Glimpses of Nils

Today I heard Nils talking in his room. He was using a toy periscope as a phone and having a conversation with the person on the other end. He was in his underwear pretending to be Ahsoka Tano (from Star Wars: The Clone Wars). He was reading a Scooby-Doo book at the same time. I wish I could have gotten his phone conversation down--it was pretty amusing.

Yesterday, Nils pulled a pair of newborn preemie pants off one of their stuffed teddy bears and managed to get them on and wear them as shorts. They actually fit him pretty well--especially since he's in undies now.

Nils likes to qualify statements with the word "actually." As in, if I call, "Hey boys, come to the table." Nils will respond: "Actually, I'm a girl."

Now that Anders has been in school this year, I'm getting more time with Nils, discovering his unique personality and getting to know him more. It's kind of fun.
