile is 4, I'll be 6, right?
Me: Yes, that's right!
Nate: I can't wait to be 6.
Me: I can.
Nate: What?
Me: I am really enjoying this time. I like you being 4, Nate. I am not ready for you to be 6 yet.
Nate: (with that tone of voice that lets you know he thinks you are nuts). Mom, I'll still be here with you all the time when I'm 6!
Me: Thanks Nate, that makes me feel better.
Nate: And after that I'll be in the sky watching you! I'll be with you forever.
Okay, I'm tearing up now just retelling this story. I'm such a sap.

Anne, I absolutely love it! Those two are just so precious. I went through some of your older blogs, and I really enjoyed the one where they got in your shoes. My 3 always loved to wear/play in mine, too. How could you scold them for being so darn cute?
